Only "official" (that is, published by Paizo) data is to be included in the site. Anything else should be added to the homebrew repository.
Prioritise RAW above all else. Aim to provide a 1:1 copy of the original data. Obvious typos (for instance, mathematical errors in creature statblocks) may be corrected at the discretion of the maintainer(s).
Aim to use the latest version of any published material. Older versions which are sufficiently different (and relevant to community interests) can be moved to the homebrew repository.
Targeting ES6 was the original intent, but more modern features have long since crept into the code. Therefore, if something is available as standard in both Chrome and Firefox (preferably in versions dating back at least a couple of months), and isn't bleeding-edge, one can reasonable justify using it. As with all things, use common sense.
- Use tabs over spaces.
- The BEM ("Block Element Modifier") naming strategy should be used where possible.
-
Format JSON to match the default output of JavaScript's
JSON.stringify(using tabs for indentation), i.e. one line per bracket and one line per value. JSON files programmatically generated from other JSON files (i.e. those stored indata/generated) should be minified, however. -
When "tagging" references in data (e.g.
{@creature goblin}), the following rules apply:- Only tag references which are intended as references. For example, the Wizard class in
You gain one cantrip of your choice from the wizard spell listshould be tagged, whereas the Wizard class inTogether, a group of seven powerful wizards sought to contain the demonshould not be tagged. One is a reference to the mechanical class, one is merely the casual usage of the word "wizard." - In a similar vein, never tag anything within a
quote-type block. Even if the quote directly refers to a specific creature, we can assume the quote is from a universe/perspective in which (for example) statblocks don't exist, and therefore the tag should be omitted to maintain the flavour of the quote. - Within data from a source, avoid referencing content from a source printed after the publication of that source.
- Only tag references which are intended as references. For example, the Wizard class in
Parts of the JSON cleaning & style guidelines are also automated and can be applied using npm run clean-jsons. Additionally, this cleanup script is also run automatically as part of npm run build.
To remove trailing commas in JSON:
Find: (.*?)(,)(:?\s*]|\s*})
Replace: $1$3
’should be replaced with'“and”should be replaced with"—(em dash) should be replaced with\u2014(Unicode for em dash)–should be replaced with\u2013(Unicode for en dash)−should be replaced with\u2212(Unicode for minus sign)•should be not be used unless the JSON in question is not yet covered by the entryRenderer, i.e. should be encoded as a list- the only Unicode escape sequences allowed are
\u2014,\u2013, and\u2212; all other characters (unless noted above) should be stored as-is
-(hyphen) should only be used to hyphenate words, e.g.60-footand18th-level\u2014should be used for parenthetical dash pairs, or for marking empty table rows.\u2013should be used for joining numerical ranges, e.g.1-5should become1\u20135.\u2212should be used for unary minus signs, in the case of penalties. For example,"You have a -5 penalty to..."should become"You have a \u22125 penalty to...".- any whitespace on any side of a
\u2014should be removed
- Adjectives: a hyphen and the full name of the unit of measure should be used, e.g. dragon exhales acid in a
60-foot line - Nouns: a space and the short name of the unit of measure (including the trailing period) should be used, e.g.
blindsight 60 ft.,darkvision 120 ft. - Time: a slash,
/, with no spaces on either side followed by the capitalised unit of time, e.g.2/Turn,3/Day
Dice should be written as [X]dY[ <+|-|×> Z], i.e. with a space between dice and operator, and a space between operator and modifier. Some examples of acceptable formatting are: d6, 2d6, or 2d6 + 1.
Item names should be title-case, with the exception of units in parentheses, which should be sentence-case. Items who's volume or amount is specified by container (e.g. (vial)) treat the container as a unit.
Avoid binding ALT-modified events, as these are not available under MacOS or various Linux flavors. Binding SHIFT-/CTRL-modified events is preferred.
Make sure you have everything installed (npm install) and built (npm run build) to have a fully functional site.
Run npm run serve:dev to launch a local dev server that serves the project files on http://localhost:8080/index.html.
The repository contains a JSON Schema for the data files in test/schema-template/schema.json. The schema is currently a work in progress.
Details for how to make use of the schema vary based on what setup you are using to work with the repo.
To use the JSON Schema with Visual Studio Code, head to Settings and locate the JSON: Schemas setting. It is recommended you add this configuration only for the local workspace.
"json.schemas": [
{
"fileMatch": [
"data/**/*.json"
],
"url": "./test/schema-template/schema.json"
}
]Do npm run version-bump -- [OPTION], where [OPTION] is one of the following:
majorto increment the major version (1.2.3will become2.0.0)minorto increment the minor version (1.2.3will become1.3.0)patchto increment the patch version (1.2.3will become1.2.4)- a version number (like
1.2.3)
It will first run the tests and fail to increase the version if the tests fail.
It will then automatically replace the version in the files where it needs to be replaced, create a commit with the message chore(version): bump and create a tag (in the form v1.2.3) at the commit.
This feature can be easily disabled by doing npm config set git-tag-version false.
