Getting Started

Node 16.2.0+ and NPM 7.13.0+ is required.

Install the dependencies.

npm i

Set the system environment variable NUMBERS_STORAGE_BASE_URL before build the app by appending the following string in ~/.profile:

export NUMBERS_STORAGE_BASE_URL="THE PRIVATE BASE URL"

Preview the app in web browser.

npm run serve

Development

Start a local dev server for app dev/testing.

npm run serve

Run tests.

npm run test

Run tests in headless mode.

npm run test.ci

Lint the projects.

npm run lint

Update cordova-res (splash screens and launcher icons).

cordova-res android --skip-config --copy

Contribution

• Run npm run lint before each commit.
• The committed codes should pass all GitHub checks.
• Use Visual Studio Code with workspace settings for consistent coding style.
• Use Prettier extension to auto format on save.
• Prefer Promise than Observable when only emitting one value. See issue #233.
• Avoid using toPromise() to convert Observable to Promise as it is an anti-pattern.

Platform

Android

If your operating system is Linux, set the linuxAndroidStudioPath in capacitor.config.json. For example,

{
  "linuxAndroidStudioPath": "/home/username/android-studio/bin/studio.sh"
}

Before running the app with Android Studio, build and sync the dependencies and web assets.

npm run build
npx cap sync android

Open the project in Android Studio.

npx cap open android

The script does the same thing for you.

npm run build.android

Caveat

• This app is still in the experimental stage.
• This app uses raw file system to save proofs, and thus the performance is not optimized.

Release

Bump version in package.json.

{
  "version": "a.b.c"
}

Bump version in android/app/build.gradle.

android {
    defaultConfig {
        versionCode <versionCode += a_diff*100 + b_diff*10 + c_diff>
        versionName "a.b.c"
    }
}

Run npm i to update package-lock.json.

Write the changelog in CHANGELOG.md.

When push to the master branch with new version in the package.json file, GitHub Action would automatically do the following jobs:

1. Create release GitHub page with debug APK.
2. Publish the app to Play Console on alpha track.
3. Upload debug apk to Google Drive.
4. Send notification to the private reminder-releases slack channel.
