Developer setup

This is a pure Python project and should be straightforward to set up on Linux or MacOS. We do not support Windows for development, if you use Windows you'll have to use VSCode DevContainers or a similar solution.

We use Poetry for dependency management, and most of the config is the pyproject.toml.

Linting is done via git hooks, managed by pre-commit. The linters may change over time, but they are configured in our pre-commit-config.yaml.

Most of the setup and interaction with these systems is encapsulated in our Makefile.

Project setup

First, fork the repo and then clone your fork:

$ git clone https://github.com/adriangb/di.git
---> 100%
$ cd di

Now install the project dependencies. You will need Make installed along with a compatible Python version (currently, 3.9.X).

To set up the project, simply run:

$ make init

This will create a .venv virtualenv that you can configure your IDE to use.

Running tests

$ make test

Tests are run with pytest, so you can also run them manually or configure your IDE to run them. The tests are stored in the tests/ directory.

Running linting

Linting will run automatically on every commit. To disable this, you can commit with git commit --no-verify.

You can also run linting manually:

$ make lint

Documentation

The docs are written as markdown and built with MkDocs. Both the docs and their source code are stored in the docs/ directory.

To preview the docs locally as you edit them, run

$ make docs-serve

All the code fragments in the docs are stored as .py files in docs/src. These code fragments are tested as part of unit tests to ensure that the documentation stays up to date with the API.

Releases

This project uses continuous integration and continuous delivery on a trunk based workflow. Every merge into main should be fully functional code in a releasable state. As part of your pull request, you should propose what type of change is being made and determine the right version bump appropriately. While conventional commits are appreciated as a means of communication, especially for the merge commit, they are not required or enforced. You are however required to bump the package version in pyproject.toml. Every commit into main needs a version bump so that a release can be made, even if it is a refactor or "chore" type change.

Once your change is merged, the new docs and PyPi package will be released automatically. Every time a release is made on PyPi, a corresponding GitHub release will be created to correlate PyPi versions to git commits.
