Development

Requirements

This project requires node 18 and uses pnpm as package manager.

If you have nvm installed run

nvm use

pnpm & corepack

You do not need to install pnpm, you just need have node 20 installed and then enable corepack:

corepack enable

You should then be able to run pnpm normally in this project, e.g.

pnpm run fmt

---

How To

Create a new post

Run pnpm run create-post and follow the instructions.

Change Homepage content

HomePage content is defined in:

• src/pages/api/hp/en.json.ts
• src/pages/api/hp/it.json.ts

Edit enHpContent to modify the english homepage and itHpContent to change the italian one.

Upcoming events

The upcoming events page is populated using the meetup api (env.MEETUP_GRAPHQL_ENDPOINT).

Placeholders

The page generation logic automatically adds placeholders after the current month. You can use the env var PUBLIC_MONTHS_WITHOUT_GENERATED_UPCOMING_EVENTS to filter out placeholder months.

PUBLIC_MONTHS_WITHOUT_GENERATED_UPCOMING_EVENTS="08,10" # Hide August and October placeholders.

Deployment

Manual deploys

To deploy push the content of main to release:

git fetch --all
git switch main
git pull origin main
git diff --quiet && git diff --cached --quiet && git push origin main:release # --force push if necessary

See deploy.yaml for more details.

Scheduled deploys

There's a cronjob defined in scheduled-deploys.yml that periodically triggers the deployment.

Common scripts

• pnpm run fmt format code using prettier
• pnpm run create-post prompts to generate new posts
