# Architecture

<!--
This chapter should provide the user with as much information as possible about the architecture and overall structure of your project. Please provide a short introduction here.
-->
The documentation skeleton can be integrated in multiple ways into other projects, the recommended way is to add it as a devDependency.

## Content
As an npm package the project has also multiple commands that can be executed.

In this document one can find more information about the npm package and command architecture.

## Overall Structure

<!--
Please explain the overall structure of your project and how everything works together. You can use screenshots or code snippets to help visualize things like e.g. your folder structure or the project setup. In this chapter you can be as detailed as you like.
-->
The project consists of multiple parts, in the contribution guide one can find an overview of the [file structure](/docs/CONTRIBUTE.md#📁-file-structure).

### Entry script

The entry script can be found under `bin/index.js`.

This script is a wrapper for the commands implemented under `src/commands`.

Because the script is a wrapper it was decided to leave it in plain JavaScript.

The script imports/requires the commands from the UMD bundle out of the build folder.

The script checks the call parameters and depended on them calls one of the commands.

### The commands

The documentation skeleton project has three different commands to support with your own documentation structure.

The commands are written in TypeScript and with `microbundle` bundled into a UMD module.

Each command has a number of tests, which can be found in the directory `__tests__`.

### Shared

The `shared` folder contains the messages that are used by the different commands to communicate with the user.

## Technical Decisions

<!--
In this section you should list all technical things you use like frameworks, tools, languages and provide explanations of why you have chosen them. Think about e.g. what are the main reasons you choose a framework, what are the advantages you need for your project? Try to be as clear as possible so also new joiners understand why your setup is the best for your project.
-->
The project is bundled to a UMD module with the help of `microbundle`.

As this is an open source project we aim for a test coverage of >90%, experience showed that it good to cover as much as possible with tests.

We use [conventional commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) and enforce them with a hook that checks the commit message after creation with [commitlint](https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint)

The `pre-push` hook is used to run linting ([ESLint](https://eslint.org/)), formatting ([prettier](https://prettier.io/)) and testing ([Jest](https://jestjs.io/)).
If any part of the hook is failing the code can not be pushed before the required changes are implemented.

## APIs
If a work-in-progress should be pushed one can use the `--no-verify` flag on the push command but this bypass should only be used if needed.

<!--
Please describe briefly how you manage the APIs of your project and how to use them.
The package uses itself for the documentation, therefore we have multiple `self*` commands.
To use those commands a build needs to be done beforehand as it is calling the bundled code.

The documentation could:
The used node version is 18, due to a problem with the `mock-fs` dependency. The dependency is not compatible with node 20 yet.
Due to that we set the required node version between 16.20.2 and 20.0.0.

- describe the data structures, functions, arguments, return types, classes, payloads, etc., developers can refer to.
- refer to other existing resources (git repos, websites, etc.)
- if you are using one or more tools, describe how to install / access / use them
- how to test the APIs locally
-->
To make sure that the whole package can still be used by projects that use node >= 20.0.0 we delete the `engines` key out of the `package.json` before a publish happens and restore it afterwards again (see `prepublishOnly` and `postpublish` in `package.json`).

# Deployment

<!--
This chapter should provide the user with all needed information around the deployment of your project. Please provide a short introduction here.
-->
The documentation skeleton project will be deployed on every update of the main branch.

## Tooling

<!--
Please explain what kind of tools you use for your deployment, why you have choosen them and how to work with them.
-->
This project uses release-please and conventional commit messages for automated release creation and deploys the package to the npm registry.

We use the [Git-Flow](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/gitflow-workflow) branching model:

```mermaid
gitGraph
commit id: "a"
commit id: "b"
branch develop
checkout develop
checkout develop
branch feature1
checkout feature1
commit id: "c"
checkout develop
merge feature1
branch feature2
checkout feature2
commit id: "d"
checkout develop
merge feature2
checkout main
merge develop
branch "release"
checkout release
commit id: "1.0.0" tag: "release"
checkout main
merge release
checkout develop
merge main
```

### Release Please

Release Please automates CHANGELOG generation, the creation of GitHub releases, and version bumps for your projects. Release Please does so by parsing the git history, looking for Conventional Commit messages, and creating release PRs.

The tool runs on every update on the `main` branch and creates a release PR which needs to be manually be merged to create the release.

The updated `main` branch then needs to be merged back, please use rebase, into the `develop` branch.

Due to the open source nature of this project it was decided it is best to have a `develop` branch to test all new features together before an official release is created.

### Conventional Commit Messages

We use [Conventional Commit messages](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/) to be able to create changelog and version bumps automatically.

We have a pre-push hook installed that uses [commit lint](https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint) to verify the commits messages are following the conventional commit message standard.

## How to deploy

<!--
In this section you should discribe the deployment process for your project. Think about how developers who are unfamiliar with the project can deploy it to the respective enviroments.
-->
One needs to create a new PR from `develop` to `main`. Once the PR is approved and merged the GitHub workflow `release` will be started.

## Versioning
The `release` workflow will first run the tests and after they were successful a new release branch is created together with a PR from the release branch into `main`.

<!--
Please describe briefly how you manage the versioning of your project.
-->
Lastly a notification for the internal slack channel is created.

## Release Management
The newly created release PR needs to be manually merged into main to finish the package creation and release publishing.

After the release PR is merged the `develop` branch also needs to be updated by rebasing it onto the `main` branch.

## Versioning

<!--
If you have a release management setup in place, please describe the process and who to contact if support is needed.
-->
Please see [conventional commit messages](#conventional-commit-messages)

## Deployment Schedule

<!--
Please write down your deployment schedule. Consider using screenshots or graphs for better visualization.
-->
There is no deployment schedule. A new release is created whenever we have multiple new small features or a new big feature that we want to release.

## Support

<!--
If someone needs support while deploying your project, please list the possible contact persons or communication channels where people can get support.
-->
If you need support with the release process please [create an issue](https://github.com/deven-org/hamster/issues) or get in touch with [Jumace](https://github.com/Jumace).
