## Project Definition
|
|
|
|
BookStack is an opinionated wiki system that provides a pleasant and simple out of the box experience. New users to an instance should find the experience intuitive and only basic word-processing skills should be required to get involved in creating content on BookStack. The platform should provide advanced power features to those that desire it but they should not interfere with the core simple user experience.
|
|
|
|
BookStack is not designed as an extensible platform to be used for purposes that differ to the statement above.
|
|
|
|
In regards to development philosophy, BookStack has a relaxed, open & positive approach. At the end of the day this is free software developed and maintained by people donating their own free time.
|
|
|
|
## Road Map
|
|
|
|
Below is a high-level road map view for BookStack to provide a sense of direction of where the project is going. This can change at any point and does not reflect many features and improvements that will also be included as part of the journey along this road map. For more granular detail of what will be included in upcoming releases you can review the project milestones as defined in the "Release Process" section below.
|
|
|
|
- **Design Revamp** *[(In Progress)](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/pull/1153)*
|
|
- *A more organised modern design to clean things up, make BookStack more efficient to use and increase mobile usability.*
|
|
- **Platform REST API**
|
|
- *A REST API covering, at minimum, control of core content models (Books, Chapters, Pages) for automation and platform extension.*
|
|
- **Editor Alignment & Review**
|
|
- *Review the page editors with goal of achieving increased interoperability & feature parity while also considering collaborative editing potential.*
|
|
- **Permission System Review**
|
|
- *Improvement in how permissions are applied and a review of the efficiency of the permission & roles system.*
|
|
- **Installation & Deployment Process Revamp**
|
|
- *Creation of a streamlined & secure process for users to deploy & update BookStack with reduced development requirements (No git or composer requirement).*
|
|
|
|
## Release Versioning & Process
|
|
|
|
BookStack releases are each assigned a version number, such as "v0.25.2", in the format `v<phase>.<feature>.<patch>`. A change only in the `patch` number indicates a fairly minor release that mainly contains fixes and therefore is very unlikely to cause breakages upon update. A change in the `feature` number indicates a release which will generally bring new features in addition to fixes and enhancements. These releases have a small chance of introducing breaking changes upon update so it's worth checking for any notes in the [update guide](https://www.bookstackapp.com/docs/admin/updates/). A change in the `phase` indicates a much large change in BookStack that will likely incur breakages requiring manual intervention.
|
|
|
|
Each BookStack release will have a [milestone](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/milestones) created with issues & pull requests assigned to it to define what will be in that release. Milestones are built up then worked through until complete at which point, after some testing and documentation updates, the release will be deployed.
|
|
|
|
For feature releases, and some patch releases, the release will be accompanied by a post on the [BookStack blog](https://www.bookstackapp.com/blog/) which will provide additional detail on features, changes & updates otherwise the [GitHub release page](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/releases) will show a list of changes. You can sign up to be alerted to new BookStack blogs posts (once per week maximum) [at this link](http://eepurl.com/cmmq5j).

|
|
## Development & Testing
|
|
|
|
All development on BookStack is currently done on the master branch. When it's time for a release the master branch is merged into release with built & minified CSS & JS then tagged at its version. Here are the current development requirements:
|
|
|
|
* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) v10.0+
|
|
|
|
SASS is used to help the CSS development and the JavaScript is run through babel to allow for writing ES6 code. This is done using webpack. To run the build task you can use the following commands:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
# Install NPM Dependencies
|
|
npm install
|
|
|
|
# Build assets for development
|
|
npm run build
|
|
|
|
# Build and minify assets for production
|
|
npm run production
|
|
|
|
# Build for dev (With sourcemaps) and watch for changes
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
BookStack has many integration tests that use Laravel's built-in testing capabilities which makes use of PHPUnit. To use you will need PHPUnit 6 installed and accessible via command line, Directly running the composer-installed version will not work. There is a `mysql_testing` database defined within the app config which is what is used by PHPUnit. This database is set with the following database name, user name and password defined as `bookstack-test`. You will have to create that database and credentials before testing.
|
|
|
|
The testing database will also need migrating and seeding beforehand. This can be done with the following commands:
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
php artisan migrate --database=mysql_testing
|
|
php artisan db:seed --class=DummyContentSeeder --database=mysql_testing
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once done you can run `phpunit` in the application root directory to run all tests.
|
|
|
|
## Translations
|
|
|
|
All text strings can be found in the `resources/lang` folder where each language option has its own folder. To add a new language you should copy the `en` folder to an new folder (eg. `fr` for french) then go through and translate all text strings in those files, leaving the keys and file-names intact. If a language string is missing then the `en` translation will be used. To show the language option in the user preferences language drop-down you will need to add your language to the options found at the bottom of the `resources/lang/en/settings.php` file. A system-wide language can also be set in the `.env` file like so: `APP_LANG=en`.
|
|
|
|
You will also need to add the language to the `locales` array in the `config/app.php` file.
|
|
|
|
There is a script available which compares translation content to `en` files to see what items are missing or redundant. This can be ran like so from your BookStack install folder:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Syntax
|
|
php resources/lang/check.php <lang>
|
|
|
|
# Examples
|
|
php resources/lang/check.php fr
|
|
php resources/lang/check.php pt_BR
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Some strings have colon-prefixed variables in such as `:userName`. Leave these values as they are as they will be replaced at run-time.
|
|

The project's code of conduct [can be found here](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/blob/master/.github/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
|
|
|
|
### Code Standards
|
|
|
|
PHP code within BookStack is generally to [PSR-2](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-2/) standards. From the BookStack root folder you can run `./vendor/bin/phpcs` to check code is formatted correctly and `./vendor/bin/phpcbf` to auto-fix non-PSR-2 code.
|
|
|
|
### Pull Requests
|
|
|
|
Pull requests are welcome. Unless a small tweak or language update, It may be best to open the pull request early or create an issue for your intended change to discuss how it will fit in to the project and plan out the merge.
|
|
|
|
Pull requests should be created from the `master` branch since they will be merged back into `master` once done. Please do not build from or request a merge into the `release` branch as this is only for publishing releases.
|
|
|
|
If you are looking to alter CSS or JavaScript content please edit the source files found in `resources/assets`. Any CSS or JS files within `public` are built from these source files and therefore should not be edited directly.
|
|
|
|
