Code.gov - Unlocking the potential of the Federal Government’s software.

Build Status Code Climate tested with jest

Introduction

Code.gov is a website promoting good practices in code development, collaboration, and reuse across the U.S. Government. Code.gov provides tools and guidance to help agencies implement the Federal Source Code Policy. It also includes an inventory of government custom code to promote reuse between agencies and provides tools to help government and the public collaborate on open source projects.

To learn more about the project, check out this blog post.

Code.gov is an open source project, so we invite your contributions, be it in the form of code, design, or ideas.

Contributing

Here’s how you can help contribute to code.gov:

Getting Started

You will need node to run this website. It's built against v10.19.0. The best way to get node is to install it via nvm. See the nvm installation instructions to set it up on your system.

After you have cloned this repo, you can use npm install to install all of the project’s dependencies.

You can then run the server using npm run start.

By default, the development server will listen on http://localhost:8080/. You can change the default port by setting the PORT environment variable before starting the server (for example, PORT=3000 npm start).

Specifying an API Key

The app uses the API key provided in the site.json by default. If you want to override that, specify an CODE_GOV_API_KEY environmental variable. Here's an example:

CODE_GOV_API_KEY=l87sfdi7ybc2bic7bai8cb2i176c3b872tb3 npm run start

An alternate approach to using your API key every time you use npm run start is to create a .env.local file and store your API key. (Remember to use CODE_GOV_API_KEY=...) In accordance with dotenv-flow, your personal key will be ignored when committing updates to GH.

You can sign up for an API key.

File Structure

The directories in src are organized around the pillars of React, along with several additional custom file types. When creating new files, be sure to add your file and any necessary templates, styles, and tests to a directory dedicated to your new file in the appropriate place.

Style Guide

The bulk of the CSS for this application is at Style Guide repository so that we can more easily keep things consistent and deploy changes more quickly.

You'll need to clone/download the Style Guide repository to get started.

If you need to make CSS changes, make them within this directory and commit them to that repository.

For more instructions on how to make changes, view the readme inside of the Style Guide repository.

Testing

Unit testing is done using the jest framework with enzyme.

Use npm run test to run unit tests a single time. This will generate a code coverage report.

Use npm run test-watch to run unit tests continuously, re-running each time a file is saved. By default only files changed since the last commit will be ran, follow the command line prompt for customizing how tests are ran. Snapshot tests can be updated while running this command, by pressing u to updated them.

Note: console.log/warn/error are mocked in unit tests and will not print anything to avoid cluttering the command line. Use a different logging, such as console.info for debugging while running tests

Note: site should be running locally before executing npm run test or you might get false errors due to the component plugins being used

To run web accessibility testing do the following: a. Make sure ruby and the bundler gem are installed on your computer. b. Start a server by running npm run start. c. Use the npm run test-pa11y command to run the accessibility tests.

Pa11y-ci uses URLs in the sitemap file to run tests against. It currently excludes anything in /projects. Since this is over 6000 items, it would take a long time to finish and just report the same issues over and over. Additional accessibility testing configuration is located in the .pa11yci file. A select few projects are listed here as URL's to test. These are tested in addition to the sitemap.xml. The --sitemap-find and --sitemap-replace commands allow us to scan the named pages in the sitemap, but test them locally against the server you are running on your machine.

We follow the WCAG2AA standard. For more info on the rules being tested checkout the pa11y wiki

End-to-end tests:
We use Cypress to run end-to-end tests.
To run Cypress testing do the following:
a. Make sure you run npm install to install all of the project’s dependencies.
b. Start a server by running npm run start.
c. Use the npm run test:cypress command to run the Cypress tests.

Once these steps are completed, you should see the list of spec files.

Cypress startup

Click the run all specs button (in the upper right) to run the tests.
