Development Guidelines

• TypeScript everywhere (as much as posisble) Avoid the use of any, as typecasting, ts-ignore.
• Tailwind everywhere (as much as possible). We are trying to keep the styling approach consistent so stick to Tailwind unless you have a specific reason to use something else.
• Use eslint and prettier in your IDE.
• Keep it simple. A lot of our contributors are junior/mid-level developers so we favor code-readability and easy onboarding to optimal performance and code cleverness. Dumb is readable, readable is smart.
• Don't reinvent the wheel. For more complex, standard components (modal, dropdown, etc) we use 3rd party headless libraries like HeadlessUI or RadixUI.

Development Onboarding Notes

• Intro to Next.js

• Intro to TypeScript

• Intro to Tailwind

• Localization: We use next-i18next to switch localization between the main site language (i.e., Czech) and Ukrainian.

  const { t } = useTranslation();
  ...
  <p>{t('homepage.box_child_title')}</p>
  

• Language variants: We use the NEXT_PUBLIC_COUNTRY_VARIANT environment variable to decide whether to build the Czech, Slovak or Polish variant of the site. See locales.ts for more details. When making changes, check that your code works in all language variants. The merge request pipeline automatically deploys the preview of each language variant.

• Language variant singpost is deployed separately from the main app using GitHub pages. See docs/signpost-readme.md for more details.

• Data management:

  • We use Airtable for managing the site content (phrases, categories).
  • The data is pulled into the movapp-data repository, enriched with sounds generated using Azure text-to-speech API and hosted on a CDN at data.movapp.eu
  • This website, as well as mobile apps pull the data from the CDN.

• Generating PDFs

  • Pages donwloadable as PDFs have a pdf.tsx or pdf/[param].tsx file next to their index.html. This file contains the simplified print-friendly version of the page.
    • Tip: Flexbox or CSS grid styling can result in ugly page break inside rows/elements. Prefer using tables, divs, paragraphs in combination with break-inside CSS rule to produce clean page breaks.
  • The page is generated during npm run build and then the exportPdfs.ts post-build script uses pupeeteer to turn the html file into a PDF a saves it in the public/pdf folder. See the script for implementation details.
    • Warning: Always run always run post-build scripts with "NODE_OPTIONS='--unhandled-rejections=strict'. Otherwise, they can fail on Vercel without killing the build, blocking the build slot for other deployments before the Vercel's 45 min timeout.
  • The generated PDFs are not commited to git, but generated on Vercel with every deployment.
  • The pdfs inside public folder are then accesible from regular Next pages: <a href="/pdf/generatedFile".pdf>Download PDF</a>
