This project has been built by Indigo Tree, and it's powered by SvelteKit and Cloudflare.

This is our template for new SvelteKit projects, The app itself prints a "Hello, world".

Onboarding

Please read carefully through this entire file (it's important!).

To be onboarded to the project, you'll need the following from Indigo Tree:

• Access to our Github organisation.
• Access to the appropriate Cloudflare account.
• Access to the project on Teamwork.

Contact the project manager and/or your developer colleagues to get access as required. You will need to enable multi-factor authentication on your accounts.

Development process

Before you begin committing code, double-check that you have the correct email address configured for this particular Git repo. It's likely that this should be your work email address instead of a personal email address.

Local development

Once you have installed dependencies with npm install, start a development server:

npm run dev

# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
npm run dev -- --open

Building

To create a production version of the app:

npm run build

You can preview the production build with npm run preview.

Git Flow

The development process mostly follows the Git Flow model. Development happens in feature branches, which are merged into develop, which is merged into staging for deployment to the testing environment, and then merged into main for deployment to production.

When a pull request is opened, it will be automatically assigned to one of your colleagues for code review, after which it is your responsibility to merge into the project.

Package management

This project uses NPM for package management. NPM is used to install build tools and third-party Javascript packages.

Deployment

Deployment to Cloudflare Pages is handled by a Github Action. To set this up for a new project, consult Cloudflare's documentation.

Deployment to develop

1. Triggered when a change is merged into develop branch on Github.
2. Javascript quality checks are run and must pass prior to deployment.
3. Github deploys the changes to Cloudflare Pages.

Deployment to staging

1. Triggered when the develop branch is merged into staging on Github.
2. Javascript quality checks are run and must pass prior to deployment.
3. Github deploys the changes to Cloudflare Pages.

Deployment to production

1. Triggered when the staging branch is merged into main on Github.
2. Javascript quality checks are run and must pass prior to deployment.
3. Github deploys the changes to Cloudflare Pages.

Running the tests

The project contains only one type of automated test:

• Coding standards which are run with ESLint.

All of the test frameworks are installed with NPM as part of setup.
