Raw Blame History

Project Info

First of all, thank you everyone who made pull requests for Uptime Kuma, I never thought GitHub Community can be that nice! And also because of this, I also never thought other people actually read my code and edit my code. It is not structured and commented so well, lol. Sorry about that.

The project was created with vite.js (vue3). Then I created a subdirectory called "server" for server part. Both frontend and backend share the same package.json.

The frontend code build into "dist" directory. The server (express.js) exposes the "dist" directory as root of the endpoint. This is how production is working.

Key Technical Skills

  • Node.js (You should know what are promise, async/await and arrow function etc.)
  • Socket.io
  • SCSS
  • Vue.js
  • Bootstrap
  • SQLite

Directories

  • data (App data)
  • dist (Frontend build)
  • extra (Extra useful scripts)
  • public (Frontend resources for dev only)
  • server (Server source code)
  • src (Frontend source code)
  • test (unit test)

Can I create a pull request for Uptime Kuma?

⚠️ 2022-03-02 Update:

Since I found that merging pull requests is a pretty heavy task for me, I try to rearrange it.

✅ Accept:

  • Bug/Security fix
  • Translations
  • Adding notification providers

❌ Avoid:

  • Large pull requests
  • New big features

My long story here: https://www.reddit.com/r/UptimeKuma/comments/t1t6or/comment/hynyijx/

Recommended Pull Request Guideline

Before deep into coding, disscussion first is preferred. Creating an empty pull request for disscussion would be recommended.

  1. Fork the project
  2. Clone your fork repo to local
  3. Create a new branch
  4. Create an empty commit git commit -m "[empty commit] pull request for <YOUR TASK NAME>" --allow-empty
  5. Push to your fork repo
  6. Create a pull request: https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/compare
  7. Write a proper description
  8. Click "Change to draft"
  9. Discussion

❌ Won't Merge

  • Any breaking changes
  • Duplicated pull request
  • Buggy
  • Existing logic is completely modified or deleted
  • A function that is completely out of scope

Project Styles

I personally do not like something need to learn so much and need to config so much before you can finally start the app.

  • Easy to install for non-Docker users, no native build dependency is needed (at least for x86_64), no extra config, no extra effort to get it run
  • Single container for Docker users, no very complex docker-compose file. Just map the volume and expose the port, then good to go
  • Settings should be configurable in the frontend. Env var is not encouraged.
  • Easy to use

Coding Styles

  • 4 spaces indentation
  • Follow .editorconfig
  • Follow ESLint
  • Methods and functions should be documented with JSDoc

Name convention

  • Javascript/Typescript: camelCaseType
  • SQLite: underscore_type
  • CSS/SCSS: dash-type

Tools

  • Node.js >= 14
  • NPM >= 8.5
  • Git
  • IDE that supports ESLint and EditorConfig (I am using IntelliJ IDEA)
  • A SQLite GUI tool (SQLite Expert Personal is suggested)

Install dependencies

npm ci

Dev Server

(2022-04-26 Update)

We can start the frontend dev server and the backend dev server in one command.

Port 3000 and port 3001 will be used.

npm run dev

Backend Server

For development, it binds to 0.0.0.0:3001 by default. For production, it binds to 0.0.0.0:3000 by default.

It is mainly a socket.io app + express.js.

express.js is just used for serving the frontend built files (index.html, .js and .css etc.)

Structure in /server/

  • model/ (Object model, auto mapping to the database table name)
  • modules/ (Modified 3rd-party modules)
  • notification-providers/ (individual notification logic)
  • routers/ (Express Routers)
  • socket-handler (Socket.io Handlers)
  • server.js (Server entry point and main logic)

Frontend Dev Server

It binds to 0.0.0.0:3000 by default. Frontend dev server is used for development only.

For production, it is not used. It will be compiled to dist directory instead.

You can use Vue.js devtools Chrome extension for debugging.

Build the frontend

npm run build

Frontend Details

Uptime Kuma Frontend is a single page application (SPA). Most paths are handled by Vue Router.

The router is in src/router.js

As you can see, most data in frontend is stored in root level, even though you changed the current router to any other pages.

The data and socket logic are in src/mixins/socket.js.

Database Migration

  1. Create patch-{name}.sql in ./db/
  2. Add your patch filename in the patchList list in ./server/database.js

Unit Test

It is an end-to-end testing. It is using Jest and Puppeteer.

npm run build
npm test

By default, the Chromium window will be shown up during the test. Specifying HEADLESS_TEST=1 for terminal environments.

Update Dependencies

Install ncu https://github.com/raineorshine/npm-check-updates

ncu -u -t patch
npm install

Since previously updating Vite 2.5.10 to 2.6.0 broke the application completely, from now on, it should update patch release version only.

Patch release = the third digit (Semantic Versioning)
