A ticket handling system implemented using Elixir/Phoenix Liveview

Getting things going at your own place

To start your local version of Ticket:

• Install Docker for your platform
• Fork this repo
• Clone it (from your profile) onto your local machine
• Change into the ticket folder cd ticket
• Install Node.js dependencies in the assets folder, with npm --prefix=assets install
• Make a folder for that PostgreSQL data, with mkdir -p priv/pgdata
• Start a PostgreSQL container docker-compose -d up
• Install dependencies with mix deps.get
• Create and migrate your database with mix ecto.setup
• Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phx.server or if you prefer the prompt iex -S mix phx.server

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

Need to make sure tests are good? Run mix test and all acceptance/system tests with mix cypress.open

Looking for documentation? Fret not - mix docs - and then open doc/index.html

Ready to go to war?

Do you feel Ticket has what it takes to provide for your situation?

Contributing

We'd really like you to chip in!

This is what we believe to be the best workflow for you to follow:

1. Get things going at your own place (follow the list above)
2. Find an issue to work on - or suggest an issue yourself, and appoint it to yourself
3. Set a remote to point to SL2022/ticket (it's a onetime job) with git remote add ticket https://github.com/SL2022/ticket.git
4. Start with pulling the latest main, with git fetch ticket
5. Checkout you own main with git checkout main
6. Merge the current latest with git merge ticket/main
7. Resolve any conflicts - if any - and commit with something like "solved issues with xxx'
8. Checkout a new branch for this issue with git checkout -b what_the_issue_is_about_in_a_word_or_two
9. Do your magic with code ., emacs, vi, or whatever
10. Add documentation to modules, indoc test examples, and more
11. Add tests to cover what you do
12. Make sure to break no tests with mix test staying green
13. Add your changes with git add some_file*
14. Commit the changes with git commit -m 'what the issue is about in a few (10) words'
15. Checkout your main with git checkout main
16. Merge your changes into your own "copy" with git merge what_the_issue_is_about_in_a_word_or_two
17. Make sure all tests are staying green with mix test
18. Push your main to your repo
19. Go to your repo (on github.com) and press the "Pull request"
20. Motivate the PR - and create it.

Thank you very much from all of the Almanaq Team
