ProtonMail Web Client

Official AngularJS web client for the ProtonMail secure email service. ProtonMail also makes use of OpenPGPjs as our message cryptography is PGP compliant.

Translation

We are currently working with our community to localize ProtonMail from English to most of the world's major languages. If you're interested in being part of this translation project, send us an email to contact@protonmail.ch with the subject line "ProtonMail Translation Project [Your Language]" and we will offer you more information about it.

Basic Installation

npm install
npm start

To run the app without babel npm run start:raw

dependencies

Node.js >= v8
npm 5
git

Error with Mac

You need to install a few dep in order to be able to deploy

brew install libpng

or brew upgrade libpng if you already have the lib

If you have docker, and prefer to not install node (or anything else) locally

make start to start the app on a container (use make localurl to find the url where it's running)
make test to build the app (actual tests are still to come)

There is a very good chance you won't be able to use the app locally because of various security headers and such. But you should be able to get the code running enough to poke around and inspect it.

We are still in Beta and will have a more refined build process, installation instructions, unit tests, and all that good stuff once we exit Beta.

Development

We are very open to bug reports via Issues as well as Pull Requests.

CI build - no minify

npm run build

Same as npm start use --api to change the default api

CI build for e2e

npm run build:ci

Same as npm start use --api to change the default api

Custom command

npx appComponent
npm run create

cf Component Generator

Deploy

Create a new version + tag => npm version (patch|minor|major).
Deploy via npm npm run deploy -- --api=X --branch=Y.
- X is the API version available in API_TARGETS in the env/config.js file
- Y can be deploy-dev, deploy-beta, deploy-prod-a or deploy-prod-b.

Each deploy-<NAME> will be available at <NAME>.protonmail.com.

npm run deployProd will deploy the bundle for both prod, old, dev and tor

CLI Flags

--branch : Deploy branch dest
--api : Set an API for the app (dev, live, etc.)
--debug: turn on debug mode for the command (default false)

I18n à la demande

Extract translation keys

npm run i18n:extract

We build i18n when we create a build for beta or prod

npm run i18n:build

It will do everything you need. Import new translations first for a better result ;)

Release notes

Extract markdown

NOTE: In order to generate the release notes you need to set the RELEASER_GH_TOKEN environment variable.

To generate release notes for the latest version (tag), run the following command:

npm run releaser:extract

To generate release notes for a specific version (tag), run:

npm run releaser:extract -- --tag v3.12.24

The release notes are outputted to stdout. Those notes have to be manually inserted to CHANGELOG.md.

It is also possible to run the following command to automatically unshift the output from releaser into CHANGELOG.md

npm run releaser:unshift

Generate HTML file

The HTML file from the CHANGELOG.md file is automatically generated when running start or dist. It takes the markdown file and generates the HTML file at ${build}/assets/changelog.tpl.html which will be dynamically fetched when the modal opens.

Commit naming conventions

For a fix linked to an issue number:

(Fix|Close|Resolve) #ISSUENUMBER (multiple allowed, separated by comma)

For a hotfix not linked to any issue:

Hotfix - Description

Any commits that follow this convention will be included in the release notes generator.

For fixes linked to an issue, the description will be taken from GitHub and grouped according to if it has the Bug or Feature label.

For hotfixes, the description in the commit name will be included in the release notes under the group Others.

Branch naming conventions

For a fix

fix/<your feature>

For a feature

feat/<your feature>
or feature/<your feature>

Tests

npm test

To edit test it's better to run npm run testwatch (tests with a watcher)

End to end testing for AngularJS

Based on The Amazing Cypress.

Dev: npx cypress open or npm run cypress:open

CI:

npm run e2e
