Running locally

sendou.ink

Prerequisites: nvm

There is a sequence of commands you need to run:

1. nvm use to switch to the correct Node version. If you don't have the correct Node.js version yet it will prompt you to install it via the nvm install command. If you have problems with nvm you can also install the latest LTS version of Node.js from their website.
2. npm i to install the dependencies.
3. Make a copy of .env.example that's called .env. Filling additional values is not necessary unless you want to use real Discord authentication or develop the Lohi bot.
4. npm run migrate up to set up the database tables.
5. npm run dev to run the project in development mode.
6. Navigate to http://localhost:5800/admin. There press the seed button to fill the DB with test data. You can also impersonate any user (Sendou#0043 = admin).

See CONTRIBUTING.md for more information.

Translations

Translation Progress

sendou.ink can be translated into any language. All the translations can be found in the locales folder. Here is how you can contribute:

1. Copy a .json file from /en folder.
2. Translate lines one by one. For example "country": "Country", could become "country": "Maa",. Keep the "key" on the left side of : unchanged.
3. Finally, send the translated .json to Sendou or make a pull request if you know how.

Things to note:

• weapons.json and gear.json are auto-generated. Don't touch these.
• If some language doesn't have a folder it can be added.
• Some translated .json files can also have some lines in English as new lines get added to the site. Those can then be translated.
• Some lines have a dynamic part like this one: "articleBy": "by {{author}}" in this case {{author}} should appear in the translated version unchanged. So in other words don't translate the part inside {{}}.
• There is one more special syntax to keep in mind. When you translate this line "project": "Sendou.ink is a project by <2>Sendou</2> with help from contributors:", the <2></2> should appear in the translated version. The text inside these tags can change.
• To update a translation file copy the existing file, do any modifications needed and send the updated one.

Any questions please ask Sendou!

Articles

1. Take an existing article as a base: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sendouc/sendou.ink/rewrite/content/articles/in-the-zone-26-winners.md
2. Copy and paste the contents to a text file
3. First, edit the info section at the top:

• "title" = title of the page
• "date" = date when this article was written (format YYYY-MM-DD)
• "author" = your name as you want it shown on the website

4. Write the actual article below the second ---
5. You can use Markdown for more advanced formatting (read https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax for more info)
6. Name the file as you want the URL to be. For example in-the-zone-26-winners.md becomes https://sendou.ink/a/in-the-zone-26-winners
7. Send the file to Sendou (or open a pull request if you know how)
8. Optional: also send an image as .png if you want to show a link preview. The preferred dimensions are 1200 × 630.

API

If you want to use the API then please leave an issue explaining your use case. By default, I want to allow open use of the data on the site. It's just not recommended to use the same APIs the web pages use as they are not stable at all and can change at any time without warning.

Feature folders

Feature folders contain all the code needed to make that feature happen. Some common folders include:

• routes (same principle as Remix file system routing)
• queries
• components
• core (all core logic, separated from any React details)

Some common files:

• styles.css
• feature-hooks.ts
• feature-utils.ts
• feature-constants.ts
• feature-schemas.server.ts

Note: Currently the project is in progress to migrating this style so that's why not everything is using it yet.

Commands

Add new badge to the database

npm run add-badge -- sundae "4v4 Sundaes"

Rename display name of a badge

npm run rename-badge -- 10 "New 4v4 Sundaes"

Converting gifs (badges) to thumbnail (.png)

sips -s format png ./sundae.gif --out .

Convert many .png files to .avif

While in the folder with the images:

for i in *.png; do npx @squoosh/cli --avif '{"cqLevel":33,"cqAlphaLevel":-1,"denoiseLevel":0,"tileColsLog2":0,"tileRowsLog2":0,"speed":6,"subsample":1,"chromaDeltaQ":false,"sharpness":0,"tune":0}' $i; done

Note: it only works with Node 16.

How to...

Download the production database from Render.com

Note: This is only useful if you have access to a production running on Render.com

1. Access the "Shell" tab
2. cd /var/data
3. cp db.sqlite3 db-copy.sqlite3
4. wormhole send db-copy.sqlite3
5. On the receiving computer use the command shown.

Doing monthly update

1. Fill /scripts/dicts with new data from leanny repository:

2. Update AVAILABLE_SR_GEAR with new SR gear

8. npm run create-analyzer-json 8a. Double check that no hard-coded special damages changed
9. npm run create-object-dmg-json
10. Fill new weapon IDs by category to weapon-ids.ts (easy to take from the diff of English weapons.json)
11. Get gear IDs for each slot from /output folder and update gear-ids.ts.
12. Replace object-dmg.json with the object-dmg.json in /output folder
13. Replace weapon-params.json with the params.json in /output folder
14. Delete all images inside main-weapons, main-weapons-outlined, main-weapons-outlined-2 and gear folders.
15. Replace with images from Lean's repository.
16. Run the npm run replace-img-names command
17. Run the npm run replace-weapon-names command
18. Run the .avif generating command in each image folder.
19. Update manually any languages that use English gear.json and weapons.json files

Fix errors from the CI Pipeline

If you change any files and the CI pipeline errors out on certain formatting/linting steps (e.g. the Prettier or Stylelint step), run this command in the repo's root directory:

npm run cf

Before committing, if for some reason you see an abnormally high amount of files changed, simply run git add --renormalize . and it will fix the error.

• Background info: this is caused by the line endings on your local repo not matching those with the remote repos, which should remove the vast majority of unstaged files that appears to have no changes at all.
• Reference: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/configuring-git-to-handle-line-endings
