Decidim::Redirects

A Decidim module to add possibility to add redirections to the system. When things are moved or changed in the system, it is many times needed to redirect old URLs to new ones.

The gem has been developed by Mainio Tech.

The development has been sponsored by the City of Helsinki.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "decidim-redirects"

And then execute:

$ bundle
$ bundle exec rails decidim_redirects:install:migrations
$ bundle exec rails db:migrate

To keep the gem up to date, you can use the commands above to also update it.

Usage

TBD

Contributing

See Decidim.

Developing

To start contributing to this project, first:

• Install the basic dependencies (such as Ruby and PostgreSQL)
• Clone this repository

Decidim's main repository also provides a Docker configuration file if you prefer to use Docker instead of installing the dependencies locally on your machine.

You can create the development app by running the following commands after cloning this project:

$ bundle
$ DATABASE_USERNAME=<username> DATABASE_PASSWORD=<password> bundle exec rake development_app
$ npm i

Note that the database user has to have rights to create and drop a database in order to create the dummy test app database.

Then to test how the module works in Decidim, start the development server:

$ cd development_app
$ DATABASE_USERNAME=<username> DATABASE_PASSWORD=<password> bundle exec rails s

In case you are using rbenv and have the rbenv-vars plugin installed for it, you can add the environment variables to the root directory of the project in a file named .rbenv-vars. If these are defined for the environment, you can omit defining these in the commands shown above.

Code Styling

Please follow the code styling defined by the different linters that ensure we are all talking with the same language collaborating on the same project. This project is set to follow the same rules that Decidim itself follows.

The following linters are used:

• Ruby, Rubocop
• JS/ES, eslint

You can run the code styling checks by running the following commands from the console:

$ bundle exec rubocop
$ npm run lint

To ease up following the style guide, you should install the plugins to your favorite editor, such as:

• Atom
  • linter-rubocop
  • linter-eslint
• Sublime Text
  • Sublime RuboCop
  • SublimeLinter-eslint
• Visual Studio Code
  • Rubocop for Visual Studio Code
  • VS Code ESLint extension

Testing

To run the tests run the following in the gem development path:

$ bundle
$ DATABASE_USERNAME=<username> DATABASE_PASSWORD=<password> bundle exec rake test_app
$ DATABASE_USERNAME=<username> DATABASE_PASSWORD=<password> bundle exec rspec

Note that the database user has to have rights to create and drop a database in order to create the dummy test app database.

In case you are using rbenv and have the rbenv-vars plugin installed for it, you can add these environment variables to the root directory of the project in a file named .rbenv-vars. In this case, you can omit defining these in the commands shown above.

Test code coverage

If you want to generate the code coverage report for the tests, you can use the SIMPLECOV=1 environment variable in the rspec command as follows:

$ SIMPLECOV=1 bundle exec rspec

This will generate a folder named coverage in the project root which contains the code coverage report.
