1. Make sure you have Node.js version >= 10.

• We recommend using nvm: nvm install.

We recommend cloning the repository in a folder dedicated to opencollective projects.

This project requires an access to the Open Collective API.

By default, it will try to connect to the Open Collective staging API, you don't have to change anything.

In case you want to connect to the Open Collective API running locally:

• clone, install and start opencollective-api
• in this project, copy .env.local to .env.

npm run dev

To run the tests:

• for pages and components use npm test
• for end-to-end (e2e) tests using Cypress see our dedicated guide.

To update:

• Jest snapshots: run npm run test:update
• Translation files: run npm run langs:update
• GraphQL schema for ESLint: run npm run graphql:update

We use React-Styleguidist to develop and document our React components in isolation with styled-components and styled-system.

More info: docs/styleguide.md

Translating the interface doesn't require any technical skill, you can go on https://crowdin.com/project/opencollective and start translating right away!

We're currently looking for contributions for the following languages:

• French
• Spanish
• Japanese

Want to add a new language for Open Collective? Contact us, we'll be happy to help you to set it up!

Code style? Commit convention? Please check our Contributing guidelines.

TL;DR: we use Prettier and ESLint, we do like great commit messages and clean Git history.

This project is currently deployed to staging and production with Heroku. To deploy, you need to be a core member of the Open Collective team.
