This node app is meant to be used to generate a valid publiccode.yml file. By means of filling all the forms it is possible to automatically generate a YAML file compatible with the latest version of the standard. Such a file may be copied or downloaded locally in order to be inserted in the root of the target repository.

Furthermore, the app may be used as a validator. In fact, it is possible to paste an already existing publiccode.yml file inside the editor or import it by means of the load button. As such, the editor will validate the imported document and eventually it will help to fix the existing issues.

It is possible to try a live demo of the editor. The demo can be found here. This version of the demo is automatically deployed from the master branch so it should be considered stable.

Contributions are always welcome! If you find some problems or glitches when using the app, we warmly encourage you to file an issue using GitHub's issue tracking feature. However, the CONTRIBUTING.md file located inside the root of the repo provides insightful details about how to collaborate in an efficient way with the community.

This is a REACT app. As such, you need the basic tools to interact with it. You can use yarn.

First clone (or download) the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/italia/publiccode-editor.git

Then open a shell, navigate to the freshly downloaded folder and run:

$ yarn install

to install the dependencies. Now, in order to run the development server locally, you should run:

$ yarn dev

This will expose a webserver listening to port 3000. As such, you may browse http://127.0.0.1:3000 to check the app.

All the URLs used throughout the app are stored in a dedicated file found in app/contents/constants.js in order to be easily changed.

Starting from release 1.1, the iPA list is fetched from an Elasticsearch instance. This endpoint is communicated by means of the ELASTIC_URL environment variable. If the variable is not present, the app falls back into using a simple input form for such a key.

If you want to fire a docker instance for deployment purposes, you can make use of the Dockerfile already in the root of the project. By running:

$ docker build -t publiccode-editor .

you can build a docker image. Subsequently, by running:

$ docker run -p 3000:80 publiccode-editor

you can run the docker container and see the results inside the browser at localhost:80

Alternatively you can opt for docker-compose way, just copy .env-example to .env and filling with your ES instance and then run:

$ docker-compose up

And pointing your browser at localhost:8100
