Build from source
Please note that in order to build development/debug version, it's better to alter the configure and build steps above with:
./helio/blaze.sh # without '-release' flag. Creates build-dbg subfolder
cd build-dbg && ninja dragonfly
Before you make your changes
cd dragonfly # project root
# Make sure you have 'pre-commit' e 'clang-format' installed
pip install pre-commit clang-format
# IMPORTANT! Enable our pre-commit message hooks
# This will ensure your commits match our formatting requirements
pre-commit install
This step must be done on each machine you wish to develop and contribute from to activate the commit-msg and commit hooks client-side.
Once you have done these things, we look forward to adding your contributions and improvements to the Dragonfly DB project.
Unit testing
# Build specific test
cd build-dbg && ninja [test_name]
# e.g cd build-dbg && ninja generic_family_test
# Run
./[test_name]
# e.g ./generic_family_test
Signoff Commits
All community submissions must include a signoff.
git commit -s -m '...'
Squash Commits
Please squash all commits for a change into a single commit (this can be done using "git rebase -i"). Do your best to have a well-formed commit message for the change.
Use Conventional Commits
This repo uses Conventional Commmits
The Conventional Commits specification is a lightweight convention on top of commit messages. It provides an easy set of rules for creating an explicit commit history; which makes it easier to write automated tools on top of. This convention dovetails with SemVer, by describing the features, fixes, and breaking changes made in commit messages.
The commit message should be structured as follows:
<type>[optional scope]: <description>
[optional body]
[optional footer(s)]
This repo uses automated tools to standardize the formatting of code, text files and commits.
- Pre-commit hooks validate and automatically apply code formatting rules.
pre-commit hooks
The Dragonfly DB team has agreed to systematically use a number of pre-commit hooks to normalize formatting of code. You need to install and enable pre-commit to have these used when you do your own commits.
