Contributing

We can always use your help to improve Django AI Assistant! Please feel free to tackle existing issues. If you have a new idea, please create a thread on Discussions.

Please follow this guide to learn more about how to develop and test the project locally, before opening a pull request.

Local Dev Setup

Clone the repo

git clone [email protected]:vintasoftware/django-ai-assistant.git

Install development tools

This project uses Poetry for dependency and virtual environment management.

If you need to install the version of Python recommended for the project, you can use Pyenv.

For installing Node, we recommend NVM.

Install dependencies

Backend

Go to the project root. To instantiate the virtual environment, run

poetry shell

Install the Python dependencies:

poetry install

If you encounter an error regarding the Python version required for the project, you can use pyenv to install the appropriate version based on .python-version:

pyenv install

Frontend

Go to the frontend directory and install the Node dependencies:

cd frontend
pnpm install

Install pre-commit hooks

pre-commit install

It's critical to run the pre-commit hooks before pushing your code to follow the project's code style, and avoid linting errors.

Updating the OpenAPI schema

It's critical to update the OpenAPI schema when you make changes to the django_ai_assistant/api/views.py or related files:

poetry run python manage.py generate_openapi_schema --output frontend/openapi_schema.json
sh -c 'cd frontend && pnpm run generate-client'

Developing with the example project

Run the frontend project in build:watch mode:

cd frontend
pnpm run build:watch

Go to the example project, install the dependencies, and link the frontend project:

cd ..  # back to project root directory
cd example
pnpm install
pnpm remove django-ai-assistant-client  # remove the distributed package to use the local one
pnpm link ../frontend

Then follow the instructions in the example README to run the example project.

Tests

Before running tests copy the .env.example file to .env.tests.

cp .env.example .env.tests

Run tests with:

poetry run pytest

The tests use pytest-vcr to record and replay HTTP requests to AI models.

If you're implementing a new test that needs to call a real AI model, you need to set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable with a real API key in the .env.tests file.

Then, you will run the tests in record mode:

poetry run pytest --record-mode=once

To run frontend tests:

cd frontend
pnpm run test

Documentation

We use mkdocs-material to generate the documentation from markdown files. Check the files in the docs directory.

To run the documentation locally, you need to run:

poetry run mkdocs serve

Release

!!! info The backend and the frontend are versioned together, that is, they should have the same version number.

To release and publish a new version, follow these steps:

  1. Update the version in pyproject.toml, frontend/package.json and example/package.json.
  2. Re-install the local version of the Python project: poetry install
  3. In the project root, run poetry run python manage.py generate_openapi_schema --output frontend/openapi_schema.json to update the OpenAPI schema.
  4. Re-install the local version of the frontend project:
cd frontend
pnpm install
pnpm run build
  1. In the frontend directory, run pnpm run generate-client to update the TypeScript client with the new OpenAPI schema.
  2. Update the changelog in CHANGELOG.md.
  3. Open a PR with the changes.
  4. Once the PR is merged, run the Release GitHub Action to create a draft release.
  5. Review the draft release, ensure the description has at least the associated changelog entry, and publish it.
  6. Once the review is published, the Publish GitHub Action will automatically run to publish the new version to PyPI and npm. Check the logs to ensure the publication was successful.
