Thanks for taking the time to contribute! 🎉👍 The project uses Flask and requires Python3.7+. ## Quick start If you have Docker installed, run the following command to start SimpleLogin local server: ```bash docker run --name sl -it --rm \ -e RESET_DB=true \ -e CONFIG=/code/example.env \ -p 7777:7777 \ simplelogin/app:3.3.0 python server.py ``` Then open http://localhost:7777, you should be able to login with `john@wick.com/password` account. ## General Architecture

SimpleLogin backend consists of 2 main components: - the `webapp` used by several clients: web UI (the dashboard), browser extension (Chrome & Firefox for now), OAuth clients (apps that integrate "Login with SimpleLogin" button) and mobile app (work in progress). - the `email handler`: implements the email forwarding (i.e. alias receiving email) and email sending (i.e. alias sending email). ## Run code locally The project uses - Python 3.7+ and [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) to manage dependencies - Node v10 for front-end. First, install all dependencies by running the following command. Feel free to use `virtualenv` or similar tools to isolate development environment. ```bash poetry install ``` On Mac, sometimes you might need to install some other packages like ```bash brew install pkg-config libffi openssl postgresql ``` You also need to install `gpg`, on Mac it can be done with: ```bash brew install gnupg ``` Then make sure all tests pass ```bash pytest ``` Install npm packages ```bash cd static && npm install ``` To run the code locally, please create a local setting file based on `example.env`: ``` cp example.env .env ``` To run the server: ``` python3 server.py ``` then open http://localhost:7777, you should be able to login with the following account ``` john@wick.com / password ``` You might need to change the `.env` file for developing certain features. This file is ignored by git. ## Database migration The database migration is handled by `alembic` Whenever the model changes, a new migration has to be created. If you have Docker installed, you can create the migration by the following script: ```bash sh new_migration.sh ``` Make sure to review the migration script before committing it. Sometimes (very rarely though), the automatically generated script can be incorrect. We cannot use the local database to generate migration script as the local database doesn't use migration. It is created via `db.create_all()` (cf `fake_data()` method). This is convenient for development and unit tests as we don't have to wait for the migration. ## Code structure The repo consists of the three following entry points: - wsgi.py and server.py: the webapp. - email_handler.py: the email handler. - cron.py: the cronjob. Here are the small sum-ups of the directory structures and their roles: - app/: main Flask app. It is structured into different packages representing different features like oauth, api, dashboard, etc. - local_data/: contains files to facilitate the local development. They are replaced during the deployment. - migrations/: generated by flask-migrate. Edit these files will be only edited when you spot (very rare) errors on the database migration files. - static/: files available at `/static` url. - templates/: contains both html and email templates. - tests/: tests. We don't really distinguish unit, functional or integration test. A test is simply here to make sure a feature works correctly. ## Pull request Please contact us if you want to work on a new feature. The code is formatted using https://github.com/psf/black, to format the code, simply run ``` poetry run black . ``` The code is also checked with `flake8`, make sure to run `flake8` before creating the pull request by ```bash poetry run flake8 ``` ## Test sending email [swaks](http://www.jetmore.org/john/code/swaks/) is used for sending test emails to the `email_handler`. [mailcatcher](https://github.com/sj26/mailcatcher) or [MailHog](https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog) can be used as a MTA to receive emails. Here's how set up the email handler: 1) run mailcatcher or MailHog ```bash mailcatcher ``` 2) Make sure to set the following variables in the `.env` file ``` # comment out this variable # NOT_SEND_EMAIL=true # So the emails will be sent to mailcatcher/MailHog POSTFIX_SERVER=localhost POSTFIX_PORT=1025 ``` 3) Run email_handler ```bash python email_handler.py ``` 4) Send a test email ```bash swaks --to e1@sl.local --from hey@google.com --server 127.0.0.1:20381 ``` Now open http://localhost:1080/ (or http://localhost:1080/ for MailHog), you should see the forwarded email.
