This was my first time contributing to an open source project and I struggled quite a bit but Abdur-Rahmaan and shams are responsive , helpful, and welcoming!! I was able to make a small contribution despite having little experience using Flask. Whenever I had questions, they were answered well on discord. I recommend working with Abdur-Rahmaan and shams! If you're nervous about contributing, they make the experience much less intimidating than I had anticipated. --@taanguyen

I'd like to thank @Abdur-rahmaanJ for creating this project! Though I have limited experience working with Flask, and was unable to understand the code and its functioning at first, Abdur-rahmaanJ explained everything very patiently and helped me clear all the doubts! I was able to learn new concepts and it was an amazing experience overall. I'd recommend opensource newbies like me and even experienced contributors to make contributions to this project. 💯 --@geeythree

Shopcube has two modes:

• package mode if you want to just use the app as is
• control mode if you want to see exactly what's going on

Package mode has several commands to manage the json settings file

$ shopcube showjson # show settings
$ shopcube copyjson # copy json file from site-packages in current directory
$ shopcube applyjson # apply json file in current directory
$ shopcube restorejson # restore original json file in site-packages
$ shopcube create # create new project named shopcube in current directory
$ shopcube packageinfo # path of project

Control mode allows you to use Shopyo commands as you would in any project

$ shopcube create
$ ls shopcube/

Make sure you have setup the repo as explained in First time setup before making Pull Request (PR)

• Create a branch for the issue you would like to work on:

  $ git fetch origin
  $ git checkout -b <your-branch-name> origin/dev
  

  Note

  As a sanity check, you can run git branch to see the current branch you are on in case your terminal is not setup to show the current branch.

• Using your favorite editor, make your changes, committing as you go.

  $ git add <filenames to commit>
  $ git commit -m "<put commit message here>"
  

• Push your commits to your fork on GitHub. The -u option allows your local branch to be pushed to your GitHub repo.

  $ git push -u origin your-branch-name
  

• Create a pull request. You should see the PR link in the terminal after you successfully push your commits. Link to the issue being addressed with fixes #123 in the pull request. See example PR.

If you need further assistance, ping @contributor on discord.

• When I initialise the app, I get an error related to MySQL (ie: a Connection Error)

  In config.py, make sure you have a database URI

  SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = "mysql+pymysql://{username}:{password}@{server_name}/{db_name}".format(
      username='shopcube',
      password='pass1234-A',
      server_name='localhost',
      db_name='shopcube'
  )
  

  or paste the following into config.py inside of the class DevelopmentConfig(Config):

  SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'sqlite:///' + os.path.join(base_path, 'app.db')
  

• I launched the app but nothing shows up in /dashboard.

  • Log in as [email protected] with the password 'pass'

• Additional development insights?

  • Read the shopyo docs!
