Install development helpers:
cargo install cargo-watch
rustup component add rustfmt-preview
Set environment variables:
# Only required when testing the Diesel/Postgres store
export THEGRAPH_STORE_POSTGRES_DIESEL_URL=<Postgres database URL>
While developing, a useful command to run in the background is this:
cargo watch \
-x "fmt --all" \
-x check \
-x "test -- --test-threads=1" \
-x "doc --no-deps"
This will watch your source directory and continuously do the following on changes:
- Build all packages in the workspace
target/
. - Generate docs for all packages in the workspace in
target/doc/
. - Automatically format all your source files.
The tests can (and should) be run against a sharded store. The tests will
read their configuration from the file that the
environment variable GRAPH_NODE_TEST_CONFIG
points to.
We use the following format for commit messages:
{crate-name}: {Brief description of changes}
, for example: store: Support 'Or' filters
.
If multiple crates are being changed list them all like this: core, graphql, mock, runtime, postgres-diesel: Add event source to store
