# 2.0 Development Notes
|
|
This document collects notes and decisions taken during the development of HedgeDoc 2.0.
|
|
It should be converted to a properly structured documentation, but having unstructured docs
|
|
is better than having no docs.
|
|
|
|
## Supported databases
|
|
We intend to officially support and test these databases:
|
|
- SQLite (for development and smaller instances)
|
|
- PostgreSQL
|
|
- MariaDB
|
|
|
|
## Special Groups
|
|
The software provides two special groups which have no explicit users:
|
|
- `everyone` (Describing that everyone who wants to access a note can do if it is enabled in the config.)
|
|
- `loggedIn` (Describing all users which are logged in)
|
|
|
|
## Deleting notes and revisions
|
|
- The owner of a note may delete it.
|
|
- By default, this also removes all revisions and all files that were uploaded to that note.
|
|
- The owner may choose to skip deleting associated uploads, leaving them without a note.
|
|
- The frontend should show a list of all uploads that will be affected
|
|
and provide a method of skipping deletion.
|
|
- The owner of a note may delete all revisions. This effectively purges the edit
|
|
history of a note.
|
|
|
|
## Dev Setup
|
|
- Clone backend and frontend in two folders.
|
|
- Run `yarn install` in both projects
|
|
- Start the backend server in watch mode using `yarn start:dev`. The backend is then accessible on port 3000.
|
|
- Start the frontend dev server using `yarn start`. The frontend is now accessible on port 3001.
|
|
|
|
## Entity `create` methods
|
|
|
|
Because we need to have empty constructors in our entity classes for TypeORM to work, the actual constructor is a separate `create` method. These methods should adhere to these guidelines:
|
|
|
|
- Only require the non-optional properties of the corresponding entity
|
|
- Have no optional parameters
|
|
- Have no lists which can be empty (so probably most of them)
|
|
- Should either return a complete and fully useable instance or return a Pick/Omit type.
|
|
- Exceptions to these rules are allowed, if they are mentioned in the method documentation
