ossapp is the graphical app complement to pkgx.

Under the hood ossapp installs and manages your packages with pkgx
while exposing additional functionality, features and informational touches
that complement and expand upon the nature of package management.

To install ossapp, visit: https://pkgx.app and download the latest
version. ossapp auto-updates itself.

Anatomy

ossapp is a Svelte Electron app. The electron “backend” can be found in
electron/, the Svelte “frontend” is in svelte/.

The following technologies are used:

• svelte
• tailwind
• fontastic
• electron

Hacking on ossapp

xc setup  # only required once
xc build  # only required if you modify the backend
xc dev    # opens the app in dev mode

Make sure to run xc prettier before submitting pull-requests.

i18n (Translating ossapp)

We’d love your help in translating the gui into different languages.
The translation related source code are all in ./svelte/src/libs/translations/*.

To add a new language:

1. Create a json file in ./svelte/src/libs/translations/languages/[lang].json.
   Copy the contents of en.json then translate.
2. Import the new language in ./svelte/src/libs/translations/index.ts.
   More instructions are in that file.

Tasks

The following can be run with xc, eg. xc build.

Setup

Setup ensures that required configuration placeholder files are present and
installs dependencies.

if [ ! -e electron/config.json ]; then
  echo '{}' > electron/config.json
fi

if [ ! -e modules/desktop/.env ]; then
  cp .env.example .env
fi

npm install
npx electron-rebuild
npm run prepare

Build

npm install
npm run package

Build:lite

Builds only a .app that is not codesigned or notarized. Ideal for local testing.

export CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVER=false
export MAC_BUILD_TARGET=dir
export NOTARIZE=false
npm install
npm run package

Dev

npm run dev

Prettier

npm run format

Dist

npm install
npm run predist
npm run dist

Check

Runs the typescript compiler and linter.

npm run check
npm run lint

e2e

Runs the webdriver.io end to end tests. Assumes that xc build has already been
executed.

npm run e2e

Bump

Inputs: PRIORITY

if ! git diff-index --quiet HEAD --; then
  echo "error: dirty working tree" >&2
  exit 1
fi

if [ "$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)" != "main" ]; then
  echo "error: requires main branch" >&2
  exit 1
fi

V=$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")
V=$(pkgx semverator bump $V $PRIORITY)

if ! grep -F "\"version\": \"$V\",$" package.json; then
  sed -i.bak -e "s/\"version\": .*,$/\"version\": \"$V\",/" package.json
  rm package.json.bak
  git add package.json
  git commit -m "bump $V" --gpg-sign
fi

git push origin main

Release

V="$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")"
pkgx gh release create "v$V"
