## Getting Started

TBD

## Development Setup

### Prerequisites

- **Node.js**: 20.x or higher
- **pnpm**

### Installation

1. Fork and clone the repository:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/server.git
cd server
```

2. Install dependencies:

```bash
pnpm install
```

3. Build the project to verify setup:

```bash
pnpm build
```

## Development Workflow

### Building

Build the library for distribution:

```bash
pnpm build
```

Watch mode for development (rebuilds on file changes):

```bash
pnpm run dev
```

### Formatting

Format all code using Prettier:

```bash
pnpm format
```

## Submitting Changes

### Commit Messages

We use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) for automated releases. Format:

```text
<type>(<scope>): <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer]
```

**Types:**

- `feat`: New feature (triggers minor version bump)
- `fix`: Bug fix (triggers patch version bump)
- `docs`: Documentation changes only
- `test`: Adding or updating tests
- `chore`: Maintenance tasks, dependency updates
- `refactor`: Code changes that neither fix bugs nor add features
- `perf`: Performance improvements
- `ci`: CI/CD configuration changes

**Breaking changes:**

- Use `feat!:` or `fix!:` for breaking changes (triggers major version bump)
- Or include `BREAKING CHANGE:` in the commit footer

**Examples:**

```bash
feat: add support for view operations
fix: handle empty namespace list correctly
docs: update README with new examples
test: add integration tests for table updates
feat!: change auth config structure

BREAKING CHANGE: auth configuration now uses a discriminated union
```

### Pull Request Process

1. **Create a branch** from `main`:

   ```bash
   git checkout -b feat/my-feature
   ```

2. **Make your changes** following the guidelines above

3. **Commit** using conventional commit format:

   ```bash
   git commit -m "feat: add support for XYZ"
   ```

4. **Push** to your fork:

   ```bash
   git push origin feat/my-feature
   ```

5. **Open a Pull Request** with:
   - Clear title following conventional commit format
   - Description of what changed and why
   - Reference any related issues (e.g., "Fixes #123")
   - Screenshots/examples if adding user-facing features

6. **Respond to feedback** - maintainers may request changes

### PR Guidelines

- Keep PRs focused - one feature or fix per PR
- Update documentation if you change public APIs
- Add tests for new functionality
- Ensure all CI checks pass
- Rebase on `main` if needed to resolve conflicts
- Be responsive to review feedback

## Release Process

This project uses [release-please](https://github.com/googleapis/release-please) for automated releases. You don't need to manually manage versions or changelogs.

### How It Works

1. **You commit** using conventional commit format (see above)

2. **release-please creates/updates a release PR** automatically when changes are pushed to `main`
   - Updates version in `package.json`
   - Updates `CHANGELOG.md`
   - Generates release notes

3. **Maintainer merges the release PR** when ready to release
   - Creates a GitHub release and git tag
   - Automatically publishes to npm with provenance

### Version Bumps

Versions follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/):

- **Major (1.0.0 → 2.0.0)**: Breaking changes (`feat!:`, `fix!:`, or `BREAKING CHANGE:`)
- **Minor (1.0.0 → 1.1.0)**: New features (`feat:`)
- **Patch (1.0.0 → 1.0.1)**: Bug fixes (`fix:`)

Commits with types like `docs:`, `test:`, `chore:` don't trigger releases on their own.

### For Maintainers Only

Publishing is fully automated via GitHub Actions:

1. Merge the release-please PR when ready
2. GitHub Actions will automatically publish to npm with provenance
3. No manual `npm publish` needed

## Questions?

- Open an [issue](https://github.com/supabase/server/issues) for bugs or feature requests
- Check existing issues and PRs before creating new ones
- Tag your issues appropriately (`bug`, `enhancement`, `documentation`, etc.)
