All UI elements are reusable `.tsx` components. +- The main page and routing are in `ui/src/index.tsx`. +- The components are located in `ui/src/components`. + +### Back end + +- The back end is written in `rust`, using `diesel`, and `actix`. +- The server source code is split into main sections in `server/src`. These include: + - `db` - The low level database actions. + - Database additions are done using diesel migrations. Run `diesel migration generate xxxxx` to add new things. + - `api` - The high level user interactions (things like `CreateComment`) + - `routes` - The server endpoints . + - `apub` - The activitypub conversions. + - `websocket` - Creates the websocket server. + +## Linting / Formatting + +- Every front and back end commit is automatically formatted then linted using `husky`, and `lint-staged`. +- Rust with `cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy`. +- Typescript with `prettier` and `eslint`. |
