Contributing to the App

The project is packaged with a light development environment based on docker-compose to help with the local development of the project and to run tests.

The project is following Network to Code software development guidelines and is leveraging the following:

• Python linting and formatting: black, pylint, bandit, flake8, and pydocstyle.
• YAML linting is done with yamllint.
• Django unit test to ensure the plugin is working properly.

Documentation is built using mkdocs. The Docker based development environment automatically starts a container hosting a live version of the documentation website on http://localhost:8001 that auto-refreshes when you make any changes to your local files.
