# Development Setup

## Setting up development environment

### Toolchain

You'll have to install before you can start writing code.

1. Install Rust:
   Install Cargo(Rust toolchain) using [rustup](https://rustup.rs/) with:

```
$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
```

2. Install Node:
   Please refer to [official instructions](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)

3. Install yarn:
   `npm install -g yarn`
   For more details, refer to [official
   instructions](https://yarnpkg.com/getting-started/install)

4. GNU Make:
   If you are on Linux, it's probably already installed on your machine.

You can check it's existence by running:

```bash
$ make --version
```

If it's not available, you download it with your package manager or
refer to [official instructions](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/)

### External Dependencies:

### Postgres databse:

The backend requires a Postgres database. We have
compiletime SQL checks so without a database available, you won't be
able to build the project.

I use Postgres in Docker.

1. To install Docker, please refer to [official
   instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/].

2. Create create database user:

```bash
$ docker create --name mcaptcha-postgres \
	-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password \
	-p 5432:5432    postgres
```

3. Start database container:

```bash
$ docker start mcaptcha-postgres
```

4. Set configurations:

```bash
$ cd guard # your copy of https://github.com/mCaptcha/guard
$ echo 'export DATABASE_URL="postgres://postgres:password@localhost:5432/postgres"' > .env
```

**NOTE: Don't use this database for other projects**

5. Run migrations:
   This step is only required when migrations are updated. The server
   binary has inbuilt migrations manager but that can only be used after
   the server is compiled. Since we are trying to compile the server here,
   we can't use that.

However, this project ships with a utility to run migrations!

```bash
$ cd guard # your copy of https://github.com/mCaptcha/guard
$ cargo run --bin tests-migrate
```

That's it, you are all set!

## Build commands:

### Compile:

```bash
$ cd guard # your copy of https://github.com/mCaptcha/guard
$ make
```
