## Translate CommaFeed into your language

Files for internationalization are located [here](https://github.com/Athou/commafeed/tree/master/src/main/app/i18n).
Files for internationalization are located [here](https://github.com/Athou/commafeed/tree/master/commafeed-client/src/locales).

To add a new language, create a new file in that directory.
The name of the file should be the two-letters [ISO-639-1 language code](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes).
The language has to be referenced in the `src/main/app/js/i18n.js` file to be picked up.
To add a new language:

## Themes
- edit `commafeed-client/src/i18n.ts` and
- add the new locale to the `locales` array.
- import the dayjs locale
- edit `commafeed-client/.linguirc` and add the new locale to the `locales` array.

To create a theme, create a new file `src/main/app/sass/themes/_<theme>.scss`. Your styles should be wrapped in a `#theme-<theme>` element and use the [SCSS format](http://sass-lang.com/) which is a superset of CSS.
The name of the locale should be the two-letters [ISO-639-1 language code](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes).

Don't forget to reference your theme in `src/main/app/sass/app.scss` and in `src/main/app/js/controllers.js` (look for `$scope.themes`).
## Local development

See [\_test.scss](https://github.com/Athou/commafeed/blob/master/src/main/app/sass/themes/_test.scss) for an example.
- `git clone https://github.com/Athou/CommaFeed`

## Local development
### Backend

- Open `commafeed-server` in your preferred Java IDE.
- CommaFeed uses Lombok, you need the Lombok plugin for your IDE.
- If using Eclipse, Go to Window → Preferences → Maven → Annotation Processing and check "Automatically configure JDT APT"
- Start `CommaFeedApplication.java` in debug mode with `server config.dev.yml` as arguments

### Frontend

Steps to configuring a development environment for CommaFeed may include, but may not be limited to:

1. `git clone https://github.com/Athou/CommaFeed` into some folder to get the project files.
2. Install Eclipse Luna (or latest) from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/lunasr1 or your repo if available.
3. In Eclipse, Window → Preferences → Maven → Annotation Processing. Check "Automatically configure JDT APT"
- You may have to install the m2e-apt connector to have "Annotation Processing" as an option. Do so from Window → Preferences → Maven → Discovery → Open Catalog → type "m2e-apt" in the search box
- If you have installed Eclipse EE instead of Luna, you may have trouble installing m2e-apt
4. Install Lombok into Eclipse from http://projectlombok.org/download.html
- You may have to run `java -jar lombok.jar` as an administrator if your eclipse installation is not in your home folder
5. In Eclipse, File → Import → Maven → Existing Maven Projects. Navigate to where you cloned the CommaFeed files into, and select that as the root directory. Click Finish.
- You may notice some errors along the lines of "Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration". These are inconsequential.
6. Find the file "CommaFeedApplication.java" under the navigation pane.
7. Right click it to bring up the context menu → Debug as... → Debug Configurations
8. Type `server config.dev.yml` under "Program arguments" in the "Arguments" tab for the Java Application setting "CommaFeedApplication"
9. Apply and hit "Debug"
10. The debugger is now working. To connect to it, open a terminal (or command prompt) and navigate to the directory where you cloned the CommaFeed files.
11. Issue the command `gulp dev` on Unix based systems or `gulp.cmd dev` in Windows.
12. The development server is now running at http://localhost:8082 and is proxying REST requests to dropwizard on port 8083.
13. Connect to the server from your browser; you should have functional breakpoints and watches on assets.
14. When you're done developing, create a fork at the top of https://github.com/Athou/CommaFeed page and commit your changes to it.
15. If you'd like to contribute to CommaFeed, create a pull request from your repository to https://github.com/Athou/CommaFeed when your changes are ready. There's a button to do so at the top of https://github.com/Athou/CommaFeed.
- Open `commafeed-client` in your preferred JavaScript IDE.
- run `npm install`
- run `npm run dev`
- the frontend server is now running at http://localhost:8082 and is proxying REST requests to the backend running on port 8083
