Cozy Notes

What's Cozy Notes?

Note manager for Cozy Cloud

Hack

📌 Note: we recommend to use Yarn instead of NPM for package management. Don't hesitate to install and use it for your Cozy projects, it's now our main node packages tool for Cozy official apps.

Install

Hacking the Cozy cozy-notes app requires you to setup a dev environment.

You can then clone the app repository and install dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/cozy/cozy-notes.git
$ cd cozy-notes
$ yarn install

📌 If you use a node environment wrapper like nvm or ndenv, don't forget to set your local node version to >= 12 before doing a yarn install.

Cozy's apps use a standard set of npm scripts to run common tasks, like watch, lint, test, build…

Run it inside the VM

First, you need to install docker and our cozy-app-dev image. See how to in our install the development environment documentation

Then, you need to build at least once the Notes app before running the docker image:

$ yarn start

Then, in an other process, you can run the docker image:

$ yarn stack:docker:dev

Your app is now available at http://app.cozy.localhost:8080.

Password is cozy by default.

This command uses the cozy-stack docker image.

By launching this stack:docker:dev command, you disable our Content Security Policy (CSP) (which are very restrictive by default) to have access to the HMR. Don't forget to test your builded application (not watched) using stack:docker:prod to activate them.

Living on the edge

Cozy-ui is our frontend stack library that provides common styles and components accross the whole Cozy's apps. You can use it for you own application to follow the official Cozy's guidelines and styles. If you need to develop / hack cozy-ui, it's sometimes more useful to develop on it through another app. You can do it by cloning cozy-ui locally and link it to yarn local index:

git clone https://github.com/cozy/cozy-ui.git
cd cozy-ui
yarn install
yarn link

then go back to your app project and replace the distributed cozy-ui module with the linked one:

cd cozy-drive
yarn link cozy-ui

Cozy-client is our API library that provides an unified API on top of the cozy-stack. If you need to develop / hack cozy-client in parallel of your application, you can use the same trick that we used with cozy-ui: yarn linking.

Tests

Tests are run by jest under the hood. You can easily run the tests suite with:

$ cd cozy-notes
$ yarn test

📌 Don't forget to update / create new tests when you contribute to code to keep the app the consistent.

Models

The Cozy datastore stores documents, which can be seen as JSON objects. A doctype is simply a declaration of the fields in a given JSON object, to store similar objects in an homogeneous fashion.

Cozy ships a built-in list of doctypes for representation of most of the common documents (Bills, Contacts, Files, ...).

Whenever your app needs to use a given doctype, you should:

Check if this is a standard doctype defined in Cozy itself. If this is the case, you should add a model declaration in your app containing at least the fields listed in the main fields list for this doctype. Note that you can extend the Cozy-provided doctype with your own customs fields. This is typically what is done in Konnectors for the Bill doctype.
If no standards doctypes fit your needs, you should define your own doctype in your app. In this case, you do not have to put any field you want in your model, but you should crosscheck other cozy apps to try to homogeneize the names of your fields, so that your doctype data could be reused by other apps. This is typically the case for the Konnector doctype in Konnectors.

We use Atlassian Atlaskit under the hood to provide a note editor. See documentation here

Community

What's Cozy?

Cozy is a platform that brings all your web services in the same private space. With it, your webapps and your devices can share data easily, providing you with a new experience. You can install Cozy on your own hardware where no one's tracking you.

Localization

Localization and translations are handled by Transifex, which is used by all Cozy's apps.

As a translator, you can login to Transifex (using your Github account) and claim an access to the app repository. Locales are pulled when app is build before publishing.

As a developer, you just have to modify json in /src/locales. New locales will be automatically added to Transifex. If you need to pull or push manually locales, you can use Transifex CLI. If you were using a transifex-client, you must move to Transifex CLI to be compatible with the v3 API.
