Workshop.codes

This is the repository for the Overwatch Workshop Website workshop.codes. Anyone is free to contribute or submit issues or requests regarding the website.

This website uses Ruby on Rails 6.0 and Elasticsearch. It's hosted on Heroku, using Bonsai for Elasticsearch.

The HTML and SCSS are structured according to BEM. JS does not follow any direct guidelines. Functions should be concise and limited. Files should be separated by their intent. No frameworks or libraries are used. Images should be losslessly compressed. SVG and WebP should be used wherever possible.

Setup

• DIGITALOCEAN_SPACES_SECRET - DigitalOcean Spaces Secret for image upload

• BONSAI_URL - Used for ElasticSearch. When running ElasticSearch on your dev environment this can be any random string and it will assume you have ElasticSearch running.

Rake tasks

There are several rake tasks you can use to make development a little closer to production.

• rake compress_impressions generates user and post analytics. Click around the website before hand to generate impressions and events.
• rake hotness:set_hotness_for_posts sets the hotness or "On Fire" score for posts. This is based on impressions, events and favorites. To get useful data out of this, use the website at random before running this task.
• rake generate_wiki_articles to populate the Wiki with Workshop documentation\
• rake create_search_indexes to create indexes for ElasticSearch

Debugging

VSCode

There are 3 main launch tasks: Rails Server, Vite Dev Server, and Chrome. You can run all of them via the compound task "All".

• The Ruby tasks require the VSCode rdbg Ruby Debugger extension, which requires you to install the debug gem like so:

  gem install debug

  • If you only care about debugging client code, you can run the task commands on separate terminals instead.

• The Chrome task is set up to work with Source Maps, so setting breakpoints through VSCode should work.
