### Credits 🏆
### Dependencies 🔗
This app definitely wouldn't have been quite so possible without the making use of the following package and components. Full credit and big kudos to their respective authors, who've done an amazing job in building and maintaining them.
#### Core
##### Core
At it's core, the application uses [Vue.js](https://github.com/vuejs/vue), as well as it's services. Styling is done with [SCSS](https://github.com/sass/sass), JavaScript is currently [Babel](https://github.com/babel/babel), (but I am in the process of converting to [TypeScript](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript)), linting is done with [ESLint](https://github.com/eslint/eslint), the config is defined in [YAML](https://github.com/yaml/yaml), and there is a simple [Node.js](https://github.com/nodejs/node) server to serve up the static app.

#### Backup & Sync Server
##### Backup & Sync Server
Although the app is purely frontend, there is an optional cloud backup and restore feature. This is built as a serverless function on [Cloudflare workers](https://workers.cloudflare.com/) using [KV](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/kv) and [web crypto](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/web-crypto)

First off, thank you for considering contributing to Dashy! There are two main ways you can help out: [Submitting a Pull Request](#submitting-a-pr) or [Raising an Issue](#raising-an-issue).
### Submitting a PR
Pull requests are proposed code changes, that can then be directly merged into Dashy's master branch and deployed to users. Even a small PR would be a big help.
Not sure what to work on? Here are some ideas:
- Fix a bug, or solve an open issue
- Improve the docs
- Add a new theme
- Implement a new widget
- Add more display options
- Refactor or improve an area of the code
- Implement a new feature, or improve an existing one
Before you submit your pull request, please ensure the following:
- Must be backwards compatible
- All lint checks and tests must pass
- If a new option in the the config file is added, it needs to be added into the schema, and documented in the configuring guide
- If a new dependency is required, it must be essential, and it must be thoroughly checked out for security or efficiency issues
Please also include the following information in your PR:
- PR type (bug fix, feature, code style updates, documentation, etc)
- Issue number (if applicable)
- A brief description of your changes
- A note confirming that your code follows the checklist (above)
#### Getting Started
To set up your development environment, and get Dashy running locally, please see: [Developing Docs](/docs/developing.md)
#### For new Contributors
If you have never created a pull request before, welcome :tada: :smile: [Here is a great tutorial](https://egghead.io/series/how-to-contribute-to-an-open-source-project-on-github)
on how to create a pull request..
1. [Fork](http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo/) the project, clone your fork,
and configure the remotes:
```bash
# Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<repo-name>
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory
cd <repo-name>
# Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
git remote add upstream https://github.com/hoodiehq/<repo-name>
```
2. If you cloned a while ago, get the latest changes from upstream:
```bash
git checkout master
git pull upstream master
```
3. Create a new topic branch (off the main project development branch) to
contain your feature, change, or fix:
```bash
git checkout -b <topic-branch-name>
```
4. Make sure to update, or add to the tests when appropriate. Patches and
features will not be accepted without tests. Run `yarn test` to check that
all tests pass after you've made changes.
5. If you added or changed a feature, make sure to document it accordingly in
the docs and if applicable, in the `README.md` file.
6. Push your topic branch up to your fork:
```bash
git push origin <topic-branch-name>
```
8. [Open a Pull Request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/)
with a clear title and description.
#### Testing the Production App
For larger pull requests, please also check that it works as expected in a production environment.
Testing production app in development environment:
- Natively
- Build: `yarn build`
- Run: `yarn start`
- With Docker:
- Build: `docker build -t dashy .`
- Run: `docker run -p 8080:80 dashy`
Please also ensure that running the following scripts return no errors:
- `yarn lint`
- `yarn test`
- `yarn validate-config`
A good resource for testing the Docker image on a totally fresh system, is by using [Play with Docker](https://labs.play-with-docker.com/). This will let you clone or pull your image, and spin up a container. This is useful for checking that everything behaves as it should on an independent system, and should get around the _'works on my computer'_ issue.
#### Merging a PR
Only maintainers can merge a PR. A pull request can only be merged if:
- All CI checks are passing
- It has been approved by either the author, or at least two maintainers
- It has no requested changes
- It is up to date with current master

## User Guide
### Searching
A key requirement for any start page is being able to quickly and effectively find the item your looking for. For Dashy, a lot of thought was put into the most intuitive method to filter links.
To start searching, simply start typing. Your search term will show up in the filter field in the upper-left section, and results will be filtered accordingly.
The following properties are used to filter items by:
- Title / Item name
- Provider - The optional field, indicating the provider of a given app or service
- URL - Only the base URL is searched, the protocol and parameters are omitted
- Description
### Keyboard Shortcuts
Many people find using the keyboard significantly more efficient than having to reach for the mouse. And so Dashy has a series of keybindings and shortcuts to enable you to navigate through items quickly.
Once you've searched for a given item, you can then tab through the list (or Shift + Tab to go backwards) until you've found the item you're looking for. You can also use the arrow keys to navigate up, down, left and right through the grid. To launch an item, just hit enter. You can also open an item in a new tab with Ctrl + Enter, or open the item in a pop-up modal with Alt + Enter. To close an open popup item, or any open menus, just hit Esc.
### Theme Switching
You can change the current theme using the dropdown menu in the upper-right-hand quadrant. Your selected theme will be stored in local storage, and applied next time you load the page. For more information on customizing the look and feel of Dashy, see [Themeing Docs](/docs/theming.md)
### Visual Options
There are several pre-built layout options to choose from depending on your requirements. Like the theme these options will be remembered in browser storage and applied on load.
The first is Layout. This determines how sections are organised on the screen. This can be set to either grid (auto), horizontal or vertical. Vertical layout will cause each section to take up the full width of the screen, and minimum height. Horizontal is the opposite, where every section is on the same row, and spans the full height of the screen.
Next there's icon size. This changes the size of the item and it's icon. It can be useful to use a smaller size when there are a lot of items, or a larger size if you commonly access Dashy from a touch screen tablet.
![layout-options](https://i.ibb.co/NnzF82t/available-layout-options.png)
### Opening Items
There are three methods of opening items. Clicking (or hitting Enter on a selected item) will use the default method, specified in the config file, under `item.target`. You can use Ctrl + Click or Ctrl + Enter to open and item in a new tab.
You can also use Alt + Click or Alt + Enter, to open an item in a popup window. You can use drag the tab in the bottom-right corner of the pop-up to resize it. To close an item opened in a pop-up, click the close button, use the Esc key, or click anywhere outside the popup.
![Example of a pop-up opened item](https://i.ibb.co/zSnznFF/dashy-popup.png)
### Sections and Items
The main content in Dashy is split into sections, which contain icons. You can have as many sections as you need, and each section can have an unlimited amount of icons. Visually, the grid layout works better when sections have a similar number of icons.
Sections are collapsible, which is useful for those sections which contain less used applications, or are particularly long. The collapse state of a given section is remembered (stored in local storage), and applied on load.
Sections also have several optional properties, which are specified under `section.displayData`, and let you set certain display settings. A full list of options can be found in the [configuring docs](/docs/configuring.md).

### Icons
Both sections and items can have an icon associated with them. There are several options for specifying icons. You can let the icon be automatically resolved and fetched from the items associated URL, by just setting the icon to `favicon`. You can use a font-awesome icon, by specifying it's name and category. Or you can pass in a URL, either to a locally hosted or remote image. For local images, you can put them in `./public/item-icons/` and then reference them just by the file name.
### Metadata
Basic site information, displayed in the header and footer can be set from the UI. This includes: title, sub-title, footer text, and nav-bar links. Click the wrench icon in the upper-right corner, then go to the Site Metadata tab. Fill in your new data, and hit save. The page will be refreshed, and your changes will appear. These settings are stored under `pageInfo` in the config, and if set through the UI, will only be applied locally.
### Editing Config
The config file can be edited from the UI, but take note that changes are only applied locally. You will need to either export this data into your conf.yml, or use the cloud backup and sync feature.
To make changes to the config file, click the wrench icon in the upper-left hand corner. Then go to the Config tab. Here you'll find a JSON editor. You can switch from tree mode to plain-text mode if you find that easier. And parsing or validation issues will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
### Managing Config Data
You can download, backup or reset local config data directly from the UI. To apply config to Dashy on other devices, you will need to either download the config file, or use the cloud backup and sync feature. To download config, click the Wrench icon, in the upper-right hand corner, and then go to Download. Similarly, for cloud backup, click the Cloud icon in the upper right corner, and fill in the required fields. For detailed instructions, and technical information about backup and sync, please see the [Cloud Backup Documentation](/docs/backup-restore.md). You can also Reset all local settings from the config menu. This will not effect any data saved in your systems `conf.yml` file.
