## 🛠️ Development

### Prerequisites

- Node.js >= 18 (for local development)
- pnpm >= 10.7.0 (for local development)
- Docker & Docker Compose (for containerized deployment)

### Getting Started

```bash
# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Start development server
pnpm dev

# Open the site in your browser using the BASE_URL from lib/urls.ts
```

## 🐳 Docker Deployment

### Quick Start with Docker Compose

```bash
# Build and start the application
docker-compose up -d

# View logs
docker-compose logs -f

# Stop the application
docker-compose down
```

### Manual Docker Build

```bash
# Build the Docker image
docker build -t findoora-docs .

# Run the container
docker run -d \
  --name findoora-docs \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e NODE_ENV=production \
  findoora-docs

# View logs
docker logs -f findoora-docs

# Stop and remove container
docker stop findoora-docs
docker rm findoora-docs
```

### Production Deployment

For production environments, consider:

1. **Environment Variables**: Set appropriate environment variables
2. **Reverse Proxy**: Use nginx or similar for SSL termination
3. **Health Checks**: Monitor `/api/health` endpoint
4. **Resource Limits**: Set memory and CPU limits
5. **Logging**: Configure proper log aggregation

```bash
# Production deployment with resource limits
docker run -d \
  --name findoora-docs-prod \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e NODE_ENV=production \
  -e NEXT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1 \
  --memory=512m \
  --cpus=1 \
  --restart=unless-stopped \
  findoora-docs
```

### Docker Compose with Nginx (Production)

```yaml
# docker-compose.prod.yml
version: "3.8"
services:
  docs:
    build: .
    environment:
      - NODE_ENV=production

export const SITE_NAME = "Your Docs Site";
export const SITE_SUB_TITLE = "Documentation";
export const SITE_DESCRIPTION = "Your site description";
export const GITHUB_URL = "https://github.com/your-username/your-repo";
export const SITE_AUTHOR = "@your-handle";
// ... more configuration options
```

### **Styling & Theming**

The platform uses Tailwind CSS with CSS custom properties for theming:

```css
/* styles/theme.css */
:root {
  --background: 0 0% 100%;
  --foreground: 222.2 84% 4.9%;
  --primary: 222.2 47.4% 11.2%;
  /* ... more theme variables */
}

[data-theme="dark"] {
  --background: 222.2 84% 4.9%;
  --foreground: 210 40% 98%;
  /* ... dark theme overrides */
}
```

## 📦 Deployment

## 🧪 Development

### **Available Scripts**

```bash
# Development
pnpm dev                 # Start development server with Turbopack
pnpm dev:debug          # Start with debugging enabled

# Building
pnpm build              # Production build
pnpm start              # Start production server
pnpm build:analyze      # Build with bundle analysis

# Code Quality
pnpm lint               # Run ESLint
pnpm lint:fix           # Fix linting issues
pnpm format             # Format code with Prettier
pnpm typecheck          # TypeScript type checking

# Testing
pnpm test               # Run tests
pnpm test:watch         # Run tests in watch mode
pnpm test:coverage      # Generate coverage report
```

### **Development Workflow**

1. **Start the development server**:

```bash
pnpm dev
```

2. **Add content** to `posts/` directory with `.mdx` extension

3. **Customize components** in the `components/` directory

4. **Update configuration** in `lib/config.ts`

5. **Test your changes** and ensure type safety:

```bash
pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint
```

### **Adding Custom Components**

Create reusable MDX components:

```typescript
// components/blocks/mdx/custom-component.tsx
interface CustomComponentProps {
  title: string;
  children: React.ReactNode;
}

export function CustomComponent({ title, children }: CustomComponentProps) {
  return (
    <div className="my-6 p-4 border rounded-lg">
      <h3 className="text-lg font-semibold mb-2">{title}</h3>
      <div className="prose">{children}</div>
    </div>
  );
}
```

Register it in `custom-mdx.tsx`:

```typescript
import { CustomComponent } from "./custom-component";

const components = {
  // ... existing components
  CustomComponent,
};
```

Use in MDX content:

```mdx
<CustomComponent title="Important Note">
  This is a custom component with **markdown** support!
</CustomComponent>
```

## 🤝 Contributing

We welcome contributions from the community! Here's how you can help:

### **Ways to Contribute**

- 🐛 **Bug Reports**: Found an issue? Let us know!
- 💡 **Feature Requests**: Have an idea? We'd love to hear it!
- 📖 **Documentation**: Help improve our docs
- 🎨 **Design**: UI/UX improvements and accessibility enhancements
- 🔧 **Code**: Bug fixes, new features, and optimizations

### **Development Setup**

1. **Fork the repository** on GitHub
2. **Clone your fork**:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-username/findoora-docs.git
cd findoora-docs
```

3. **Install dependencies**:

```bash
pnpm install
```

4. **Create a feature branch**:

```bash
git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
```

5. **Make your changes** and test thoroughly
6. **Submit a pull request** with a clear description

### **Contribution Guidelines**

- ✅ Follow the existing code style and conventions
- ✅ Write tests for new features and bug fixes
- ✅ Update documentation for any API changes
- ✅ Ensure all tests pass and there are no linting errors
- ✅ Keep commits focused and write clear commit messages

### **Open Source Standards: Git Hooks**

To maintain high code quality and consistency, Findoora Docs uses [Husky](https://typicode.github.io/husky/) and [lint-staged](https://github.com/okonet/lint-staged) for Git hooks:

- **Pre-commit**: Runs ESLint and Prettier on staged files to catch lint and formatting issues before committing.
- **Pre-push**: Runs type checking and tests to ensure code correctness before pushing to the repository.

**Configuration Example:**

```json
// package.json
{
  "lint-staged": {
    "*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}": ["eslint --fix", "prettier --write"],
    "*.{md,mdx}": ["prettier --write"]
  },
  "husky": {
    "hooks": {
      "pre-commit": "lint-staged",
      "pre-push": "pnpm typecheck && pnpm test"
    }
  }
}
```

**How it works:**

- On `git commit`, only properly formatted and linted code is committed.
- On `git push`, code must pass type checks and tests, preventing broken code from entering the repository.

> 💡 **Tip:** Install Husky after cloning with `pnpm dlx husky install` if not already set up.
