# Contributing to Super Graph
Super Graph is a very approchable code-base and a project that is easy for almost
anyone with basic GO knowledge to start contributing to. It is also a young project
so a lot of high value work is there for the taking.
Even the GraphQL to SQL compiler that is at the heart of Super Graph is essentially a text book compiler with clean and easy to read code. The data structures used by the lexer, parser and sql generator are easy to understand and modify.
Finally we do have a lot of test for critical parts of the codebase which makes it easy for you to modify with confidence. I'm always available for questions or any sort of guidance so feel fee to reach out over twitter or discord.

## Getting Started {#get-started}
- Read the [Getting Started Guide](https://supergraph.dev/guide.html#get-started)
## Setting Up the Development Environment {#get-setup}
### Prerequisites
- Install [Git](https://git-scm.com/) (may be already installed on your system, or available through your OS package manager)
- Install [Go 1.13 or above](https://golang.org/doc/install)
- Install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/v17.09/engine/installation/)
### Get the Super Graph source {#get-source}
The entire build flow uses `Makefile` there is a whole list of sub-commands you
can use to build, test, install, lint, etc.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/dosco/super-graph
cd ./super-graph
make help
```
### Start the development envoirnment {#start-dev}
The entire development flow is packaged into a `docker-compose` work flow. The below `up` command will launch A Postgres database, a example e-commerce app in Rails and Super Graph in development mode. The `db:seed` Rails task will insert sample data into Postgres.
```bash
docker-compose -f demo.yml run rails_app rake db:create db:migrate db:seed
docker-compose up
```
### Testing and Linting {#testing}
```
make lint test
```
## Contributing
- **Pull requests are welcome**, as long as you're willing to put in the effort to meet the guidelines.
- Aim for clear, well written, maintainable code.
- Simple and minimal approach to features, like Go.
- Refactoring existing code now for better performance, better readability or better testability wins over adding a new feature.
- Don't add a function to a module that you don't use right now, or doesn't clearly enable a planned functionality.
- Don't ship a half done feature, which would require significant alterations to work fully.
- Avoid [Technical debt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_debt) like cancer.
- Leave the code cleaner than when you began.
### Code style
- We're following [Go Code Review](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments).
- Use `go fmt` to format your code before committing.
- If you see *any code* which clearly violates the style guide, please fix it and send a pull request. No need to ask for permission.
- Avoid unnecessary vertical spaces. Use your judgment or follow the code review comments.
- Wrap your code and comments to 100 characters, unless doing so makes the code less legible.

## What is Super Graph
Super Graph is a micro-service that instantly and without code gives you a high performance and secure GraphQL API. Your GraphQL queries are auto translated into a single fast SQL query. No more writing API code as you develop your web frontend just make the query you need and Super Graph will do the rest.
Super Graph has a rich feature set like integrating with your existing Ruby on Rails apps, joining your DB with data from remote APIs, Role and Attribute based access control, Supoport for JWT tokens, Built-in DB mutations and seeding and a lot more.

## The story of Super Graph?
After working on several products through my career I find that we spend way too much time on building API backends. Most APIs also require constant updating, this costs real time and money.
