| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This document describes the automated workflows configured for the Object UI repository. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Overview |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Our GitHub Actions workflows automate testing, security scanning, dependency management, and deployment processes. All workflows are located in `.github/workflows/`. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Workflows |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +### 1. CI (Continuous Integration) |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +**File**: `ci.yml` |
| 14 | +**Triggers**: Push to `main`/`develop`, Pull Requests |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +This is the main CI pipeline that ensures code quality. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +**Jobs**: |
| 19 | +- **Test**: Runs tests on Node.js 18.x and 20.x |
| 20 | + - Executes unit and integration tests |
| 21 | + - Generates coverage reports (Node 20.x only) |
| 22 | + - Uploads coverage to Codecov |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +- **Lint**: Checks code style and quality |
| 25 | + - Runs ESLint on all packages |
| 26 | + - Ensures code follows project standards |

| 206 | +```markdown |
| 207 | +[](https://github.com/objectstack-ai/objectui/actions/workflows/ci.yml) |
| 208 | +[](https://github.com/objectstack-ai/objectui/actions/workflows/codeql.yml) |
| 209 | +``` |
| 210 | + |
| 211 | +## Best Practices |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +### For Contributors |
| 214 | +1. **Run checks locally first**: Use `pnpm lint`, `pnpm test`, `pnpm build` |
| 215 | +2. **Keep PRs focused**: One feature or fix per PR |
| 216 | +3. **Watch workflow results**: Fix failures promptly |
| 217 | +4. **Update documentation**: For user-facing changes |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +### For Maintainers |
| 220 | +1. **Review auto-merge settings**: Verify Dependabot merges are safe |
| 221 | +2. **Monitor security alerts**: Act on CodeQL findings |
| 222 | +3. **Manage stale items**: Review before auto-closure |
| 223 | +4. **Keep workflows updated**: Regular dependency updates for actions |
| 224 | + |
| 225 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +### Common Issues |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +**Problem**: CI fails with "pnpm: command not found" |
| 230 | +- **Solution**: Ensure `pnpm/action-setup@v4` is configured correctly |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +**Problem**: Tests timeout |
| 233 | +- **Solution**: Increase timeout in workflow or optimize tests |
| 234 | + |
| 235 | +**Problem**: Bundle size check fails |
| 236 | +- **Solution**: Review size report, optimize imports, use code splitting |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +**Problem**: CodeQL analysis fails |
| 239 | +- **Solution**: Check for syntax errors, review CodeQL logs |
| 240 | + |
| 241 | +### Getting Help |
| 242 | + |
| 243 | +- Check [GitHub Actions documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/actions) |
| 244 | +- Review workflow logs in Actions tab |
| 245 | +- Ask in Discord community |
| 246 | +- Create an issue for workflow problems |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +## Maintenance |
| 249 | + |
| 250 | +### Regular Tasks |
| 251 | +- [ ] Review and update GitHub Actions versions monthly |
| 252 | +- [ ] Monitor CodeQL findings weekly |
| 253 | +- [ ] Review Dependabot PRs weekly |
| 254 | +- [ ] Update workflow documentation for changes |
| 255 | +- [ ] Review stale item closure weekly |
| 256 | + |
| 257 | +### Updating Workflows |
| 258 | +1. Test changes in a fork first |
| 259 | +2. Use workflow dispatch for manual testing |
| 260 | +3. Update documentation |
| 261 | +4. Monitor first few runs after changes |
| 262 | + |
| 263 | +## Future Enhancements |
| 264 | + |
| 265 | +Potential workflow additions: |
| 266 | +- [ ] Visual regression testing |
| 267 | +- [ ] Performance benchmarking |
| 268 | +- [ ] Automated canary releases |
| 269 | +- [ ] Integration tests with examples |
| 270 | +- [ ] Automated component documentation generation |
| 271 | +- [ ] npm package publishing automation |
