Ixcanul (Code editor)

Ixcanul is Volcanic's internal code editor used by all developers in the company. Ultimately the code editor is just JS + CSS so any developer (backend/frontend) in the company has the skills to assist in the development.

Instead of keeping the code in the Volcanic source code and allowing only a few backend developers to edit the code, we believe that if we open it to all our developers we can achieve a really powerful tool in a much shorter time.

How to develop locally?

First you need to make sure you have node and npm installed.

Then make sure that you're not doing any active development on the master branch by creating a new branch from master

replace feature-branch with a purposeful branch name

git checkout origin/master -B feature-branch

then go to the project root directory and run

npm install

When that's done you can start the development server with the command

npm start

now you can go to your browser and visit any ixcanul (code editor) page on the Volcanic Super admin and add to the end of the url

?local_url=https://localhost:9000

When you're done with your feature simply make sure that you commit all changes then do a rebase with the develop branch

git rebase origin/develop

Once you're done with the rebase feel free to open a new pull request (PR) and set the base branch to develop

Happy coding!
