New Narratives in the History of Philosophy

[New Narratives in the History of Philosophy][newn] (affectionately known as NEWN) is a PHP application written using the [Symfony Framework][symfony]. It is a digital tool for collecting metadata about women's contributions to philosophical discourse.

Requirements

• Docker Desktop
• A copy of the newn.sql database sql file. If you are not sure what these are or where to get them, you should contact the Digital Humanities Innovation Lab for access. This file should be placed in the root folder.

Initialize the Application

First you must setup the database for the first time

docker compose up -d db
# wait 30 after the command has fully completed
docker exec -it newn_db bash -c "mysql -u newn -ppassword newn < /newn.sql"

Next you must start the whole application

docker compose up -d --build

newn will now be available at http://localhost:8080/

Create your admin user credentials

docker exec -it newn_app ./bin/console nines:user:create <[email protected]> '<your full name>' '<affiliation>'
docker exec -it newn_app ./bin/console nines:user:password <[email protected]> <password>
docker exec -it newn_app ./bin/console nines:user:promote <[email protected]> ROLE_ADMIN
docker exec -it newn_app ./bin/console nines:user:activate <[email protected]>

example:

docker exec -it newn_app ./bin/console nines:user:create [email protected] 'Test User' 'DHIL'
docker exec -it newn_app ./bin/console nines:user:password [email protected] test_password
docker exec -it newn_app ./bin/console nines:user:promote [email protected] ROLE_ADMIN
docker exec -it newn_app ./bin/console nines:user:activate [email protected]

General Usage

Starting the Application

docker compose up -d

Stopping the Application

docker compose down

Rebuilding the Application (after upstream or js/php package changes)

docker compose up -d --build

Viewing logs (each container)

docker logs -f newn_app
docker logs -f newn_db
docker logs -f newn_mail

Accessing the Application

http://localhost:8080/

Accessing the Database

Command line:

docker exec -it newn_db mysql -u newn -ppassword newn

Through a database management tool:

• Host:127.0.0.1
• Port: 13306
• Username: newn
• Password: password

Accessing Mailhog (catches emails sent by the app)

http://localhost:8025/

Database Migrations

Migrate up to latest

docker exec -it newn_app make migrate

Updating Application Dependencies

Yarn (javascript)

First setup an image to build the yarn deps in

docker build -t newn_yarn_helper --target newn-prod-assets .

Then run the following as needed

# add new package
docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/public:/app newn_yarn_helper yarn add [package]

# update a package
docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/public:/app newn_yarn_helper yarn upgrade [package]

# update all packages
docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/public:/app newn_yarn_helper yarn upgrade

Note: If you are having problems starting/building the application due to javascript dependencies issues you can also run a standalone node container to help resolve them

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/public:/app -w /app node:19.5 bash

[check Dockerfile for the 'apt-get update' code piece of newn-prod-assets]

yarn ...

After you update a dependency make sure to rebuild the images

docker compose down
docker compose up -d

Composer (php)

# add new package
docker exec -it newn_app composer require [vendor/package]

# add new dev package
docker exec -it newn_app composer require --dev [vendor/package]

# update a package
docker exec -it newn_app composer update [vendor/package]

# update all packages
docker exec -it newn_app composer update

Note: If you are having problems starting/building the application due to php dependencies issues you can also run a standalone php container to help resolve them

docker run -it -v $(pwd):/var/www/html -w /var/www/html php:7.4-apache bash

[check Dockerfile for the 'apt-get update' code piece of newn]

composer ...

After you update a dependency make sure to rebuild the images

docker compose down
docker compose up -d

Tests

First make sure the application and database are started with docker compose up -d

Unit Tests

docker exec -it newn_app make test

Generate Code Coverage

docker exec -it newn_app make test.cover
make test.cover.view

If the coverage file doesn't open automatically you can manually open it coverage/index.html

Misc
