The project uses Flask, Python3.7+ and requires Postgres 12+ as dependency.
|
|
|
|
## General Architecture

SimpleLogin backend consists of 2 main components:
|
|
|
|
- the `webapp` used by several clients: the web app, the browser extensions (Chrome & Firefox for now), OAuth clients (apps that integrate "Sign in with SimpleLogin" button) and mobile apps.
|
|
|
|
- the `email handler`: implements the email forwarding (i.e. alias receiving email) and email sending (i.e. alias sending email).
|
|
|
|
## Install dependencies
|
|
|
|
The project requires:
|
|
- Python 3.7+ and [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) to manage dependencies
|
|
- Node v10 for front-end.
|
|
- Postgres 12+
|
|
|
|
First, install all dependencies by running the following command.
|
|
Feel free to use `virtualenv` or similar tools to isolate development environment.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
poetry install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On Mac, sometimes you might need to install some other packages via `brew`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install pkg-config libffi openssl postgresql
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You also need to install `gpg` tool, on Mac it can be done with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install gnupg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you see the `pyre2` package in the error message, you might need to install its dependencies with `brew`.
|
|
More info on https://github.com/andreasvc/pyre2
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install -s re2 pybind11
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Run tests
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sh scripts/run-test.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Run the code locally
|
|
|
|
Install npm packages
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd static && npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To run the code locally, please create a local setting file based on `example.env`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cp example.env .env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run the postgres database:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mypassword -e POSTGRES_USER=myuser -e POSTGRES_DB=simplelogin -p 35432:5432 postgres:13
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To run the server:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
alembic upgrade head && flask dummy-data && python3 server.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
then open http://localhost:7777, you should be able to login with `john@wick.com / password` account.
|
|
|
|
You might need to change the `.env` file for developing certain features. This file is ignored by git.
|
|
|
|
## Database migration
|
|
|
|
The database migration is handled by `alembic`
|
|
|
|
Whenever the model changes, a new migration has to be created.
|
|
|
|
If you have Docker installed, you can create the migration by the following script:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sh scripts/new-migration.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make sure to review the migration script before committing it.
|
|
Sometimes (very rarely though), the automatically generated script can be incorrect.
|
|
|
|
We cannot use the local database to generate migration script as the local database doesn't use migration.
|
|
It is created via `db.create_all()` (cf `fake_data()` method). This is convenient for development and
|
|
unit tests as we don't have to wait for the migration.
|
|
|
|
## Code structure
|
|
|
|
The repo consists of the three following entry points:
|
|
|
|
- wsgi.py and server.py: the webapp.
|
|
- email_handler.py: the email handler.
|
|
- cron.py: the cronjob.
|
|
|
|
Here are the small sum-ups of the directory structures and their roles:
|
|
|
|
- app/: main Flask app. It is structured into different packages representing different features like oauth, api, dashboard, etc.
|
|
- local_data/: contains files to facilitate the local development. They are replaced during the deployment.
|
|
- migrations/: generated by flask-migrate. Edit these files will be only edited when you spot (very rare) errors on the database migration files.
|
|
- static/: files available at `/static` url.
|
|
- templates/: contains both html and email templates.
|
|
- tests/: tests. We don't really distinguish unit, functional or integration test. A test is simply here to make sure a feature works correctly.
|
|
|
|
## Pull request
|
|
|
|
Please contact us if you want to work on a new feature.
|
|
|
|
The code is formatted using https://github.com/psf/black, to format the code, simply run
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
poetry run black .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The code is also checked with `flake8`, make sure to run `flake8` before creating the pull request by
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
poetry run flake8
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Nice to have: as we haven't found a good enough HTML code formatter, please reformat any HTML code with PyCharm.

## Test sending email
|
|
|
|
[swaks](http://www.jetmore.org/john/code/swaks/) is used for sending test emails to the `email_handler`.
|
|
|
|
[mailcatcher](https://github.com/sj26/mailcatcher) or [MailHog](https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog) can be used as a MTA to receive emails.
|
|
|
|
Here's how set up the email handler:
|
|
|
|
1) run mailcatcher or MailHog
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mailcatcher
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2) Make sure to set the following variables in the `.env` file
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# comment out this variable
|
|
# NOT_SEND_EMAIL=true
|
|
|
|
# So the emails will be sent to mailcatcher/MailHog
|
|
POSTFIX_SERVER=localhost
|
|
POSTFIX_PORT=1025
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3) Run email_handler
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python email_handler.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4) Send a test email
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
swaks --to e1@sl.local --from hey@google.com --server 127.0.0.1:20381
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now open http://localhost:1080/ (or http://localhost:1080/ for MailHog), you should see the forwarded email. |
