Pull requests via codeberg are the best way to contribute, and are always welcome. Pull requests are an easy way to add frameworks and update resources. Feel free to suggest changes to this or any other document in a pull request as well.
Please note the two-branch structure of this extension. The "develop" branch is where the next release is being produced, while "main" holds the current release. Target all pull requests to the develop branch.
I would be happy if you would implement one of the requested features. These feature requests have the label PR welcome, see [here](https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/issues?q=&labels=74391).
Code formatting is mostly a matter of faith. Your code will probably work anyway, but readable code is very valuable. Regardless of what formatting is used, it is important that this is identical throughout the project. Therefore, please use the files located in the root directory for ESLint.
If you want to add multiple related files (more than 1x JavaScript and 1x Stylesheet), then integrate it as a bundle. This is easier than specifying all the files individually.
##### 3. Specify name in [`/modules/internal/targets.js`](https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/src/commit/d2506369ab5e7cf24633899a8887b1ae48840d75/modules/internal/targets.js#L717)
##### 4. Specify version in [`/modules/internal/targets.js`](https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/src/commit/d2506369ab5e7cf24633899a8887b1ae48840d75/modules/internal/targets.js#L276-L277)
##### 4. Specify version in [`/modules/internal/targets.js`](https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/src/commit/d2506369ab5e7cf24633899a8887b1ae48840d75/modules/internal/targets.js#L264-L265)
Sometimes it's necessary to define the mapping in [`/core/shorthands.js`](https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/src/commit/d2506369ab5e7cf24633899a8887b1ae48840d75/core/shorthands.js). Mostly I do this when regular expressions are necessary.
A good example is **Google Material Icons**. These icons are fetched from the same domain as the regular fonts. So we have to use regular expressions to check all requests if the term `Material Icons` is present. The current regular expression is in [`/core/constants.js`](https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/src/commit/d2506369ab5e7cf24633899a8887b1ae48840d75/core/constants.js#L203)
Sometimes it is needed to add another mapping for an existing resource. This happens when you find another CDN serving a resource, or the same CDN serving it in a different place. This is just a special case of adding a new resource: instead of doing all the steps listed, just do step five.
The example below uses Bluebird.js, and is taken from commit 949406a41e
##### Create mapping in [`/core/mappings.js`](https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/src/commit/d2506369ab5e7cf24633899a8887b1ae48840d75/core/mappings.js#L280)
:warning: `{version}` is a placeholder and will be filled automatically by LocalCDN.
The filename is not relevant, so I'll modify it to match the previous version. In this example, the filename has changed from `Chart.bundle.min.js` to `chart.min.js`. To keep code changes minimal, I just rename the file and leave a [note](https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/src/commit/dfd53999855c604b48f9b24c60949d65eeb273fd/resources/Chart.js/3.0.1/note) in the directory.
##### 3. Declare version
Here it is important to distinguish whether an upgrade is possible and whether the framework is backward compatible. In this example there are some breaking changes from v2.x to v3.x, so in the `targets.js` file the following entry has been added:
```javascript
targets.setLastVersion = function (type, version) {
[...]
} else if (type.startsWith('/Chart.js/2.')) {
return '2.9.4';
} else if (type.startsWith('/Chart.js/3.')) {
return '3.0.1';
}
[...]
};
```
If the simple version comparison is not enough, there is an helper method that compares two version numbers. You can see how to use it [here](https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/src/commit/d2506369ab5e7cf24633899a8887b1ae48840d75/modules/internal/targets.js#L288-L293)
```javascript
} else if (type.startsWith('/jquery/1.')) {
if (helpers.compareVersion('1.7.1', version)) return '1.7.1'; // <= v1.7.1
else if (helpers.compareVersion('1.8.3', version)) return '1.8.3'; // > 1.7.1 to <= 1.8.3
else if (helpers.compareVersion('1.11.2', version)) return '1.11.2'; // > 1.8.3 to <= 1.11.2
else if (version === '1.11.3') return '1.11.3'; // = 1.11.3
else return '1.12.4'; // > 1.11.3
}
```
##### 4. Run [`/audit/audit.sh`](https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/src/branch/main/audit) (modify if necessary)
* d3 v6.6.0 to v6.6.1 https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/commit/8d79a24652ff024036bb2851fc0a6793f88e142f
## New CDNs
If you want to add a new CDN, check the structure and what frameworks are available. Please change [this date](https://codeberg.org/nobody/LocalCDN/src/commit/d2506369ab5e7cf24633899a8887b1ae48840d75/core/mappings.js#L29-L33) afterwards:
```javascript
mappings.lastMappingUpdate = '2021-02-10';
```
:warning: Please note that the date only needs to be changed when a new CDN is added. This does not affect subdirectories.
### CDN as a mirror
If one CDN is just a mirror of another, then it is very easy to add this CDN.
**Example:**
```javascript
mappings.cdn['unpkg.com'] = {
'/': mappings.cdn['cdn.jsdelivr.net']['/npm/']
};
```
In this case all resources of UNPKG are identical with jsDelivr. The only difference is that these resources are not located in the subdirectory `npm`, but directly in the root directory.
### Add new CDN
If you want to add a normal CDN, the structure is `[domain]/[subdirectory(s)]/[version]/[filename]`.
:warning: `{version}` is a placeholder and will be filled automatically by LocalCDN.
```javascript
mappings.cdn = {
[...]
// Example
'cdn.example.com': {
'/libs/': {
'jquery/{version}/jquery.': resources.jQuery
}
[...]
};
```
The complete URL for this resource is `cdn.example.com/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js`.
New contributions should be tested, to ensure that they actually work as intended. Further, investigating what is blocked and what is not, to determine future contributions, is best done through this technique.
For either browser, first download the code (either via a `git clone` command or through the 'download' button on codeberg), and save it to a local folder.
### Firefox
The easiest way to test your resource or CDN is to include the extension as a temporary extension. Please use a different user profile (`about:profiles`) for this, because your previous settings will be deleted when you remove the temporary extension. Note that `about:profiles` and friends are literal URL's that should be entered into the address bar.
You can also call the original address of the resource directly, e.g. `https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.4.js`. If everything is configured correctly, the browser will redirect you. An address like this should be in the address bar: `moz-extension://UUID/resources/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.jsm` (The UUID is a unique ID, see [Extensions and the add-on ID](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/extensions-and-the-add-on-id/))
The Chrome testing process is slightly distinct from that of Firefox.
* Start chrome, and create a new profile by clicking on the user icon in the top right corner.
* Navigate to `chrome://extensions`
* Enable the Developer Mode in the top right of the page
* Select 'load unpacked'
* Select the folder with the downloaded extension
After that, open the Web Developer menu by right clicking and selecting "Inspect Element", or by pressing control-shift-I. The other steps are identical to Firefox's.
