About Helix

Helix, from my set of BioForge initiatives, is a project born out of my frustration with LinkTree's limitations. Helix is a visually appealing and customizable way to showcase your journey, projects, and objectives all in one place.

Built With

• NuxtJS
• Vuetify
• TypeScript
• SwiperJS
• LottieJS

Get Started

# install dev experience
make setup
# install dependencies
make install
# launch Nuxt instance
make start

IDE Recommendations

I recommend working with VSCode, an IDE that does not need to be presented. Internally, I use a set of code extensions enabling a minimum of code standardization, making the life of many developers more enjoyable. Those extensions are given in .vscode/extensions.json, and can be downloaded directly via the VSCode extension store. This goes hand and hand with properly configured VSCode workspace settings, available in .vscode/settings.json.

Code Quality

Husky:

Many of our internal toolings are enforced via husky, a wrapper for Git hooks. I currently enforce two hooks:

• commit-msg relying on commitlint to make sure that our commit conventions are respected
• pre-push relying on a yarn command to run locally a majority of our CI scripts

Make sure those hooks are correctly configured via

yarn setup

Prettier:

To maintain some minimal standards within our codebase, I rely on prettier that is configured through .prettierrc. I use .prettierignore to avoid conflicts with some configuration files that would otherwise be broken by using prettier. Make sure prettier is correctly used in VSCode by installing the VSCode extension.

Helpers:

I use Node 19.5, and rely on yarn. Alongside that environment, I use the following tools to maintain high code standards:

• prettier configured in .prettierrc
• eslint configured in .eslintrc
• stylelint configured in .stylelint.config.js
• typescript configured in tsconfig.json

Naming Conventions:

"There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things." - Phil Karlton

That is exactly why it is important everyone follow guidelines regarding naming conventions, especially when moving quickly as a team. Here are a set of rules that will most likely guide you through any problem you would face:

1. Do not use abbreviations
2. Use at least 2 words for function names
3. Boolean variables should be infered from their name (e.g. start with is_ or has_)

Typescript

1. Use PascalCase for component registration and name
2. Use PascalCase for component folders
3. Use camelCase for pure JS/TS files and functions
4. Use SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE for constants
5. Use BEM conventions for SCSS
6. Use 2 to 3 words for component naming
7. Name your colors using this project

Configure Vuetify for BEM

I use Vuetify as our material design framework. It provides us with a set of components and themes. It is core to our frontend endeavors, and requires a bit of configuration. Vuetify relies on composition function on top of our configuration to provide helpers available throughout the codebase, and colors are a part of it. To abide by our conventions, I need to configure Vuetify to use BEM for its classes via src/plugins/vuetify.client.

That way, you will now be able to use var(--v-theme-steel-gray) or text-steel-gray in your codebase. I also expose the enum of our colors through our @/types for conveniency.

Typing:

Typing is key to maintainability. It will increase the readability of the code, but will also passively document your code. Finally, type checking will help to find some obvious bugs.

TypeScript is fully integrated into our CI pipeline via GitHub Actions. In addition to that, you'll be warned by Nuxt about any type errors when developing locally. I expose the command yarn types to run the type checker manually.

I aim to make our types as specific as possible. The use any is strongly discouraged in favor of unknown.

Git Conventions

Branches:

I have a simple convention for branch naming: {initials}/{descriptive-kebab-case}. Keep them all loIrcase. For John Doe working on a feature A, that would be jd/feature-a.

Commits:

The Conventional Commits specification is a lightIight convention on top of commit messages. It provides an easy set of rules for creating an explicit commit history; which makes it easier to write automated tools on top of. This convention dovetails with SemVer, by describing the features, fixes, and breaking changes made in commit messages. Learn more here.

Pull requests:

There are simple rules in regards to our PR management:

• Link your PRs to their related Notion tickets;
• Use prefixes for your PR titles among [FIX], [FEAT], [REFACTOR], [RELEASE], [HOTFIX], [TEST];
• If your code affects the application build, be sure to update the README.md;
• Do not merge a PR until all comments are resolved;
• Remove your branch after merging;
