### Updating Practice Codes
The codes are stored in the `Codes.xml` file. If you want to add or change codes edit the XML file. Note that GMSJ0A refers to the NTSC-J 1.1 release of Super Mario Sunshine. (It's not actually called version A but that's what we've been calling it for years due to a misconception on what the A on the back of the box means).
When adding new codes keep in mind that the English title/description are mandatory.
#### Codes with configuration
Codes with configuration are usually defined as vue components,
which is defined in [site/.vuepress/components/codes/](site/.vuepress/components/codes/).
When creating/updating those codes,
in addition to editing the `Codes.xml` file,
you may also need to check the following files:
- [site/.vuepress/components/codes/codegen.js](site/.vuepress/components/codes/codegen.js):
Specify the Gecko code generator function of the code.
The version string will be passed as the first argument.
- [site/.vuepress/components/codes/ui.js](site/.vuepress/components/codes/ui.js):
Specify the vue component for the configuration of the code.
The version string will be passed as a property.
- [site/.vuepress/components/codes/preview.js](site/.vuepress/components/codes/preview.js):
Specify the `id` and the `getConfig(version)` function of the code to make it shown in preview.
#### Reserved Memory
Some codes store some states in the games memory starting from address 0x817F0000. To avoid collisions use a memory range in the unallocated ranges:

### Adding translations
1. Create a new file `<lang>.json` in `site/.vuepress/i18n`, where `<lang>` is the language code you want to add. Copy the contents of `en-US.json` into your file and translate each entry in the JSON file.
2. Create a new folder with your language code in `site` (such as `site/de` for German). Create a new markdown file for each existing page (`guide.md`, `index.md`, `ios58.md`, ...) and translate its contents from the English version.
3. Create a new entry in `site/.vuepress/i18n/locales.json` with the site metadata and navigation items for your language.
4. Add your locale to the `translations` in `site/.vuepress/i18n/localeHelper.js`.
5. Open `Codes.xml` and add a translation for each code (`<title>` and `<description>`).
### Updating Guides
You can find the guides in the [site](https://github.com/BitPatty/gctGenerator/tree/master/site) folder. Simply edit the corresponding markdown file (.md).
Note that in the code reference files everything following the `<!-- injectionpoint -->` tag will be removed during the next build.
### Site Development
You can either use dev containers or your own setup to develop new features.
#### Using Dev-Containers
If you have access to codespaces simply open the repository in codespaces. Else you can set it up locally as follows:
1. Install [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) and [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
2. Open the project in VSCode
3. Click the `Reopen in Container` button or run the command with the same name.
#### Using your own environment
Due to formatting rules you should use VSCode for development with the following features/extensions:
- NodeJS 16.x (LTS)
- npm 8.x
- `octref.vetur`
- `esbenp.prettier-vscode`
#### Development commands
```sh
# Install dependencies
npm i
# Inject codes from the Codes.xml file
npm run codes:inject
# Run project in watch mode
# This will serve the page in development mode on http://localhost:8080
npm run dev
# Remove injected codes
npm run codes:clean
# Build project for production
npm run build
# Serve the production build
npm run serve
```
The XML codes will be written automatically to the json file and code reference during the following actions:
- Starting the development server with `npm run dev`
- Building the site with `npm run build`
If you want to inject the codes at any given point you can use `npm run codes:inject`.
**!!! Note that if npm was used, `npm run codes:clean` is ran automatically as a pre-commit hook, removing all injected codes and staging ALL changes.** If you want to commit changes without cleaning codes first you have to commit through `git commit --no-verify`.
### Build and preview the site (Docker)
The project root provides a [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) file, which creates a clean build (with the same configuration as the production build) and spins up a minimal Apache server on your local, serving the resulting build on port 8080.
```sh
# Build and serve the site on http://localhost:8080
# Press CTRL+C to stop the container
docker-compose up --build
```
