ASLE Repository Review & Setup Summary

Date: 2024-12-19
Status: ✅ Complete

Overview

This document summarizes the repository structure review and setup completion for the ASLE project.

Completed Tasks

1. Repository Structure Setup ✅

• Backend: Configured as unified monorepo containing:

  • API routes (backend/src/api/)
  • Middleware (backend/src/middleware/)
  • Jobs/Orchestration (backend/src/jobs/)
  • Services (backend/src/services/)
  • GraphQL (backend/src/graphql/)

  Rationale: These components are tightly coupled, share dependencies, and deploy as a single service.

• Contracts: Converted to git submodule

  • Repository: https://github.com/defiQUG/asle-contracts
  • Independent versioning and release cycle
  • Foundry-based smart contract development

• Frontend: Converted to git submodule

  • Repository: https://github.com/defiQUG/asle-frontend
  • Independent versioning and release cycle
  • Next.js 16 application

2. Git Configuration ✅

• All repository files staged and committed
• Submodules properly configured in .gitmodules
• Main repository remote: https://github.com/Order-of-Hospitallers/asle.git
• Submodule repositories created and pushed

3. Documentation Updates ✅

• SUBMODULE_SETUP.md: Complete guide for submodule management
• README.md: Updated with submodule cloning instructions
• CI Workflow: Updated to checkout submodules recursively

4. CI/CD Configuration ✅

• Updated .github/workflows/ci.yml to handle submodules
• All jobs now checkout submodules recursively
• Tests configured for contracts, backend, and frontend

Key Files

Configuration

• .gitmodules - Submodule definitions
• .gitignore - Git ignore rules
• docker-compose.yml - Docker services
• .github/workflows/ci.yml - CI/CD pipeline

Documentation

• README.md - Project overview and quick start
• SUBMODULE_SETUP.md - Submodule management guide
• PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md - Detailed structure documentation
• DEPLOYMENT.md - Deployment instructions
• API_DOCUMENTATION.md - API reference
• TESTING.md - Testing procedures

Cloning Instructions

First Time Clone

git clone --recurse-submodules <repository-url>
cd asle

If Already Cloned

git submodule update --init --recursive

Updating Submodules

git submodule update --remote

Repository URLs

• Main Repository: https://github.com/Order-of-Hospitallers/asle.git
• Contracts Submodule: https://github.com/defiQUG/asle-contracts
• Frontend Submodule: https://github.com/defiQUG/asle-frontend

Next Steps

1. Push Changes: Push the main repository with submodule configuration

   git push origin main
   

2. Verify CI/CD: Ensure GitHub Actions workflows run successfully with submodules

3. Environment Setup: Create .env.example files in:

   • backend/.env.example
   • frontend/.env.example (if needed)

4. Documentation: Review and update any documentation that references the old structure

5. Team Onboarding: Share submodule cloning instructions with team members

Notes

• Backend components (API, middleware, jobs) remain together as a monorepo for optimal development workflow
• Contracts and frontend are independent submodules for separate versioning and team workflows
• All changes have been committed to the main repository
• Submodule repositories are live on GitHub under defiQUG organization

Verification Checklist

• ✅ All files staged and committed
• ✅ Submodules properly configured
• ✅ CI workflow updated for submodules
• ✅ README updated with submodule instructions
• ✅ Documentation created (SUBMODULE_SETUP.md)
• ✅ Automated setup script created
• ✅ Repository structure verified
