👨‍💻 Development Setup

1. Clone the repository and navigate to project folder:

   git clone https://github.com/Sang-Buster/Force-Fusion
   cd Force-Fusion
   

2. Install uv first:

   # macOS/Linux
   curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
   

   # Windows
   powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
   

3. Create a virtual environment at Force-Fusion/.venv/:

   uv venv --python 3.10
   

4. Activate the virtual environment:

   # macOS/Linux
   source .venv/bin/activate
   

   # Windows
   .venv\Scripts\activate
   

5. Install the required packages:

   uv pip install -e .
   

6. Set up environment variables:

   # Copy the example environment file
   cp .env.example .env
   

   • You can get a MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN by signing up at https://www.mapbox.com/
   • Update the CSV_PATH if you want to use a custom database file
   • Update the VEH_MODEL_PATH if you want to use a custom vehicle model

7. Install ruff and pre-commit:

   uv pip install ruff pre-commit
   

   • ruff is a super fast Python linter and formatter.
   • pre-commit helps maintain code quality by running automated checks before commits are made.

8. Install git hooks:

   pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg --hook-type pre-commit --hook-type pre-push
   

   These hooks perform different checks at various stages:

   • commit-msg: Ensures commit messages follow the conventional format
   • pre-commit: Runs Ruff linting and formatting checks before each commit
   • pre-push: Performs final validation before pushing to remote

9. Code Linting:

   ruff check
   ruff check --fix
   ruff check --select I
   ruff check --select I --fix
   ruff format
   

10. Run the application:

uv run src/force_fusion/app.py
