Rats Development Tools

introduction

The rats-devtools component provides a suite of tools to automate and streamline the development workflow for any application. It offers commands for tasks such as CI pipeline checks, container image building, documentation generation, and other essential development operations that support, but are not directly part of, your product. While originally developed for this project, rats-devtools is now designed for general use and can help teams enforce best practices and maintain high-quality development environments across different projects.

Typically, the commands provided by this component are installed repo-wide, and are able to support both monorepos, and single-component code bases. The tools for the development of rats components can be installed with the rats.setup script found in the bin/ folder.

cd rats
direnv allow .
rats.setup

You can configure shell-completion for the duration of your session with the commands below:

eval "$(_RATS_AML_COMPLETE=zsh_source rats-aml)"
eval "$(_RATS_CI_COMPLETE=zsh_source rats-ci)"
eval "$(_RATS_DOCS_COMPLETE=zsh_source rats-docs)"
eval "$(_RATS_EZ_COMPLETE=zsh_source rats-ez)"
eval "$(_RATS_RUNTIME_COMPLETE=zsh_source rats-runtime)"

The commands in this component are also used by our CI pipelines, so will give you a good way to validate your changes before submitting a pull request.
