Socialify uses biomejs as linter/formatter, Jest for unit testing, and Playwright for end-to-end testing.

Make sure to run and pass the linter, unit and end-to-end tests locally before committing your code. Please let us know in case you need to update the test snapshots. More in "scripts" section in your package.json file.

# Required: Set environment variables in .env.
cp .env.example .env

# Run linter/formatter
pnpm lint

# Fix linter/formatter errors

One changeset file is required per each PR.

1. Run pnpm changeset and select the appropriate senmantic versioning type (major, minor, patch) based on the scope of the change, together with an concise message.

2. You will see a new markdown file with a silly name like milk-honey-eggs.md in the .changeset directory.

3. Test, commit, and push your code WITH this changeset file when submitting a new PR.

4. You can manually edit it to include more information. For example:

   ---
   "socialify": minor
   ---
   
   Added playwright e2e testing to capture user stories and main UI
