## How to contribute

Any contributions are welcome. If you want to contribute without coding, consider following:



* Tell your friends about DbGate or share on social networks - when more people will use DbGate, it will grow to be better

* Write review on [Slant.co](https://www.slant.co/improve/options/41086/~dbgate-review) or [G2](https://www.g2.com/products/dbgate/reviews) 

* Create issue, if you find problem in app, or you have idea to new feature. If issue already exists, you could leave comment on it, to prioritise most wanted issues

* Create some tutorial video on [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCo7KjCVXhr0RfUSjM9wJMsp_ShL1q61A)

* Become a backer on [GitHub sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/dbgate) or [Open collective](https://opencollective.com/dbgate)

* Where a small coding is acceptable for you, you could [create plugin](https://dbgate.org/docs/plugin-development.html). Plugins for new themes can be created actually without JS coding



Thank you!



## Why is DbGate different

There are many database managers now, so why DbGate? 

* Works everywhere - Windows, Linux, Mac, Web browser (+mobile web is planned), without compromises in features

* Based on standalone NPM packages, scripts can be run without DbGate (example - [CSV export](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dbgate-plugin-csv) )

* Many data browsing functions based using foreign keys - master/detail, expand columns, expandable form view



## Design goals

* Application simplicity - DbGate takes the best and only the best from old DbGate, [DatAdmin](https://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Servers/Database-Utils/DatAdmin-Personal.shtml), [DbMouse](https://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Servers/Database-Utils/DbMouse.shtml) and [SQL Database Studio](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_Database_Studio)

* Minimal dependencies

    * Frontend - Svelte

    * Backend - NodeJs, ExpressJs, database connection drivers

    * JavaScript + TypeScript

    * App - electron

* Platform independent - runs as web application in single docker container on server, or as application using Electron platform on Linux, Windows and Mac



## How to run development environment



Simple variant - runs WEB application:

```sh

yarn

yarn start

```



If you want more control, run WEB application:

```sh

yarn # install NPM packages

```



And than run following 3 commands concurrently in 3 terminals:

```

yarn start:api # run API on port 3000

yarn start:web # run web on port 5001

yarn lib # watch typescript libraries and plugins modifications

```

This runs API on port 3000 and web application on port 5001  

Open http://localhost:5001 in your browser



If you want to run electron app:

```sh

yarn # install NPM packages

cd app

yarn # install NPM packages for electron

```



And than run following 3 commands concurrently in 3 terminals:

```

yarn start:web # run web on port 5001 (only static JS and HTML files)

yarn lib # watch typescript libraries and plugins modifications

yarn start:app # run electron app

```



## How to run built electron app locally

This mode is very similar to production run of electron app. Electron doesn't use localhost:5001.



```sh

cd app

yarn

```



```sh

yarn

yarn build:app:local

yarn start:app:local

```



## How to create plugin

Creating plugin is described in [documentation](https://github.com/dbgate/dbgate/wiki/Plugin-development)



But it is very simple:



```sh

npm install -g yo # install yeoman

npm install -g generator-dbgate # install dbgate generator

cd dbgate-plugin-my-new-plugin # this directory is created by wizard, edit, what you need to change

yarn plugin # this compiles plugin and copies it into existing DbGate installation

```



After restarting DbGate, you could use your new plugin from DbGate.



## Logging

DbGate uses [pinomin logger](https://github.com/dbgate/pinomin). So by default, it produces JSON log messages into console and log files. If you want to see formatted logs, please use [pino-pretty](https://github.com/pinojs/pino-pretty) log formatter.
