Thank you for your interest in contributing to Arcadic!

Prerequisites

  • Elixir 1.15+ and Erlang/OTP 26+
  • ArcadeDB (for integration tests) — e.g. docker run -p 2480:2480 \ -e JAVA_OPTS="-Darcadedb.server.rootPassword=playwithdata" arcadedata/arcadedb:latest

Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/baselabs/arcadic.git
cd arcadic
mix deps.get
mix test

Development Workflow

  1. Create a feature branch from main.
  2. Make your changes with clear, descriptive commit messages.
  3. Ensure all checks pass before opening a PR:
mix format                        # Format code
mix credo --strict                # Lint
mix compile --warnings-as-errors  # Zero warnings
mix test                          # Run tests
mix dialyzer                      # Type checking
  1. Update CHANGELOG.md under [Unreleased].
  2. Open a Pull Request against main.

Code Style

  • Use mix format — .formatter.exs holds the config.
  • Add @moduledoc and @doc to public modules and functions.
  • Read AGENTS.md before changing transport, error, or parameterization code — its Critical Rules are binding.
