## Code of Conduct
Please be respectful and constructive when interacting with maintainers and other contributors. This project is for personal learning and communication; use it responsibly and legally.
---
## Development Environment Setup
### Prerequisites
- **Go**: 1.25 or later (see `go.mod` for the exact version).
- **Git**: For cloning and submodules.
- **C compiler**: Required for CGO (e.g. `gcc`, `musl-dev` on Alpine).
- **Node.js** (optional): Only if you plan to work on or rebuild the frontend. The repo can be run with pre-built frontend assets.
### Clone and Submodules
```bash
git clone https://github.com/alireza0/s-ui
cd s-ui
git submodule update --init --recursive
```
The **frontend** lives in a submodule. If you only work on the backend, you can use the existing `web/html` contents or build the frontend once (see below).
### Backend-Only Development (quickest)
1. Build and run with the provided script (builds backend and runs with debug + local DB):
```bash
./runSUI.sh
```
This runs `./build.sh` then `SUI_DB_FOLDER="db" SUI_DEBUG=true ./sui`.
2. Or build manually:
```bash
./build.sh
SUI_DB_FOLDER=db SUI_DEBUG=true ./sui
```
Default panel: **http://localhost:2095/app/** (user: `admin`, password: `admin` — change in production).
### Full Stack (Backend + Frontend)
1. **Frontend** (separate repo in submodule):
```bash
cd frontend
npm install
npm run build
cd ..
```
2. **Replace web assets and build backend**:
```bash
mkdir -p web/html
rm -rf web/html/*
cp -R frontend/dist/* web/html/
go build -ldflags "-w -s" -tags "with_quic,with_grpc,with_utls,with_acme,with_gvisor" -o sui main.go
```
3. Run:
```bash
SUI_DB_FOLDER=db SUI_DEBUG=true ./sui
```
### Build Tags
The backend is built with these tags for full functionality:
- `with_quic`, `with_grpc`, `with_utls`, `with_acme`, `with_gvisor`
Use the same tags when building locally if you need feature parity with releases.
### Environment Variables (development)
| Variable | Description | Example |
|----------------|--------------------------------|-----------|
| `SUI_DB_FOLDER`| Directory for SQLite DB files | `db` |
| `SUI_DEBUG` | Enable debug mode | `true` |
| `SUI_LOG_LEVEL`| Log level | `debug` |
| `SUI_BIN_FOLDER` | Directory for binaries | `bin` |
### Docker (optional)
```bash
git clone https://github.com/alireza0/s-ui
cd s-ui
git submodule update --init --recursive
docker build -t s-ui .
# or: docker compose up -d
```
---
## Coding Conventions and Style Guide
### General
- Write clear, maintainable code. Prefer small, focused functions and packages.
- Comment non-obvious logic and public APIs.
- Handle errors explicitly; avoid ignoring `err` unless intentional.
### Go Style
- Follow **standard Go style** and **[Effective Go](https://go.dev/doc/effective_go)**.
- Run **gofmt** (or **goimports**) before committing:
```bash
gofmt -w .
# or: goimports -w .
```
- Use **camelCase** for unexported names and **PascalCase** for exported names.
- Keep package names short and lowercase (e.g. `api`, `service`, `util`).
- Group imports: standard library, then third-party, then project imports (as in existing files).
### Project Structure Conventions
- **`api/`**: HTTP handlers and API routing (e.g. `apiHandler.go`, `apiV2Handler.go`).
- **`service/`**: Business logic and panel/core operations.
- **`database/model/`**: GORM models and DB entities.
- **`util/`**: Shared utilities (e.g. link/sub conversion, JSON).
- **`core/`**: sing-box integration and core runtime.
- **`sub/`**: Subscription (link/json) handling.
When adding new features, place code in the appropriate layer (handler → service → model/util) and avoid circular dependencies.
### Naming and Patterns
- Handlers: suffix `Handler` (e.g. `APIHandler`, `APIv2Handler`).
- Services: suffix `Service` or use package name (e.g. `ApiService`, `LinkService`).
- Models: clear struct names with JSON/gorm tags (see `database/model/`).
---
## Testing
### Current State
- The project does not yet have a formal test suite (no `*_test.go` files in the repo).
- CI currently focuses on **builds** (e.g. `release.yml`) rather than automated tests.
### What You Can Do Now
1. **Build verification**: Before submitting a PR, ensure the project builds:
```bash
go build -ldflags "-w -s" -tags "with_quic,with_grpc,with_utls,with_acme,with_gvisor" -o sui main.go
```
2. **Manual testing**: Run with `./runSUI.sh`, test the changed area (panel, API, subscription, etc.).
3. **Future tests**: Contributions that add **unit tests** (e.g. for `util/`, `service/`, or API handlers) or **integration tests** are very welcome. Prefer the standard library `testing` package and table-driven tests where appropriate.
### Running the Linter (optional)
```bash
go vet ./...
# Optional: staticcheck, golangci-lint, etc.
```

## Features That Need Help
Community help is especially valuable in these areas. Check the [Issues](https://github.com/alireza0/s-ui/issues) for current tasks and ideas.
### High-Value Areas
- **Multi-inbound per user**: Core differentiator of S-UI; improvements to UX, docs, and robustness are welcome.
- **API (v1 and v2)**: Completeness, consistency, and documentation (see [API Documentation](https://github.com/alireza0/s-ui/wiki/API-Documentation)).
- **Subscription service**: Link conversion, JSON subscription, and info endpoints (`sub/`, `util/`).
- **Testing**: Adding unit and integration tests for critical paths.
- **Documentation**: User docs, API examples, and contribution docs (like this file).
- **Platform support**: macOS is experimental; Windows and Linux improvements are welcome (see `windows/` and `.github/workflows/`).
### How to Find Tasks
- **Good first issue**: Look for issues labeled `good first issue` or `help wanted`.
- **Feature requests**: [Feature request template](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md).
- **Bugs**: [Bug report template](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md).
If you want to work on a larger feature, open an issue first to discuss approach and avoid duplicate work.
---
## Pull Request Process
1. **Fork and branch**
- Fork the repository on GitHub.
- Create a branch from `main`: e.g. `git checkout -b fix/issue-123` or `feature/sub-improvements`.
2. **Make your changes**
- Follow the [Coding Conventions](#coding-conventions-and-style-guide).
- Run `gofmt` and ensure the project builds (see [Testing](#testing)).
- Keep commits focused and messages clear (e.g. "Fix link conversion for VMess", "Add tests for outJson").
3. **Push and open a PR**
- Push your branch and open a Pull Request against `main`.
- Use the PR description to explain:
- What problem or feature the PR addresses.
- What you changed and how to verify it.
- Reference any related issue (e.g. "Fixes #123").
4. **Review and CI**
- Maintainers will review your code. CI (e.g. build workflows) must pass.
- Address feedback by pushing new commits to the same branch.
5. **Merge**
- Once approved and CI is green, a maintainer will merge your PR. Thank you for contributing!
### PR Guidelines
- Prefer **small, reviewable PRs**. Split large features into logical steps.
- Avoid unrelated changes (e.g. formatting-only or refactors in a feature PR).
- Ensure your branch is up to date with `main` before submitting (rebase or merge as the project prefers).

## Adding This Guide in Your Repository
If you maintain a fork or your own repository and want the contribution guide to be visible and linked properly:
1. **Keep `CONTRIBUTING.md` in the repository root**
GitHub automatically discovers a file named `CONTRIBUTING.md` (or `CONTRIBUTING`) in the root. When someone opens a new issue or pull request, GitHub can show a link to it. The community profile also uses it for the “Contributing” section.
2. **Link from README**
Add a short line in your main `README.md` so new contributors see it when they land on the repo, for example:
```markdown
**Want to contribute?** See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for development setup, coding conventions, and the pull request process.
```
3. **Optional: GitHub “Contributing” link**
In the repository **Settings → General → Features**, ensure “Issues” (and optionally “Discussions”) are enabled. The link to `CONTRIBUTING.md` appears when users create a new issue or PR; no extra config is needed as long as the file is in the root.
4. **When forking**
If you fork S-UI, `CONTRIBUTING.md` is already in the repo. Update the clone URLs and repo names in this file if you want your forks contribution instructions to point to your own repository.
---
## Reporting Bugs and Requesting Features
- **Bugs**: Use the [bug report template](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md). Include version, OS, steps to reproduce, and expected vs actual behavior.
- **Features**: Use the [feature request template](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md). Describe the use case and, if possible, a proposed approach.
- **Questions**: Use the [question template](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/question-template.md) or discussions if enabled.
