The Implementation

@kwaeri/database reinvents and modernizes the database portion of the nk application platform.

As the database component was originally baked into the nk module, its usage was entirely controlled by it. As we discern the process for decoupling the individual components which make up a kwaeri application, we'll begin to simplify the act of doing so, and provide documentation for utilizing each component individually.

Getting Started

NOTE

@kwaeri/database is not ready for production. We've published this module for testing and development purposes. You're free to try out anything that may already be available, but please be aware that there is likely to be many aspects of the platform which are not working and/or are completely broken. As we near completion of the new platform, we'll update documentation and provide complete examples and tutorials for getting started.

Installation

@kwaeri/node-kit wraps the various components under the kwaeri scope necessary for building a kwaeri application, and provides a single entry point for easing the process of building a kwaeri application.

However, if you wish to install @kwaeri/database and utilize it specifically - perform the following steps to get started:

Install @kwaeri/database:

npm install @kwaeri/database

Usage

We have not discerned the entire process one will need to follow in order to make use of @kwaeri/database individually. The component was originally intended to be used in conjunction with several other components which make up the nk application platform.

As we discern the process for doing so, this section will be expanded.

To leverage the database application, you'll first need to include the component:

// INCLUDES
import { database } from '@kwaeri/database';

NOTE

As mentioned earlier, the plan is to continue development of the individual components of a kwaeri application - the database component included - and ultimately ease the process of making use of each individual component as they are decoupled from one another.

More documentation to come!

How to Contribute Code

Our Open Source projects are always open to contribution. If you'd like to cocntribute, all we ask is that you follow the guidelines for contributions, which can be found at the Massively Modified Wiki

There you'll find topics such as the guidelines for contributions; step-by-step walk-throughs for getting set up, Coding Standards, CSS Naming Conventions, and more.

Other Ways to Contribute

There are other ways to contribute to the project other than with code. Consider testing the software, or in case you've found an Bug - please report it. You can also support the project monetarly through donations via PayPal.

Regardless of how you'd like to contribute, you can also find in-depth information for how to do so at the Massively Modified Wiki

Bug Reports

To submit bug reports, request enhancements, and/or new features - please make use of the issues system baked-in to our source control project space at Gitlab

You may optionally start an issue, track, and manage it via email by sending an email to our project's support desk.

For more in-depth documentation on the process of submitting bug reports, please visit the Massively Modified Wiki on Bug Reports

Vulnerability Reports

Our Vulnerability Reporting process is very similar to Gitlab's. In fact, you could say its a fork.

To submit vulnerability reports, please email our Security Group. We will try to acknowledge receipt of said vulnerability by the next business day, and to also provide regular updates about our progress. If you are curious about the status of your report feel free to email us again. If you wish to encrypt your disclosure email, like with gitlab - please email us to ask for our GPG Key.

Please refrain from requesting compensation for reporting vulnerabilities. We will publicly acknowledge your responsible disclosure, if you request us to do so. We will also try to make the confidential issue public after the vulnerability is announced.

You are not allowed, and will not be able, to search for vulnerabilities on Gitlab.com. As our software is open source, you may download a copy of the source and test against that.

Confidential Issues

When a vulnerability is discovered, we create a [confidential issue] to track it internally. Security patches will be pushed to private branches and eventually merged into a security branch. Security issues that are not vulnerabilites can be seen on our public issue tracker.

For more in-depth information regarding vulnerability reports, confidentiality, and our practices; Please visit the Massively Modified Wiki on Vulnerability

Donations

If you cannot contribute time or energy to neither the code base, documentation, nor community support; please consider making a monetary contribution which is extremely useful for maintaining the Massively Modified network and all the goodies offered free to the public.
