The Implementation

kwaeri/model implements the node-kit application Model and is responsible for composing derived models provided by the developer.

Getting Started

NOTE

This module is not ready for production, but published for testing and development purposes. It is in a beta state that is intended for allowing a larger audience of users to try out anything that may already be available, but please be aware that there is likely many aspects of the platform which are not working and/or completely broken; This is intended to allow users to find and report such issues so that they may be fixed. Updated documentation and complete examples and tutorials for getting started will be provided as the platform rewrite nears completion.

Installation

kwaeri/node-kit wraps the various components under the kwaeri scope and provides a single point of entry for both the kwaeri/node-kit application framework and kwaeri/cli component of the kwaeri platform.

kwaeri/cli wraps the various user-executable framework components under the kwaeri scope, and provides a single point of entry to the CLI tooling of the kwaeri platform.

If you wish to use kwaeri/model - perform the following steps:

Install kwaeri/model:

npm install @kwaeri/model

Usage

As we discern the process for using kwaeri/model individually, this section will be expanded.

To leverage the model, first include the component:

// INCLUDES
import { Model } from '@kwaeri/model';

Next, instantiate the model with a sane configuration:

// Prepare model configuration
const model = new Model( configuration );

As for the configuration, it is typically passed forward from node-kit itself during stack initialization after it is read and parsed from the various configurations in a node-kit application's conf directory.

NOTE

As mentioned earlier, the plan is to continue development of the individual components of a kwaeri application - the model component included - and to 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.

The project also leverages Keybase for communication and alerts - outside of standard email. To join our keybase chat, run the following from terminal (assuming you have keybase installed and running):

keybase team request-access kwaeri

Alternatively, you could search for the team in the GUI application and request access from there.

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.
