Coding guidelines

Any code for Weblate should be written with Security by Design Principles in mind.

Any code should come with documentation explaining the behavior. Don’t forget documenting methods, complex code blocks, or user visible features.

Any new code should utilize PEP 484 type hints. We’re not checking this in our CI yet as existing code does not yet include them.

Coding standard and linting the code

The code should follow PEP-8 coding guidelines and should be formatted using ruff code formatter.

To check the code quality, you can use ruff, its configuration is stored in pyproject.toml.

The easiest approach to enforce all this is to install pre-commit. The repository contains configuration for it to verify the committed files are sane. After installing it (it is already included in the requirements-lint.txt) turn it on by running pre-commit install in Weblate checkout. This way all your changes will be automatically checked.

You can also trigger check manually, to check all files run:

pre-commit run --all
