Make Commands

Managing common development operations efficiently is crucial for a seamless development process. In this chapter, we'll introduce a set of Make commands that streamline essential tasks like deployment, versioning, testing, and building for the Ector theme and modules.

Sample Makefile Commands​

Below are sample Makefile commands that you can use to perform various tasks during your development workflow:

1. compose​

This command launches the Docker Compose environment for local development. It starts the containers defined in your docker-compose.yml file, including Prestashop, the database, phpMyAdmin, and Redis.

compose:
    docker-compose up -d

2. compose-build​

This command rebuilds the Docker Compose environment. It is useful when you've made changes to your Docker setup or dependencies.

compose-build:
    @read -p "Are you sure you want to build the environment? THIS WILL PERMANENT DELETE AND REINSTALL PRESTASHOP [y/N] " -n 1 -r; \
    echo ; \
    if [[ $$REPLY =~ ^[Yy]$$ ]]; then \
    docker-compose up -d --build; \
    fi

3. theme-zip​

The theme-zip command creates a zip archive of your Ector theme for easy distribution or deployment.

theme-zip:
    zip -r ector-theme.zip ./path/to/theme

4. module-zips​

The module-zips command creates zip archives for Ector modules, allowing you to package them for distribution or installation.

module-zips:
    @for module in $(MODULES); do \
        echo "Create the .zip of $$module module"; \
        cd modules/$$module && MODULE_NAME=$$module $(MAKE) zip-me && cd ../../; \
    done

5. zip-all​

This command creates zip archives for both the Ector theme and modules in one go.

zip-all:
    @echo "Create the .zip of all modules"
    @$(MAKE) theme-zip
    @$(MAKE) module-zips

6. deploy​

The deploy command facilitates deploying your Ector theme and modules to a live server. It can be customized to match your deployment process.

deploy:
    # Add your deployment steps here

7. release-interactive​

The release-interactive command guides you through the process of creating a new release interactively. This may involve updating version numbers, creating release notes, and performing any other necessary tasks.

release-interactive:
    # Add interactive release process here

8. release​

The release command automates the process of creating a new release for your Ector theme and modules, potentially including version number updates and release notes generation.

release:
    # Add automated release process here

These Makefile commands simplify common development operations, making it easier to manage your Ector theme and modules. You can customize these commands to fit your specific development and deployment workflow. Using Make commands helps ensure consistency and efficiency throughout your development process.

In the following chapters, we will explore more advanced configurations and customization options for the Ector theme and modules.
