- Update existing components such as extending functionality, fixing bugs
- Add new chatflow ideas
### Developers
Flowise has 3 different modules in a single mono repository.
- `server`: Node backend to serve API logics
- `ui`: React frontend
- `components`: Third-party nodes integrations
#### Prerequisite
- Install [PNPM](https://pnpm.io/installation). The project is configured to use pnpm v9.
```bash
npm i -g pnpm
```
#### Step by step
1. Fork the official [Flowise Github Repository](https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise).
2. Clone your forked repository.
3. Create a new branch, see [guide](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-and-deleting-branches-within-your-repository). Naming conventions:
- For feature branch: `feature/<Your New Feature>`
- For bug fix branch: `bugfix/<Your New Bugfix>`.
4. Switch to the newly created branch.
5. Go into repository folder
```bash
cd Flowise
```
6. Install all dependencies of all modules:
```bash
pnpm install
```
7. Build all the code:
```bash
pnpm build
```
8. Start the app on [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
```bash
pnpm start
```
9. For development:
- Create `.env` file and specify the `VITE_PORT` (refer to `.env.example`) in `packages/ui`
- Create `.env` file and specify the `PORT` (refer to `.env.example`) in `packages/server`
- Run
```bash
pnpm dev
```
Any changes made in `packages/ui` or `packages/server` will be reflected on [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080)
For changes made in `packages/components`, run `pnpm build` again to pickup the changes.
10. After making all the changes, run
```bash
pnpm build
```
and
```bash
pnpm start
```
to make sure everything works fine in production.
11. Commit code and submit Pull Request from forked branch pointing to [Flowise master](https://github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/tree/master).
