Contributing to House Plan

Thanks for your interest! The project is one HACS package: a storage integration (custom_components/houseplan/, Python) and a Lovelace card (src/, TypeScript + Lit).

Where to ask

Not sure whether something is a bug, or just want to discuss an idea before writing code? The Telegram chat @ha_houseplan is the quickest route to the author and other users. Bugs and concrete feature requests still belong in issues.

Five-minute setup

git clone https://github.com/Matysh/houseplan-card && cd houseplan-card
npm ci                    # frontend toolchain
npm run typecheck         # tsc --noEmit (strict)
npm test                  # node:test — pure logic, i18n parity, tap-action security
npm run build             # tsc + rollup → dist/houseplan-card.js
pip install pytest voluptuous && python -m pytest tests_backend -q   # pure backend tests

The HA-harness backend tests (tests_backend/test_ha_*.py) need Python ≥3.13 and pytest-homeassistant-custom-component home-assistant-frontend; CI runs them on every push — locally they are skipped when homeassistant is not importable.

Ground rules

  • Docs in the same commit: CHANGELOG entry for user-visible changes; docs/STATUS.md for state changes; docs/DEVELOPMENT.md for new gotchas.
  • Every UI string goes through src/i18n/<lang>.json (tests enforce en/ru key parity). Adding a language = adding one JSON file + registering it in src/i18n.ts.
  • The built card must be committed in sync: cp dist/houseplan-card.js custom_components/houseplan/frontend/ (CI compares them byte-for-byte).
  • Tap actions have a security model (locks/alarms never toggle from the plan) — see resolveTapAction in src/logic.ts; don't weaken it.
  • Follow the Integration Quality Scale where applicable — custom_components/houseplan/quality_scale.yaml tracks the self-assessment.

Architecture

Start with docs/ARCHITECTURE.md (data model, WS API, coordinate system) and docs/STATUS.md (current state). Release: bump the version in package.json, manifest.json, const.py, CARD_VERSION, tag vX.Y.Z, publish a GitHub release — the workflow attaches the card bundle.
