77
-
78
- All of the Powerhouse React Hooks can be found here: [Powerhouse React Hooks API Reference](docs/academy/APIReferences/ReactHooks)
79
-
80
- React Hooks allow you to use various React features directly within your functional components. You can use built-in Hooks or combine them to create your own custom Hooks.
81
-
82
- **What are Custom Hooks?**
83
- A custom hook is a JavaScript function whose name starts with "use" and that calls other Hooks. They are used to:
84
- - Reuse stateful logic between components.
85
- - Abstract complex logic into a simpler interface.
86
- - Isolate side effects, particularly those managed by `useEffect`.
87
-
88
- **Key Built-in Hooks Examples:**
89
- - `useState`: Lets a component "remember" information (state).
90
- - `useEffect`: Lets a component perform side effects (e.g., data fetching, subscriptions, manually changing the DOM).
91
- - `useContext`: Lets a component receive information from distant parent components without explicitly passing props through every level of the component tree.
92
-
93
- **Naming Convention:**
94
- Hook names must always start with `use` followed by a capital letter (e.g., `useState`, `useOnlineStatus`).
95
-
96
- **Rules of Hooks:**
97
- 1. **Only Call Hooks at the Top Level**: Don't call Hooks inside loops, conditions, or nested functions.
98
- 2. **Only Call Hooks from React Functions**: Call Hooks from React functional components or from custom Hooks.
99
-
100
- It's important to note that a function should only be named and treated as a hook if it actually utilizes one or more built-in React hooks. If a function (even if named `useSomething`) doesn't call any built-in hooks, it behaves like a regular JavaScript function, and making it a "hook" offers no specific React advantages.

206
+ ### 2.1 Versioning, Tagging, and Publishing Your Package
207
+
208
+ Before publishing, it's crucial to version your package correctly and tag the release in your Git repository. This helps track changes and allows users to depend on specific versions.
209
+
210
+ **1. Versioning with PNPM**
211
+
212
+ Use the `pnpm version` command to update your package version according to semantic versioning rules (`patch` for bugfixes, `minor` for new features, `major` for breaking changes). This command will:
213
+ - Update the `version` in your `package.json`.
214
+ - Create a Git commit for the version change.
215
+ - Create a Git tag for the new version (e.g., `v1.0.1`).
216
+
217
+ ```bash
218
+ # For a patch release (e.g., from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1)
219
+ pnpm version patch
220
+
221
+ # For a minor release (e.g., from 1.0.1 to 1.1.0)
222
+ pnpm version minor
223
+
224
+ # For a major release (e.g., from 1.1.0 to 2.0.0)
225
+ pnpm version major
226
+ ```
227
+ Take note of the new version tag created (e.g., `v1.0.1`), as you'll need it in the next step.
228
+
229
+ **2. Pushing Changes to Git**
230
+
231
+ Next, push your commits and the new version tag to your remote Git repository:
232
+
233
+ ```bash
234
+ # Push your current branch (e.g., main or master)
235
+ # Replace 'main' with your default branch name if different
236
+ git push origin main
237
+
238
+ # Push the specific tag created by pnpm version
239
+ # Replace vX.Y.Z with the actual tag name (e.g., v1.0.1)
240
+ git push origin vX.Y.Z
241
+ ```
242
+ The specific tag name (e.g., `v1.0.1`) is usually output by the `pnpm version` command. Pushing the specific tag is recommended to avoid unintentionally pushing other local tags.
243
+
244
+ Alternatively, to push all new local tags (use with caution):
245
+ ```bash
246
+ # git push --tags
247
+ ```
248
+
249
+ **3. Understanding Git Tags vs. NPM Distributor Tags**
250
+
251
+ It's important to distinguish between Git tags and NPM distributor tags (dist-tags):
252
+
253
+ - **Git Tags**: These are markers in your Git repository's history. They are primarily for developers to pinpoint specific release versions in the codebase (e.g., `v1.0.0`, `v1.0.1`). The `pnpm version` command creates these.
254
+ - **NPM Distributor Tags (dist-tags)**: These are labels used by the NPM registry to point to specific published versions of your package. Common NPM tags include:
255
+ - `latest`: This is the default tag. When someone runs `pnpm install my-package`, NPM installs the version tagged as `latest`.
256
+ - `beta`, `next`, `alpha`: Often used for pre-release versions.
257
+ When you publish a package without specifying an NPM tag, it usually gets the `latest` tag by default.
258
+
259
+ **4. Publishing to NPM**
260
+
261
+ Now you are ready to publish your package to the NPM registry. Ensure you are logged into NPM (the `npm login` command shown in previous steps should be used, or `pnpm login` which is an alias).
262
+
263
+ ```bash
264
+ pnpm publish
265
+ ```
266
+ This command will publish the version of your package that is currently specified in your `package.json`. By default, this will also set the `latest` NPM dist-tag for this version.
267
+
268
+ If your package is scoped (e.g., `@your-org/my-package`) and intended to be public, ensure your `package.json` includes the `publishConfig` shown earlier. If this is not set in `package.json` (and your package is scoped), you might need to use:
206
269
  ```bash
207
- npm publish
270
+ pnpm publish --access public
208
271
  ```
209
272
 
210
- Optionally, if you are publishing a scoped package and you want it public, run:
273
+ You can also publish a version to a specific NPM dist-tag. For example, to publish a beta version:
211
274
  ```bash
212
- npm publish --access public
275
+ # Ensure your package.json version reflects the beta (e.g., 1.1.0-beta.0)
276
+ pnpm publish --tag beta
213
277
  ```
278
+ This is useful for testing releases before making them `latest`.
214
279
 
215
280
  Now let's verify that the package(s) get published in the package repository, next to pre-existing packages that you might have been publishing before.

- Before you begin, ensure you have a Linux-based system (Ubuntu or Debian recommended), sudo privileges, and a stable internet connection. These are essential for the installation and configuration process. The system should have at least 1GB of RAM and 10GB of free disk space for optimal performance. While these are minimum requirements, more resources will provide better performance, especially when running multiple services.

-
11
- The `install` script provides a streamlined way to install the Powerhouse CLI tool and all its necessary dependencies. This script handles the installation of node.js 22, pnpm, Powerhouse CLI itself and the services. It's designed to work across different Linux distributions, though it's optimized for Ubuntu and Debian-based systems. It also prepares your machine for running Powerhouse services. It handles everything from package installation to service configuration, making the setup process straightforward and automated. This script is particularly useful for setting up new servers or reconfiguring existing ones.
12
-
13
-
14
- ### Installation Steps:
15
- 1. Run the setup script:
16
- ```bash
17
- curl -fsSL https://apps.powerhouse.io/install | bash # for macOS, Linux, and WSL
18
- ```
19
-
20
- 2. After installation, source your shell configuration:
21
- ```bash
22
- source ~/.bashrc # or source ~/.zshrc if using zsh
23
- ```
24
-
25
- 3. Verify the installation:
26
- ```bash
27
- ph --version
28
- ```
29
-
30
- 4. You will see ph-cli is not yet installed. But it will get installed automatically in the next step.
31
- If you are a builder that wants to make use of the dev releases use `ph use dev` before going to the next step.
32
- - `ph use dev`: Development version - Use this for testing new features or development work
33
- - `ph use staging`: Staging version - Use this for pre-production testing
34
-
35
- 5. Follow the interactive prompts:
36
-
37
- ### Step 1: Package Installation
38
- During the package installation phase, you'll be prompted to enter package names that you want to install. For example, you might want to install `@powerhousedao/todo-demo-package` or other Powerhouse packages. This step is crucial for adding the specific functionality you need to your Powerhouse installation. You can press Enter to skip this step if you don't need to install any packages immediately, but you can always install packages later using the `ph install` command.
39
-
40
- ### Step 2: Database Configuration
41
- The script offers two options for database configuration.
42
-
43
- **Option 1:** Sets up a local PostgreSQL database, which is ideal for development or small deployments. It automatically creates a database user with a secure random password and configures the database to accept local connections. This option is perfect for getting started quickly or for development environments.
44
-
45
- **Option 2:** Allows you to connect to a remote PostgreSQL database by providing a connection URL in the format `postgres://user:password@host:port/db`. This is recommended for production environments where you might want to use a managed database service or a dedicated database server.
46
-
47
- ### Step 3: SSL Configuration
48
- For SSL configuration, you have two choices.
49
-
50
- **Option 1:** The **Let's Encrypt** option is recommended for production environments. It requires you to provide a base domain (like `powerhouse.xyz`) and optional subdomains for your services. The script will automatically obtain and configure SSL certificates for your domains, ensuring secure communication between your services and clients.
51
-
52
- **Option 2:** The self-signed certificate option is suitable for development or testing environments. It uses your machine's hostname and generates a self-signed certificate, configuring the services with appropriate base paths. While this option is convenient for development, browsers will show security warnings, which is why it's not recommended for production use.
13
+ Also make sure you have your preferred domain registered and created subdomains for your Connect & Switchboard instances.

- ### Step 4: Service Configuration
318
+ ## 1. Setting up a new cloud environment
319
+
320
+ The `install` script provides a streamlined way to install the Powerhouse CLI tool and all its necessary dependencies. This script handles the installation of Node.js 22, pnpm, and the Powerhouse CLI itself. It's designed to work across different Linux distributions, though it's optimized for Ubuntu and Debian-based systems. It also prepares your machine for running Powerhouse services. It handles everything from package installation to service configuration, making the setup process straightforward and automated. This script is particularly useful for setting up new servers or reconfiguring existing ones.
321
+
322
+ ### Installation
323
+
324
+ 1. Run the setup script:
325
+ ```bash
326
+ curl -fsSL https://apps.powerhouse.io/install | bash # for macOS, Linux, and WSL
327
+ ```
328
+
329
+ 2. After installation, source your shell configuration:
330
+ ```bash
331
+ source ~/.bashrc # or source ~/.zshrc if using zsh
332
+ ```
333
+
334
+ 3. Verify that the Powerhouse CLI is ready to be installed in the next step:
335
+ ```bash
336
+ ph --version
337
+ ```
338
+ You will see that `ph-cli` is not yet installed. This is expected, as it will be installed by the service setup command.
339
+
340
+ 4. Create a project with `ph-init <projectname>`. After creation, move into the project with `cd <projectname>`.
341
+ Up next is the configurations of your services.
342
+
343
+ ### Service Configuration
344
+
345
+ Next, run `ph service setup` and follow the interactive prompts. This command installs the Powerhouse services (Connect and Switchboard) and guides you through their configuration.
346
+
347
+ :::info
348
+ **What does `ph service setup` do?**
349
+ The script takes care of all the necessary service configuration automatically.
350
+ It installs and configures **Nginx** as a reverse proxy, sets up SSL certificates, and configures the proxy settings for optimal performance.
351
+ It also installs **PM2** for process management and starts your services with the appropriate configuration based on your SSL choice.
352
+ The Nginx configuration includes optimizations for **WebSocket connections**, static file serving, and security headers.
353
+ PM2 is configured to automatically restart services if they crash and to start them on system boot.
354
+ :::
355
+
356
+ The setup command will prompt you for the following information:
357
+
358
+ #### Package Installation
359
+ During this phase, you can enter package names that you want to install. For example, you might want to `ph install @powerhousedao/todo-demo-package` or other Powerhouse packages. This step is crucial for adding the specific functionality you need. You can also press Enter to skip this step and install packages later using the `ph install` command.
360
+
361
+ #### Database Configuration
362
+ The script offers two options for database configuration:
363
+ * **Option 1: Local Database** Sets up a local PostgreSQL database, which is ideal for development or small deployments. It automatically creates a database user with a secure random password and configures the database to accept local connections. This option is perfect for getting started quickly.
364
+ * **Option 2: Remote Database** Allows you to connect to a remote PostgreSQL database by providing a connection URL in the format `postgres://user:password@host:port/db`. This is recommended for production environments.

PM2 is configured to automatically restart services if they crash and to start them on system boot.
366
+ #### SSL Configuration
367
+ For SSL configuration, you have two choices:
368
+ * **Option 1: Let's Encrypt (Recommended for Production)** This option requires you to provide a base domain (e.g., `powerhouse.xyz`) and subdomains for your services. The script will automatically obtain and configure SSL certificates for your domains.
369
+ * **Option 2: Self-signed Certificate** This is suitable for development or testing. It uses your machine's hostname and generates a self-signed certificate. Browsers will show security warnings with this option.
287
370
 
288
- ### Step 5: Security Features
289
- Security is a top priority in the setup process. The script implements automatic SSL certificate management, generates secure database passwords, and configures security headers in Nginx. It also sets up proper proxy settings to support WebSocket connections securely. The security headers include protection against common web vulnerabilities, and the SSL configuration uses modern cipher suites and protocols. The script also ensures that sensitive files and directories have appropriate permissions.
371
+ #### Domain Setup
372
+ You will be asked to enter your `connect` and `switchboard` subdomains to complete the setup. If you need more information, revisit the cloud provider setup sections at the beginning of this guide.

- the ph connect command now uses three subcommands:
729
-
730
- studio (default) — runs connect studio. since this is the default argument, running ph connect still has the same behavior as before,
731
-
732
- build — bundles the project's local and external model/editor code and injects the js/css into the already-built connect bundle for deployment,
733
-
734
- preview — runs the vite preview server with the output of build for testing purposes,
735
-
736
- running ph connect --help now lists the sub-commands. Running ph connect studio --help now shows the help for the studio command, likewise for the other new commands.
737
-
738
- This approach avoids redundant build/compilation which is great for minimizing server resource use. The only compilation that runs is the esbuild of the project code (does not need tsc as that is handled separately) and then tailwind for the local project styles. The whole thing takes less than a second, albeit on my macbook.
739

740
- This should just work with the current boilerplate since these are just new arguments to the existing ph-cli connect command.
