# Developing new component

This document describes how to build and test new component.

## Prerequisites

1. [Dapr development environment setup](https://github.com/dapr/dapr/blob/master/docs/development/setup-dapr-development-env.md)

## Clone dapr and component-contrib

```bash
cd $GOPATH/src

# Clone dapr
mkdir -p github.com/dapr/dapr
git clone https://github.com/dapr/dapr.git github.com/dapr/dapr

# Clone component-contrib
mkdir -p github.com/dapr/components-contrib
git clone https://github.com/dapr/components-contrib.git github.com/dapr/components-contrib

```

## Writing new component

### Write new component

1. Create your component directory in the right component directory
2. Copy component files from the refernece component to your component directory
3. Add go unit-test for your component

### Running unit-test

```bash
make test
```

### Running linting

```bash
make lint
```

## Validating with Dapr core

1. Make sure you clone dapr and component-contrib repos under $GOPATH/src/github.com/dapr
2. Replace github.com/dapr/components-contrib reference to the local component-contrib
```bash
go mod edit -replace github.com/dapr/components-contrib=../components-contrib
```
3. Import your component to dapr [main.go](https://github.com/dapr/dapr/blob/d17e9243b308e830649b0bf3af5f6e84fd543baf/cmd/daprd/main.go#L79)
4. Register your component in dapr [main.go](https://github.com/dapr/dapr/blob/d17e9243b308e830649b0bf3af5f6e84fd543baf/cmd/daprd/main.go#L153-L226)(e.g. binding)
5. Build debuggable dapr binary
```bash
make DEBUG=1 build
```
6. Replace the installed daprd with the test binary (then dapr cli will use the test binary)
```bash
# Back up the current daprd
mv /usr/local/bin/daprd /usr/local/bin/daprd.bak
cp ./dist/darwin_amd64/debug/daprd /usr/local/bin
```
> Linux Debuggable Binary: ./dist/linux_amd64/debug/daprd
> Windows Debuggable Binary: .\dist\windows_amd64\debug\daprd
7. Prepare your test app (e.g. kafka sample app: https://github.com/dapr/samples/blob/master/5.bindings/nodeapp/)
8. Create yaml for bindings in './components' under app’s directory (e.g. kafka example : https://github.com/dapr/samples/blob/master/5.bindings/deploy/kafka_bindings.yaml)
9. Run your test app using dapr cli
10. Make sure your component is loaded successfully in daprd log

## Submit your component

1. Create a pullrequest to add your component in [component-contrib](https://github.com/dapr/components-contrib/pulls) repo
2. Get the approval from maintainers
3. Fetch the latest dapr/dapr repo
4. Update component-contrib go mod and ensure that component-contrib is updated to the latest version
```bash
go get -u github.com/dapr/components-contrib
```
5. Import your component to Dapr [main.go](https://github.com/dapr/dapr/blob/d17e9243b308e830649b0bf3af5f6e84fd543baf/cmd/daprd/main.go#L79)
6. Register your component in Dapr [main.go](https://github.com/dapr/dapr/blob/d17e9243b308e830649b0bf3af5f6e84fd543baf/cmd/daprd/main.go#L153-L226)
7. Create a pullrequest in [Dapr](https://github.com/dapr/dapr/pulls)
