# Contributing guide
Welcome to the Flashbots collective! We just ask you to be nice when you play with us.
## Pre-commit
We use pre-commit to maintain a consistent style, prevent errors, and ensure test coverage.
To set up, install dependencies through `poetry`:
```
poetry install
```
Then install pre-commit hooks with:
```
poetry run pre-commit install
```
## Tests
Run tests with:
```
kubectl exec deploy/mev-inspect-deployment -- poetry run pytest --cov=mev_inspect tests
```
## Send a pull request
- Your proposed changes should be first described and discussed in an issue.
- Open the branch in a personal fork, not in the team repository.
- Every pull request should be small and represent a single change. If the problem is complicated, split it in multiple issues and pull requests.
- Every pull request should be covered by unit tests.
We appreciate you, friend <3.

## Running locally
mev-inspect-py is built to run on kubernetes locally and in production
## Install
### Install dependencies
mev-inspect-py is built to run on kubernetes locally and in production.
First, setup a local kubernetes deployment - we use [Docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop) and [kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start)
### Dependencies
- [docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop)
- [kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start)
- [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)
- [helm](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/)
### Set up
Ceate a new cluster with:
If using kind, create a new cluster with:
```
kind create cluster
```
Next, install the kubernetes CLI [`kubectl`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/)
Set an environment variable `RPC_URL` to an RPC for fetching blocks.
Then, install [helm](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/) - helm is a package manager for kubernetes
Lastly, setup [Tilt](https://docs.tilt.dev/install.html) which manages running and updating kubernetes resources locally
### Start up
Set an environment variable `RPC_URL` to an RPC for fetching blocks
Example:
```
export RPC_URL="http://111.111.111.111:8546"
```
**Note: mev-inspect-py currently requires an RPC with support for Erigon traces and receipts (not geth 😔)**
**Note: mev-inspect-py currently requires an RPC of a full archive node with support for Erigon traces and receipts (not geth 😔)**
Next, start all services with:
```
tilt up

## Inspecting
## Usage
### Inspect a single block

### Inspect many blocks

## Exploring
### Exploring
All inspect output data is stored in Postgres.
To connect to the local Postgres database for querying, launch a client container with:
```
kubectl run -i --rm --tty postgres-client --env="PGPASSWORD=password" --image=jbergknoff/postgresql-client -- mev_inspect --host=postgresql --user=postgres
```
When you see the prompt
When you see the prompt:
```
mev_inspect=#

You're ready to query!
