GridPilot

Modern league management for iRacing

GridPilot streamlines the organization and administration of iRacing racing leagues, eliminating manual spreadsheet management and providing real-time race data integration. Built with Clean Architecture principles and comprehensive BDD testing.

Prerequisites

• Node.js >=20.0.0 (includes npm)
• Docker and Docker Compose
• Git for version control

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/gridpilot.git
cd gridpilot

# Install dependencies
npm install

Environment configuration files (.env) will be needed for each application. Refer to .env.example files in each app directory for required variables.

Development Workflow

GridPilot uses a monorepo structure with concurrent development across multiple applications:

# Run all applications in development mode
npm run dev

# Build all applications
npm run build

# Run all tests
npm test

Individual applications support hot reload and watch mode during development:

• web-api: Backend REST API server
• web-client: Frontend React application
• companion: Desktop companion application

Testing Commands

GridPilot follows strict BDD (Behavior-Driven Development) with comprehensive test coverage:

# Run all tests
npm test

# Unit tests only
npm run test:unit

# Integration tests only
npm run test:integration

# E2E tests (requires Docker)
npm run test:e2e

# Watch mode for TDD workflow
npm run test:watch

# Generate coverage report
npm run test:coverage

All E2E tests run in isolated Docker containers to ensure consistent, reproducible results.

Contributing

GridPilot adheres to strict development standards:

• Clean Architecture: Domain logic remains independent of frameworks and external concerns
• BDD Testing: All features must have Given/When/Then scenarios
• TypeScript Strict Mode: No implicit any, full type safety
• TDD Workflow: RED → GREEN → Refactor cycle enforced
