## Project organisation
The `LBMC/nextflow` project is structured as follow:
- all the code is in the `src/` folder
- scripts downloading external tools should download them in the `bin/` folder
- all the documentation (including this file) can be found int he `doc/` folder
- the `data` and `results` folders contain the data and results of your piplines and are ignored by `git`
## Code structure
The `src/` folder is where we want to save the pipline (`.nf`) script. This folder also contains:
- the `src/install_nextflow.sh` to install the nextflow executable at the root of the project.
- some pipelines examples (like the one build during the nf_pratical)
- the `src/nextflow.config` global configuration file which contains the `docker`, `singularity`, `psmn` and `ccin2p3` profiles.
- the `src/nf_modules` folder contains per tools `main.nf` modules with predefined process that users can imports in their projects with the [DSL2](https://www.nextflow.io/docs/latest/dsl2.html)
But also some hidden folders that users don't need to see when building their pipeline:
- the `src/.docker_modules` contains the recipies for the `docker` containers used in the `src/nf_modules/<tool_names>/main.nf` files
- the `src/.singularity_in2p3` and `src/.singularity_psmn` are symbolic links to the shared folder where the singularity images are downloaded on the PSMN and CCIN2P3
# Proposing a new tool
Each tool named `<tool_name>` must have two dedicated folders:
Please note we have a code of conduct, please follow it in all your interactions with the project.
- `src/nf_modules/<tool_name>` where users can find `.nf` files to include
- `src/.docker_modules/<tool_name>/<version_number>` where we have the `.Dockerfile` to construct the container used in the `main.nf` file
## Pull Request Process
## `src/nf_module` guide lines
1. Ensure any install or build dependencies are removed before the end of the layer when doing a
build.
2. Update the README.md with details of changes to the interface, this includes new environment
variables, exposed ports, useful file locations and container parameters.
3. Increase the version numbers in any examples files and the README.md to the new version that this
Pull Request would represent. The versioning scheme we use is [SemVer](http://semver.org/).
4. You may merge the Pull Request in once you have the sign-off of two other developers, or if you
do not have permission to do that, you may request the second reviewer to merge it for you.
We are going to take the `fastp`, `nf_module` as an example.
## Code of Conduct
The `src/nf_modules/<tool_name>` should contain a `main.nf` file that describe at least one process using `<tool_name>`
### Our Pledge
### container informations
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and
orientation.
The first two lines of `main.nf` should define two variables
```
version = "0.20.1"
container_url = "lbmc/fastp:${version}"
```
### Our Standards
we can then use the `container_url` definition in each `process` in the `container` attribute.
In addition to the `container` directive, each `process` should have one of the following `label` attributes (defined in the `src/nextflow.config` file)
- `big_mem_mono_cpus`
- `big_mem_multi_cpus`
- `small_mem_mono_cpus`
- `small_mem_multi_cpus`
Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
include:
```
process fastp {
container = "${container_url}"
label = "big_mem_multi_cpus"
...
}
```
* Using welcoming and inclusive language
* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
* Focusing on what is best for the community
* Showing empathy towards other community members
### process options
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
Before each process, you shoud declare at least two `params.` variables:
- A `params.<process_name>` defaulting to `""` (empty string) to allow user to add more commmand line option to your process without rewritting the process definition
- A `params.<process_name>_out` defaulting to `""` (empty string) that define the `results/` subfolder where the process output should be copied if the user want to save the process output
* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
advances
* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
* Public or private harassment
* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
address, without explicit permission
* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
professional setting
```
params.fastp = ""
params.fastp_out = ""
process fastp {
container = "${container_url}"
label "big_mem_multi_cpus"
if (params.fastp_out != "") {
publishDir "results/${params.fastp_out}", mode: 'copy'
}
...
script:
"""
fastp --thread ${task.cpus} \
${params.fastp} \
...
"""
}
```
### Our Responsibilities
The user can then change the value of these variables:
- from the command line `--fastp "--trim_head1=10"``
- with the `include` command within their pipeline: `include { fastq } from "nf_modules/fastq/main" addParams(fastq_out: "QC/fastq/")
- by defining the variable within their pipeline: `params.fastq_out = "QC/fastq/"
Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
### `input` and `output` format
Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
threatening, offensive, or harmful.
You should always use `tuple` for input and output channel format with at least:
- a `val` containing variable(s) related to the item
- a `path` for the file(s) that you want to process
### Scope
for example:
```
process fastp {
container = "${container_url}"
label "big_mem_multi_cpus"
tag "$file_id"
if (params.fastp_out != "") {
publishDir "results/${params.fastp_out}", mode: 'copy'
}
This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
input:
tuple val(file_id), path(reads)
### Enforcement
output:
tuple val(file_id), path("*.fastq.gz"), emit: fastq
tuple val(file_id), path("*.html"), emit: html
tuple val(file_id), path("*.json"), emit: report
...
```
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
reported by contacting the project team at [INSERT EMAIL ADDRESS]. All
complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
Here `file_id` can be anything from a simple identifier to a list of several variables.
So you have to keep that in mind if you want to use it to define output file names (you can test for that with `file_id instanceof List`).
Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
members of the project's leadership.
The rational behind taking a `file_id` and emitting the same `file_id` is to facilitate complex channel operations in pipelines without having to rewrite the `process` blocks.
