# External Password
An app for Nextcloud to allow an administrator to direct a user to an external site for changing their password. This is useful in conjunction with an app like external_users.
Place this app in **nextcloud/apps/**
## Building the app
The app can be built by using the provided Makefile by running:
make
This requires the following things to be present:
* make
* which
* tar: for building the archive
* curl: used if phpunit and composer are not installed to fetch them from the web
* npm: for building and testing everything JS, only required if a package.json is placed inside the **js/** folder
The make command will install or update Composer dependencies if a composer.json is present and also **npm run build** if a package.json is present in the **js/** folder. The npm **build** script should use local paths for build systems and package managers, so people that simply want to build the app won't need to install npm libraries globally, e.g.:
**package.json**:
```json
"scripts": {
"test": "node node_modules/gulp-cli/bin/gulp.js karma",
"prebuild": "npm install && node_modules/bower/bin/bower install && node_modules/bower/bin/bower update",
"build": "node node_modules/gulp-cli/bin/gulp.js"
}
```
## Publish to App Store
First get an account for the [App Store](http://apps.nextcloud.com/) then run:
make && make appstore
The archive is located in build/artifacts/appstore and can then be uploaded to the App Store.
## Running tests
You can use the provided Makefile to run all tests by using:
make test
This will run the PHP unit and integration tests and if a package.json is present in the **js/** folder will execute **npm run test**
Of course you can also install [PHPUnit](http://phpunit.de/getting-started.html) and use the configurations directly:
phpunit -c phpunit.xml
or:
phpunit -c phpunit.integration.xml
for integration tests
