Contributing

Contributions and feedback are always welcome. The expected procedure is the following:

Bugs, Features and Feedback

  • Please, create github issues for feature-requests, bug reports.
  • Feel free to open issues for questions and problems you have, even if they are not bugs or feature requests.
  • You may even open an issue just to say you like the project.
  • For small changes, such as typo and formatting corrections, you can immediately create a pull-request. You can use the github web-interface, but keep in mind that most of the documentation is created with Thought, so you should change the template in the .thought directory or change the default templates in the thought project.
  • If you have an idea for a new feature that you would like to implement, please open an issue first and ask for feedback. Maybe someone else has a similar problem and different ideas.
  • If you encounter a bug you can submit a pull-request for a failing unit test, you should then also open an issue for the bug.
  • Before making a pull-request, make sure that you commit corresponds to the coding-style. You can do this by running npm test.

People submitting relevant contributions will be granted commit access to the repository.

Coding style

standard

This repository uses standard to maintain code style and consistency, and to avoid style arguments. You can run npm run format to apply the coding-style, but you may need to fix some things manually. Make sure to use the latest version of standard.

Installing & Testing

You can fork and clone the repo from github. Run

  • Run npm install to install all the dependencies needed to build and run the project.
  • Run npm test to run unit tests and validate the standard coding-style.
  • Run npm run thought to generate the README.md and other markdown files in the repository.

It is intentional to don't have standard, thought, istanbul and coveralls in the devDependencies. standard is a rather large package which you would not want to have copied into the node_modules-folder of each of your projects.

Instead, the pretest- and preformat-scripts ensure that standard and thought are installed globally. If you are not allowed to install packages globally, please raise an issue, so that we can try to find a solution.
