Contributions

There’s several ways to contribute, not just by writing code.

Improve documentation

As a user of this project you’re perfect for helping us improve our docs. Typo corrections, error fixes, better explanations, new examples, etcetera. Anything!

Improve issues

Some issues lack information, aren’t reproducible, or are just incorrect. Help make them easier to resolve.

Give feedback on issues

We’re always looking for more opinions on discussions in the issue tracker.

Write code

Code contributions are very welcome. It’s often good to first create an issue to report a bug or suggest a new feature before creating a pull request to prevent you from doing unnecessary work.

Submitting an issue

  • The issue tracker is for issues. Use chat for support
  • Search the issue tracker (including closed issues) before opening a new issue
  • Ensure you’re using the latest version of projects
  • Use a clear and descriptive title
  • Include as much information as possible: steps to reproduce the issue, error message, version, operating system, etcetera
  • The more time you put into an issue, the more we will
  • The best issue report is a failing test proving it

Submitting a pull request

  • Non-trivial changes are often best discussed in an issue first, to prevent you from doing unnecessary work
  • For ambitious tasks, you should try to get your work in front of the community for feedback as soon as possible
  • New features should be accompanied with tests and documentation
  • Don’t include unrelated changes
  • Lint and test before submitting code by running $ npm test
  • Write a convincing description of why we should land your pull request: it’s your job to convince us
