# Contributing to this project
|
|
|
|
Please take a moment to review this document in order to make the contribution
|
|
process easy and effective for everyone involved.
|
|
|
|
Following these guidelines helps to communicate that you respect the time of
|
|
the developers managing and developing this open source project. In return,
|
|
they should reciprocate that respect in addressing your issue or assessing
|
|
patches and features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Using the issue tracker
|
|
|
|
The issue tracker is the preferred channel for [bug reports](#bug-reports),
|
|
[features requests](#feature-requests) and submitting pull requests, but please
|
|
respect the following restrictions:
|
|
|
|
* Please **do not** use the issue tracker for personal support requests (use
|
|
[Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com) or IRC).
|
|
|
|
* Please **do not** derail or troll issues. Keep the discussion on topic and
|
|
respect the opinions of others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Bug reports
|
|
|
|
A bug is a _demonstrable problem_ that is caused by the code in the repository.
|
|
Good bug reports are extremely helpful - thank you!
|
|
|
|
Guidelines for bug reports:
|
|
|
|
1. **Use the GitHub issue search.** Check if the issue has already been
|
|
reported.
|
|
|
|
2. **Check if the issue has been fixed.** Try to reproduce it using the
|
|
latest `master` or development branch in the repository.
|
|
|
|
3. **Provide environment details.** Provide your operating system, browser(s),
|
|
devices, and breakpoints.js version.
|
|
|
|
4. **Create an isolated and reproducible test case.** Create a [reduced test
|
|
case](http://css-tricks.com/6263-reduced-test-cases/).
|
|
|
|
5. **Include a live example.** Make use of jsFiddle or jsBin to share your
|
|
isolated test cases.
|
|
|
|
A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more
|
|
information. Please try to be as detailed as possible in your report. What is
|
|
your environment? What steps will reproduce the issue? What browser(s) and OS
|
|
experience the problem? What would you expect to be the outcome? All these
|
|
details will help people to fix any potential bugs.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
> Short and descriptive example bug report title
|
|
>
|
|
> A summary of the issue and the browser/OS environment in which it occurs. If
|
|
> suitable, include the steps required to reproduce the bug.
|
|
>
|
|
> 1. This is the first step
|
|
> 2. This is the second step
|
|
> 3. Further steps, etc.
|
|
>
|
|
> `<url>` - a link to the reduced test case
|
|
>
|
|
> Any other information you want to share that is relevant to the issue being
|
|
> reported. This might include the lines of code that you have identified as
|
|
> causing the bug, and potential solutions (and your opinions on their
|
|
> merits).

## Feature requests
|
|
|
|
Feature requests are welcome. But take a moment to find out whether your idea
|
|
fits with the scope and aims of the project. It's up to *you* to make a strong
|
|
case to convince the project's developers of the merits of this feature. Please
|
|
provide as much detail and context as possible.
|
|
|
|
## Pull Request Guidelines
|
|
|
|
You must understand that by contributing code to this project, you are granting
|
|
the authors (and/or leaders) of the project a non-exclusive license to
|
|
re-distribute your code under the current license and possibly re-license the
|
|
code as deemed necessary.
|
|
|
|
* To instantiate a context or use it, use the variable **that** instead of
|
|
**_this**.
|
|
* Please check to make sure that there aren't existing pull requests attempting
|
|
to address the issue mentioned. We also recommend checking for issues related
|
|
to the issue on the tracker, as a team member may be working on the issue in
|
|
a branch or fork.
|
|
* Non-trivial changes should be discussed in an issue first
|
|
* If your change affects the distributed files, re-generate them using the
|
|
[grunt procedure](#using-grunt)
|
|
* If possible, add relevant tests to cover the change
|
|
* Write a convincing description of your PR and why we should land it
|
|
|
|
## Using Grunt
|
|
|
|
We are using node and grunt to build and (in the future) test this project.
|
|
This means that you must setup a local development environment:
|
|
|
|
1. Install `node` and `npm` using your preferred method
|
|
2. Install the grunt CLI: `npm install -g grunt-cli`
|
|
3. Install the project's development dependencies: `npm install`
|
|
4. Run the various grunt tasks as needed:
|
|
- `grunt`: clean the distribution files and re-build them
|
|
- `grunt dist`: build the distribution files
|
|
- `grunt clean`: clean the distribution files
|
|
- `grunt dist`: build the javascript distribution files
|
|
- `grunt watch`: watch for changes in the source files and build the
|
|
distribution files as needed
