|
|
|
|
We would love for you to contribute to Status Teller Network and help make it even better than it is
|
|
today! As a contributor, here are the guidelines we would like you to follow:
|
|
|
|
- [Code of Conduct](#coc)
|
|
- [Question or Problem?](#question)
|
|
- [Issues and Bugs](#issue)
|
|
- [Feature Requests](#feature)
|
|
- [Submission Guidelines](#submit)
|
|
- [Coding Rules](#rules)
|
|
- [Commit Message Guidelines](#commit)
|
|
|
|
## <a name="issue"></a> Found a Bug?
|
|
If you find a bug in the source code, you can help us by
|
|
[submitting an issue](#submit-issue) to our [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/status-im/status-teller-network). Even better, you can
|
|
[submit a Pull Request](#submit-pr) with a fix.
|
|
|
|
## <a name="feature"></a> Missing a Feature?
|
|
You can *request* a new feature by [submitting an issue](#submit-issue) to our GitHub
|
|
Repository. If you would like to *implement* a new feature, please submit an issue with
|
|
a proposal for your work first, to be sure that we can use it.
|
|
Please consider what kind of change it is:
|
|
|
|
* For a **Major Feature**, first open an issue and outline your proposal so that it can be
|
|
discussed. This will also allow us to better coordinate our efforts, prevent duplication of work,
|
|
and help you to craft the change so that it is successfully accepted into the project.
|
|
* **Small Features** can be crafted and directly [submitted as a Pull Request](#submit-pr).
|
|
|
|
## <a name="submit"></a> Submission Guidelines
|
|
|
|
### <a name="submit-issue"></a> Submitting an Issue
|
|
|
|
Before you submit an issue, please search the issue tracker, maybe an issue for your problem already exists and the discussion might inform you of workarounds readily available.
|
|
|
|
We want to fix all the issues as soon as possible, but before fixing a bug we need to reproduce and confirm it. In order to reproduce bugs, we will systematically ask you to provide steps to reproduce your issue.
|
|
|
|
You can file new issues by filling out our [new issue form](https://github.com/status-im/status-teller-network/issues/new/choose).
|
|
|
|
### <a name="submit-pr"></a> Submitting a Pull Request (PR)
|
|
Before you submit your Pull Request (PR) consider the following guidelines:
|
|
|
|
1. Search [GitHub](https://github.com/status-im/status-teller-network/pulls) for an open or closed PR
|
|
that relates to your submission. You don't want to duplicate effort.
|
|
1. Fork the status-im/status-teller-network repo.
|
|
1. Make your changes in a new git branch:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git checkout -b my-fix-branch master
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Create your patch, **including appropriate test cases**.
|
|
1. Run the test suite, by running `$ npm run test` and ensure that all tests pass.
|
|
1. Commit your changes using a descriptive commit message that follows our
|
|
[commit message conventions](#commit). Adherence to these conventions
|
|
is necessary because release notes are automatically generated from these messages.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git commit -a
|
|
```
|
|
Note: the optional commit `-a` command line option will automatically "add" and "rm" edited files.
|
|
|
|
1. Push your branch to GitHub:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git push origin my-fix-branch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. In GitHub, send a pull request to `status-teller-network:master`.
|
|
* If we suggest changes then:
|
|
* Make the required updates.
|
|
* Re-run the test suites to ensure tests are still passing.
|
|
* Rebase your branch and force push to your GitHub repository (this will update your Pull Request):
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git rebase master -i
|
|
git push -f
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's it! Thank you for your contribution!
|
|
|
|
#### After your pull request is merged
|
|
|
|
After your pull request is merged, you can safely delete your branch and pull the changes
|
|
from the main (upstream) repository:
|
|
|
|
* Delete the remote branch on GitHub either through the GitHub web UI or your local shell as follows:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git push origin --delete my-fix-branch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Check out the master branch:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git checkout master -f
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Delete the local branch:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git branch -D my-fix-branch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Update your master with the latest upstream version:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git pull --ff upstream master
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## <a name="rules"></a> Coding Rules
|
|
To ensure consistency throughout the source code, keep these rules in mind as you are working:
|
|
|
|
* All public API methods **must be documented**.
|
|
|
|
## <a name="commit"></a> Commit Message Guidelines
|
|
|
|
We have very precise rules over how our git commit messages can be formatted. This leads to **more
|
|
readable messages** that are easy to follow when looking through the **project history**. But also,
|
|
we use the git commit messages to **generate the status-teller-network change log**.
|
|
|
|
### Commit Message Format
|
|
Each commit message consists of a **header**, a **body** and a **footer**. The header has a special
|
|
format that includes a **type**, a **scope** and a **subject**:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
|
|
<BLANK LINE>
|
|
<body>
|
|
<BLANK LINE>
|
|
<footer>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The **header** is mandatory and the **scope** of the header is optional.
|
|
|
|
Any line of the commit message cannot be longer 100 characters! This allows the message to be easier
|
|
to read on GitHub as well as in various git tools.
|
|
|
|
The footer should contain a [closing reference to an issue](https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-via-commit-messages/) if any.
|
|
|
|
Samples:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docs(changelog): update changelog to beta.5
|
|
```
|
|
```
|
|
fix(release): need to depend on latest rxjs and zone.js
|
|
|
|
The version in our package.json gets copied to the one we publish, and users need the latest of these.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Revert
|
|
If the commit reverts a previous commit, it should begin with `revert: `, followed by the header of the reverted commit. In the body it should say: `This reverts commit <hash>.`, where the hash is the SHA of the commit being reverted.
|
|
|
|
### Type
|
|
Must be one of the following:
|
|
|
|
* **build**: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, broccoli, npm)
|
|
* **ci**: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (example scopes: Travis, Circle, BrowserStack, SauceLabs)
|
|
* **docs**: Documentation only changes
|
|
* **feat**: A new feature
|
|
* **fix**: A bug fix
|
|
* **perf**: A code change that improves performance
|
|
* **refactor**: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
|
|
* **style**: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
|
|
* **test**: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
|
|
|
|
### Scope
|
|
The scope should be the name of the npm package affected (as perceived by the person reading the changelog generated from commit messages.
|
|
|
|
The following is the list of supported scopes:
|
|
|
|
* **@status-teller-network/contracts** - Contracts related
|
|
* **@status-teller-network/ui** - UI related
|
|
* **@status-teller-network/** - Repo itself (e.g docs)
|
|
|
|
There are currently a few exceptions to the "use package name" rule:
|
|
|
|
* **packaging**: used for changes that change the npm package layout in all of our packages, e.g. public path changes, package.json changes done to all packages, d.ts file/format changes, changes to bundles, etc.
|
|
* **changelog**: used for updating the release notes in CHANGELOG.md
|
|
* none/empty string: useful for `style`, `test` and `refactor` changes that are done across all packages (e.g. `style: add missing semicolons`)
|
|
|
|
### Subject
|
|
The subject contains a succinct description of the change:
|
|
|
|
* use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
|
|
* don't capitalize the first letter
|
|
* no dot (.) at the end
|
|
|
|
### Body
|
|
Just as in the **subject**, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes".
|
|
The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior.
|
|
|
|
### Footer
|
|
The footer should contain any information about **Breaking Changes** and is also the place to
|
|
reference GitHub issues that this commit **Closes**.
|
|
|
|
**Breaking Changes** should start with the word `BREAKING CHANGE:` with a space or two newlines. The rest of the commit message is then used for this.
