How to contribute

• Report Bugs
• Suggest Enhancements
• Make changes and create pull Requests

To report bugs or suggest enhancements, please use the issues page.

To make pull requests:

• setup the project locally.
• make your changes; Please try to follow the development guidelines while making your changes.
• commit and push the changes.
• submit the pull request.

Project setup

1. Fork the repo to your GitHub account.
2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/simplicity-js/framework.
3. Navigate to the repo's directory: cd simplicity.
4. Run npm install to install dependencies.
5. Create a branch for your PR with git checkout -b pr/your-branch-name.

Tip: Keep your main branch pointing at the original repository while still making pull requests from branches on your fork. To do this, run:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/simplicity-js/framework.git
git fetch upstream
git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream/main main

This does the following:

1. adds the original repository as a "remote" called "upstream"

2. fetches the git information from that remote

3. sets your local main branch to pull the latest changes from the upstream main branch whenever you run git pull.

Now you can make all of your pull request branches based on this local main branch.

Whenever you want to update your local main branch, do a regular git pull. You can push the updated changes to your remote origin master by running git push.

Development

Automated testing

Testing all modules

• Run all tests: npm test.
• Run all tests with coverage report: npm run test:coverage.

Testing individual modules and methods

• Test a directory: npm test -- --<directory>.

  Examples:

  • npm test -- --application
  • npm test -- --component

• Test a module: npm test -- --<module_name>. Example: npm test -- --env.

  Note: To test the config module (as opposed to testing one of its methods), use npm test -- --config::*. This is because npm test -- --config results in npm thinking we are passing config info and returning error:

  Error: Not enough arguments following: config

  Using config::* enables us to achieve our desired functionality.

• Test a module's method: npm test -- --<module_name::<method_name> Example: npm test -- --config::get.

• Test nested module method: npm test -- --<directory>.<file_name>[::<method_name>] or npm test -- --<directory.<ModuleName>[::<method_name>]

  Examples:

  • Test the router (src/component/router/index.js file) methods: npm test -- --component.router.

Example tests

npm test                                // Run all tests inside the src/ directory
npm test -- --factory.cache             // Run all tests inside the src/factory/cache/ directory.
npm test -- --factory.cache.file-cache  // Run only the tests within the file-cache.spec.js file
npm test -- --factory.cache.FileCache   // Ditto
npm test -- --component.router          // Test only the methods of the router module (src/component/router.js)

Committing and Pushing changes

This project follows the Conventional Commits Specification and uses ESLint for linting.

Before committing your changes, run npm run lint:fix to check and automatically fix linting errors. If there are linting errors that cannot be automatically fixed, they are highlighted, so that you can manually fix them.

To commit your changes, run npm run commit. This will:

• generate conventional commit messages using commitizen and cz-conventional-changelog
• check to make sure there are no linting errors
• run the tests to make sure the changes do not break existing functionality
• check that the minimum code-coverage threshold is attained
• apply the commit

Once everything checks out and the commit is applied, you can then push your changes by running git push -u remote pr/your-branch-name.

You can keep making and pushing updates to your pull request branch until you feel ready to have your changes merged into the main project.

When you are ready to have your changes merged, you can then open a pull request.
