🐞 Issue submission
When submitting an issue or bug report, please follow these guidelines:
- Provide as much information as possible (logs, metrics, screenshots, runtime environment, etc).
- Ensure that you are running on the latest stable version (tagged),
or when using
master
, provide the specific commit being used. - Provide the minimum needed viable source to replicate the problem.
💡 Feature requests
When submitting a feature request, please follow these guidelines:
- Does this feature benefit others? or just your usecase? If the latter, it will likely be declined, unless it has a more broad benefit to others.
- Please include the pros and cons of the feature.
- If possible, describe how the feature would work, and any diagrams/mock examples of what the feature would look like.
🚀 Pull requests
To review what is currently being worked on, or looked into, feel free to head over to the open pull requests or issues list.
🤚 Assistance with discussions
- Take a look at the open discussions, and if you feel like you’d like to help out other members of the community, it would be much appreciated!
📌 Guidelines
🧪 Language agnostic
Below are a few guidelines if you would like to contribute:
- If the feature is large or the bugfix has potential breaking changes, please open an issue first to ensure the changes go down the best path.
- If possible, break the changes into smaller PRs. Pull requests should be focused on a specific feature/fix.
- Pull requests will only be accepted with sufficient documentation describing the new functionality/fixes.
- Keep the code simple where possible. Code that is smaller/more compact does not mean better. Don’t do magic behind the scenes.
- Use the same formatting/styling/structure as existing code.
- Follow idioms and community-best-practices of the related language, unless the previous above guidelines override what the community recommends.
- Always test your changes, both the features/fixes being implemented, but also in the standard way that a user would use the project (not just your configuration that fixes your issue).
- Only use 3rd party libraries when necessary. If only a small portion of the library is needed, simply rewrite it within the library to prevent useless imports.
