Project setup

(node v6 is required to run tests.)

1. Fork and clone the repo
2. $ npm install to install dependencies
3. $ npm start validate to validate you've got it working
4. Create a branch for your PR

This project uses nps and you can run npm start to see what scripts are available.

Add yourself as a contributor

This project follows the all contributors specification. To add yourself to the table of contributors on the README.md, please use the automated script as part of your PR:

npm start contributors.add

Follow the prompt. If you've already added yourself to the list and are making a new type of contribution, you can run it again and select the added contribution type.

Committing and Pushing changes

This project uses semantic-release to do automatic releases and generate a changelog based on the commit history. So we follow a convention for commit messages. Please follow this convention for your commit messages. If you don't, it's not a huge deal because we can change your commit message when we merge anyway.

Please make sure to run the tests before you commit your changes. You can run npm start test.update which will update any snapshots that need updating. Make sure to include those changes in your commit.

opt into git hooks

There are git hooks set up with this project that are automatically installed when you install dependencies. They're really handy, but are turned off by default (so as to not hinder new contributors). You can opt into these by creating a file called .opt-in at the root of the project and putting this inside:

pre-commit

Help needed

Please checkout the ROADMAP.md and raise an issue to discuss any of the items in the want to do or might do list.

Also, please watch the repo and respond to questions/bug reports/feature requests! Thanks!
