Code Contribution Practices
- Please do not use the
masterbranch; instead, use the next release branch - Contributions will only be accepted as pull requests
- If you plan on taking on an Issue, leave a comment so no one else duplicates your work
- Be sure to pull the latest code before submitting a pull request; conflicting merges may be rejected
- Poorly written or inefficient contributions will be rejected; it's not personal, we still love you
- If you follow the coding standards established in our existing code, we'll love you even more
- We've included JS Beautifier in this project; it automatically runs each time you compile to keep code uniform and beautiful
- Document your code! Other people need to know what's in your head when you write something
Code Documentation
ChariTi uses JSDuck for documentation, which automatically runs on each compile, so please install JSDuck on your machine. Generated documentation is located in the /docs/documentation/ directory. Simply open the index.html page and enjoy.
Where do I start?
You can either visit the Issues page and pick an un-assigned issue from an upcoming branch, or you can submit a new issue with any features you'd like to see added. We're certainly open to ideas from the community!
If you choose to create your own issue with a new feature, please be sure it isn't already listed. Also, please do not add any tags (priority or issue type). We'll review the issue and tag it appropriately; it's sort of our way of signing off on your idea.
Can I be a contributor?
After you've submitted a couple of pull requests you can ask to be added as a contributor. We'd like to make sure that contributors are following the guidelines first.
What if I want to help with the ChariTi website?
We have a private repository for the ChariTi website. Contact us with more information on how you'd like to help and we can discuss this option.
What is this "Peek" branch?
The "Peek" branch is ChariTi PEEK, an application which lets you test out your applications quickly and easily with only a JSON configuration file.
