-
Follow the Coding Rules.
-
Run follwoing command to generate documendation. Ensure 100% documendation coverage.
yarn run start:api-doc
-
Run the project with
yarn run start:prod
to make sure build is ok with production mode -
Commit your changes using a descriptive commit message that follows our commit message conventions. Adherence to these conventions is necessary because release notes are automatically generated from these messages.
git commit -a
Note: the optional commit
-a
command line option will automatically "add" and "rm" edited files. -
Push your branch to GitHub:
git push my-remote my-fix-branch
-
In GitHub, send a pull request to
develop
. -
If we suggest changes then:
- Make the required updates.
- Re-run the build to ensure things are still ok
- Rebase your branch and force push to your GitHub repository That's it! Thank you for your contribution!
To ensure consistency throughout the source code, keep these rules in mind as you are working:
- All public API methods must be documented.
- follow code commending guideline https://compodoc.app/guides/comments.html
- Use https://atom.io/packages/linter-tslint while coding
- We follow Google's JavaScript Style Guide
- Check your code formatting using
yarn run lint
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 change log.
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 74 characters! This allows the message to be easier to read on GitHub as well as in various git tools.
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.
Must be one of the following:
- feat: A new feature
- fix: A bug fix
- docs: Documentation only changes
- style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
- refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
- perf: A code change that improves performance
- test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
- build: Changes that affect the build system, CI configuration or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, broccoli, npm)
- ci: Any changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (Travis, Circle CI, BrowserStack, SauceLabs)
- chore: Other changes that don't modify
src
ortest
files
The scope could be anything specifying place of the commit change. For example
Compiler
, ElementInjector
, etc.
The subject contains succinct description of the change:
- use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
- don't capitalize first letter
- no dot (.) at the end
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.
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.
