Contribution Guide

First of all, thanks for wanting to take the time to make this code better. Every little bit helps.

Basic process

Fork this repository
Create a new branch for your feature / bug fix - this helps to avoid merge conflicts on the master branch
Write code and tests
Create a pull request

For the plugin itself: src/jquery.nearest.js (plus tests, see below)

For documentation: index.html

Don't worry about updating the minified JS file, it gets built automatically as part of a release.

Tests are run using QUnit and live in test/nearest_test.js. Open test/index.html in a browser to make sure tests are passing.

If you're changing the plugin code, at least one test must be present in the pull request:

If you add a new feature, write new tests for it.
If you fix a bug, write a test that shows it was a bug (and makes sure there aren't regressions later).
