Contributing with Issues

Before opening an issue try to search the existing ones for the same problem.

Make sure to include on your issue the following information:

  • Node.js Version
  • yarn / npm version
  • Operational System (name and version)
  • Package version
  • Logs of the installation

Contributing with Code

The package manager used on this project is yarn

The addon lib code is written in Typescript, while the addon itself is written in C++.

Folders ./scripts and ./tools contain scripts in Javascript, those are used mostly during installation and on CI.

C/C++

Code Style

C/C++ code is written following Google style guide (with some minor changes), and clang-format can/should be used to automatically format the code. There is already a .clang-format on the repository.

Linting

cpplint is used to lint C/C++ code

Typescript / Javascript

Code Style

TS/JS code should be formatted using prettier

Linting

ts-lint is used to lint TS code, while JS code is using eslint.

Setup

If on Windows, first you will need to grab the deps:

$ node scripts/update-deps.js

Install the dependencies, this will also build the addon:

$ yarn install

If you made some change to the C++ code, you can just build the addon again:

$ yarn pregyp build

In case you need to rebuild:

$ yarn pregyp rebuild

If you have any issues with the build process, please refer to a readme build troubleshooting section.

Adding New libcurl Options

If you want to include a new libcurl option on the addon, those are the basic steps:

  1. Add the option to their correct category on Curl.cc There are different vectors there for the expected type of the option's value, like curlOptionInteger, curlOptionString, etc. Make sure to use a #if directive to include this option only if building against a libcurl version that supports it, otherwise there will be an compilation error on older versions.
  2. In case the option expects a value of type other than number | string | boolean, you must also add it to their respective key on the object optionKindMap inside ./scripts/data/options.js. In case you add it to the other key, which means this option has a specific value, you must also add the option expected value type to the object optionKindValueMap right below, on that same file.
  3. Run node ./scripts/build-constants.js, this will generate an updated list of options on ./lib/generated/, and also update the files [./lib/Curl.ts] and [./lib/EasyNativeBinding.ts] with overloads for the setOpt method. Make sure the options added are correct.

Changing libcurl Version Used on Prebuilt Binaries for Windows

You will need to open a PR against the repository JCMais/curl-for-windows upgrading libcurl there.

After that a new tag will be created on this repo, which we can them use on the file LIBCURL_VERSION_WIN_DEPS.

Debugging with lldb

  1. Install lldb On Debian based linux:
sudo apt-get install lldb
  1. Install Node.js lldb plugin:
npm i -g llnode
  1. Run script that causes core dump
llnode -- /path/to/bin/node --abort_on_uncaught_exception script.js
  1. Profit

Publishing New Releases

We are using np for releases.

Semver Major / Minor / Patch

  1. Checkout master
  2. Merge changes from develop
  3. Update docs by running yarn docs and commit the changes.
  4. Create version
  5. Publish

So basically:

git checkout master
git merge develop

And then:

npx np [major|minor|patch]

or if you are having trouble with np:

yarn publish

or even if you are having trouble with yarn:

npm version [major|minor|patch]
npm publish

And finally

git push --follow-tags
git checkout develop
git merge master
git push

Prereleases

For prereleases, use something like this from the develop branch:

$ yarn np prerelease --any-branch --tag next

If for some reason np fails to run with Yarn, you can use this command to skip cleaning up and use npm to publish:

$ yarn np prerelease --no-yarn --no-cleanup --any-branch --tag next
