Interested in contributing? Great! Here are some suggestions to make it a good experience:
Start by opening an issue, whether to identify a problem or suggest a change. That issue should be used to discuss the situation and agree on a plan of action before writing code or sending a pull request. Maybe the problem isn't really a problem, or maybe there are other things to consider. If so, it's best to realize that before spending time and effort writing code that may not get used.
Match the coding style of the files you edit. Although everyone has their own preferences and opinions, a pull request is not the right forum to debate them.
Package versions for dependencies and devDependencies should be specified
exactly (also known as "pinning"). The short explanation is that doing otherwise
eventually leads to inconsistent behavior and broken functionality. (See Why I
pin dependency versions in Node.js packages for a longer
explanation.)
Add tests for all new/changed functionality. Test positive and negative scenarios. Try to break the code now, or else it will get broken later.
Run local tests via npm test. Lint by running npm run lint. The best way to
test GitHub Actions is via Workflows, so create a (draft) PR to see your changes
in action.
Pull requests should contain a single commit that addresses a single issue.
Open pull requests against the main branch. Include the text "(fixes #??)." at
the end of the commit message so it will be associated with the corresponding
issue. (See the GitHub documentation for details.)
Please refrain from using slang or meaningless placeholder words. Sample content can be "text", "code", "heading", or the like. Sample URLs should use example.com which is safe for this purpose. Profanity is not allowed.
In order to maintain the permissive MIT license this project uses, all contributions must be your own and released under that license. Code you add should be an original work and should not be copied from elsewhere. Taking code from a different project, Stack Overflow, or the like is not allowed. The use of tools such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, LLMs (large language models), etc. that incorporate code from other projects is not allowed.
Thank you!
