Contribution Guide

I welcome contributions to this project. This guide outlines what's expected of you when you contribute, and what you can expect from me in return.

Table of Contents

What I expect from you

If you're going to contribute to this project, thanks! I have a few expectations of contributors:

  1. Follow the code of conduct
  2. Follow the technical contribution guidelines
  3. Be respectful of the time and energy that me and other contributors offer

What you can expect from me

If you're a contributor to this project, you can expect the following from me:

  1. I will enforce this project's code of conduct
  2. If I decide not to implement a feature or accept a PR, I will explain why

Contributing to this project does not:

  1. Guarantee you my (or any other contributor's) attention or time – I work on this in my free time and I make no promises about how quickly somebody will get back to you on a PR, Issue, or general query
  2. Mean your contribution will be accepted

Technical

To contribute to this project's code, clone this repo locally and commit your work on a separate branch. Open a pull-request to get your changes merged. If you're doing any large feature work, please make sure to have a discussion in an issue first – I'd rather not waste your time if it's not a feature I want to add to this project 🙂

I don't offer any guarantees on how long it will take me to review a PR or respond to an issue, as outlined here.

Committing

Commit messages must be written using conventional commits. This is how our release system knows what a given commit means.

<type>: <description>

[body]

The type can be any of feat, fix, docs or chore.

The prefix is used to calculate the Semantic Versioning release:

type when to use release level
feat a feature has been added minor
fix a bug has been patched patch
docs a change to documentation patch
chore repo maintenance and support tasks none

Indicate a breaking change by placing an ! between the type name and the colon, e.g.

feat!: add a breaking feature

We use commitlint to enforce these commit messages.

Linting

This project is linted using Biome. Please keep to the existing style. Biome errors will fail the build on any PRs:

npm run verify:biome

TypeScript

Although this project is written in JavaScript, it is checked with TypeScript to ensure type-safety. We also document all types with JSDoc so you should get type hints if your editor supports these.

Type errors will fail the build on any PRs. Most editors have a TypeScript plugin which will pick up errors, but you can also check types manually with the following command:

npm run verify:types
