Thanks for taking the time to contribute! 🎉 🎊 👍

First, clone the Blueprint monorepo:
git clone [email protected]:palantir/blueprint.git
Install Node.js
If you haven't already, you'll need to install Node.js. Use an official installer, or use a utility for managing versions such as Node Version Manager.
Go to the root directory of this repository and install its dependencies:
cd blueprint
npm install
npm run bootstrap
Start a new feature branch. We use a format like [your-initials]/[short-name]
.
For example:
bd/laser-beams
bd/jittery-cells
bd/css-class-renames
To create a new branch for development, run:
git fetch
git checkout -b your-initials/your-branch-name origin/master
Many of the packages have their own compile-and-watch preview tasks which will help you confirm that your features are working.
To start the compile-and-watch task, run the default script in the package directory.
cd packages/table
npm start
Once the preview server is running, navigate to http://localhost:8080.
While reviewing your changes, we use
previews
to demonstrate the functionality of various table features. The relevant package
previews will also be automatically added to your pull request.
Feel free to modify the examples in the previews to test your code changes. When
you modify the code in src/
or preview/
, the code will be automatically
recompiled and you can simply refresh to see the result.
Once you're satisfied with your changes, you'll need to make sure your code will pass code review.
Your code must be test covered and lint free.
Run all unit tests and measure code coverage:
npm run test
If the coverage check fails, you may have to add a new suite of tests or
modify existing tests in test/
.
Run code and style linters across all code:
npm run lint
These commands must complete successfully, otherwise our CI will automatically fail your pull request.
Once your code works and the tests and linter pass, you can submit your code for review!
git add --all .
git commit
git push
When committing, write a thorough description of your work so that reviewers and future developers can understand your code changes.
Once pushed, navigate to the code tab of the GitHub site and you should see an option to create a pull request from the recently pushed commit.
After your PR is created, our CI server will pick it up, run tests, and run a server with your version of the preview so that other engineers can verify your feature works as intended.
After this point, you may be asked to make modification to your code to adhere to coherent code style or to fix bugs you may have not noticed. Once you get approvals from 1 or 2 repository owners, we will merge your code! 🎊 🎉
