Contributing

  1. Create a new issue before starting your project so that we can keep track of what you are trying to add/fix. That way, we can also offer suggestions or let you know if there is already an effort in progress.
  2. Fork this repository.
  3. The README has details on how to set up your environment.
  4. Create a topic branch in your fork based on main. Note, this step is recommended but technically not required if contributing using a fork.
  5. Edit the code in your fork.
  6. Sign CLA (see CLA below)
  7. Send us a pull request when you are done. We'll review your code, suggest any needed changes, and merge it in.

Committing

  • We follow Conventional Commit messages. The most important prefixes you should have in mind are:

    • fix: which represents bug fixes, and correlates to a SemVer patch.
    • feat: which represents a new feature, and correlates to a SemVer minor.
    • feat!:, or fix!:, refactor!:, etc., which represent a breaking change (indicated by the !) and will result in a SemVer major.

  • We enforce coding styles using eslint and prettier. Use yarn lint to check.

  • Before git commit and push, Husky runs hooks to ensure the commit message is in the correct format and that everything lints and compiles properly.

Branches

  • main is the only long-lived branch in this repository. It must always be healthy.
  • We want to keep the commit history clean and as linear as possible.
  • To this end, we integrate topic branches onto main using merge commits only of the history of the branch is clean and meaningful and the branch doesn't contain merge commits itself.
  • If the branch history is not clean, we squash the changes into a single commit before merging.

Releases

The release process and CHANGELOG generation is automated using release-please, which is triggered from Github actions.

After every commit that lands on main, release-please updates (or creates) a release PR on github for every package on this mono-repo. These PRs include the version number changes to package.json and the updates necessary for the CHANGELOG (which are inferred from the commit messages).

To perform a release, simply merge the release PR to main. After this happens, the automation scripts will create a git tag, publish the packages to NPM and create a release entry on github.

Before merging the release PR, manual changes can be made on the release branch, including changes to the CHANGELOG.
