How to setup to develop

To get started clone all json-schema-form library repos into sibling folders. json-schema-form-core angular-schema-form angular-schema-form-bootstrap angular-schema-form-material

Once cloned each repo has npm commands for assisting development

# Run unit tests
npm run test

# Run the build
npm run build

# Run the build and minify
npm run dist # not in json-schema-form-core

# Run the build and watch for changes
npm run watch

How to build the package

When working on angular-schema-form running the npm build will look for a sibling folder when importing json-schema-form-core. This allows you to work on bugs or issues that require work on both libraries simultaneously.

This is set up for bootstrap and material design decorators also.

The bootstrap repo is required to build angular-schema-form with the bootstrap decorator bundle distribution.

Working on the libraries

When I work on the libraries I use a multi-tab console tool like Terminator (Linux) or ConEmu (Windows)

Run each of the following in a separate tab:

json-schema-form-core> npm run watch
json-schema-form-core> npm run test
angular-schema-form> npm run watch
angular-schema-form> npm run test

This will re-compile all the libraries after changes that affect them which then runs the related tests.

A static file web server is required to run the examples, but the example can be used to run saved gist of the example app. It can help to add a model to one of the example app json files to test with.

PR requirements

We love contributions!

Please base any merge request on the development branch instead of master.

The reason for this is that we're trying to use git flow, and it makes merging your pull request a heck of a lot easier for us.

Please avoid including anything from the dist/ directory as that can make merging harder, and we always generate these files when we make a new release.

If you are using this library with another repo other than ASF it must still maintain compatibility with ASF which is why the instructions for ASF are above, eventually there will be enough test cases that you wont need to test both, but we aren't there yet.

The bootstrap decorator, has been moved to it's own repo. It's here github.com/json-schema-form/angular-schema-form-bootstrap

Feel free to submit issues on the main repo anyway though.

If its a new field type consider making it an add-on instead, especially if it has external dependencies. See extending Schema Form documentation.

With new features we love to see updates to the docs as well as tests, that makes it super easy and fast for us to merge it!

Also consider running any code through the code style checker jscs (or even better use it in your editor) with preset set to google. You can also use gulp jscs to check your code. I hope to set up ESLint in the not too distant future.
