Contributing

Contributions are welcome and are greatly appreciated! Every little bit helps, and credit will always be given. By contributing, you agree to abide by the code of conduct.

Reporting Issues and Asking Questions

For support or usage questions like “how do I do X with react-sketchapp” and “my code doesn't work”, please search and ask on StackOverflow with a react-sketchapp tag first.

We ask you to do this because StackOverflow has a much better job at keeping popular questions visible. Unfortunately good answers get lost and outdated on GitHub.

Some questions take a long time to get an answer. If your question gets closed or you don't get a reply on StackOverflow for longer than a few days, we encourage you to post an issue linking to your question. We will close your issue but this will give people watching the repo an opportunity to see your question and reply to it on StackOverflow if they know the answer.

Please be considerate when doing this as this is not the primary purpose of the issue tracker.

Help Us Help You

On both websites, it is a good idea to structure your code and question in a way that is easy to read to entice people to answer it. For example, we encourage you to use syntax highlighting, indentation, and split text in paragraphs.

Please keep in mind that people spend their free time trying to help you. You can make it easier for them if you provide versions of the relevant libraries and a runnable small project reproducing your issue. You can put your code on JSBin or, for bigger projects, on GitHub. Make sure all the necessary dependencies are declared in package.json so anyone can run npm install && npm start and reproduce your issue.

Sending a Pull Request

For non-trivial changes, please open an issue with a proposal for a new feature or refactoring before starting work — we don't want you to waste your time on a pull request that won't be accepted.

On the other hand, sometimes the best way to start a discussion is to send a pull request. Use your judgement!

In general, the contribution workflow looks like this:

  • Open a new issue in the Issue tracker.
  • Fork the repo.
  • Create a new feature branch based off the master branch.
  • Make sure all tests pass and there are no linting errors.
  • Submit a pull request, referencing any issues it addresses.

Please try to keep your pull request focused in scope and avoid including unrelated commits.

After you have submitted your pull request, we'll try to get back to you as soon as possible. We may suggest some changes or improvements.

Thank you for contributing!
