Contributing to MOTH

We love your input! We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:

  • Reporting a bug
  • Discussing the current state of the code
  • Submitting a fix
  • Proposing new features

We Develop with Github

We use github to host code, to track issues and feature requests, as well as accept pull requests.

We Use Gitflow, So All Code Changes Happen Through Pull Requests

Pull requests are the best way to propose changes to the codebase (we use Gitflow). We actively welcome your pull requests:

  1. Fork the repo and create your branch from master.
  2. If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
  3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
  4. Ensure the test suite passes.
  5. Make sure your code lints.
  6. Update CHANGELOG.md
  7. Issue that pull request!

We Deploy to a Variety of Architectures

MOTH is most often deployed using Docker, but we strive to ensure that it can easily be run outside of a Docker environment. Please ensure that and changes will not break or substantially alter Dockerized deployments and that, conversely, changes will not so substantially tie MOTH to Docker or particular Docker deployment that it becomes impracticle to run MOTH anywhere but inside of Docker

Any contributions you make will be under the TODO Software License

TODO: In short, when you submit code changes, your submissions are understood to be under the same MIT License that covers the project. Feel free to contact the maintainers if that's a concern.

Report bugs using Github's issues

We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Report a bug by opening a new issue; it's that easy!

Write bug reports with detail, background, and sample code

This is an example of a bug report I wrote, and I think it's not a bad model. Here's another example from Craig Hockenberry, an app developer whom I greatly respect.

Great Bug Reports tend to have:

  • A quick summary and/or background
  • Steps to reproduce
    • Be specific!
    • Give sample code if you can. My stackoverflow question includes sample code that anyone with a base R setup can run to reproduce what I was seeing
  • What you expected would happen
  • What actually happens
  • Notes (possibly including why you think this might be happening, or stuff you tried that didn't work)

People love thorough bug reports. I'm not even kidding.

Use a Consistent Coding Style

I'm again borrowing these from Facebook's Guidelines

  • 2 spaces for indentation rather than tabs
  • You can try running npm run lint for style unification

We use Javascript ASI
