Want to contribute? Great! First, read this page — including the section on licensing your contribution.
After cloning the repository, use npm or yarn to install dependencies and run package commands. Examples using npm but the same commands work with yarn:
- Run
npm install
to get all the dependencies. - Run
npm test
to lint and test your changes. - Run
npm run dist
to generate the minified version. - Run
npm start
to spawn a web server and load the demo in a browser.
The demo allows you to test reporting errors from the local library with your own API key and project ID, see the network tab of your browser dev tools for the specific requests that get sent. Note you can expect to see CORS preflight requests but the behaviour once deployed can vary.
All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We use Github pull requests for this purpose. Once submitted, Travis CI will automatically run the tests on your change, please check that this passes.
Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in touch with us first through the issue tracker with your idea so that we can help out and possibly guide you. Coordinating up front makes it much easier to avoid frustration later on.
Before we can use your code, you must sign the Google Individual Contributor License Agreement or 'CLA', which you can do online.
The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the copyright to your changes, even after your contribution becomes part of our codebase, so we need your permission to use and distribute your code. We also need to be sure of various other things — for instance that you'll tell us if you know that your code infringes on other people's patents. You don't have to sign the CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a member has approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our codebase.
Contributions made by corporations are covered by a different agreement than the one above, the Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement.
