This document contains information and guidelines about contributing to this project. Please read it before you start participating.

Asking Questions

We don't use GitHub as a support forum. If you have issues with the APIs or have a question about the Watson services, see Stack Overflow.

Reporting Issues

See the issue template.

Coding Style

Contributions should follow the established coding style and conventions for this project, which are loosely based on The Official raywenderlich.com Swift Style Guide and Swift API Design Guidelines. The project is set up so that developers can use SwiftLint to check conformance to the coding style guidelines.

Pull Requests

If you want to contribute to the repository, here's a quick guide:

  1. Fork the repository.
  2. Copy Source/SupportingFiles/WatsonCredentialsExample.swift to Source/SupportingFiles/WatsonCredentials.swift.
  3. Add credentials to WatsonCredentials.swift for the services you plan to test.
  4. Develop and test your code changes.
    1. Please respect the original code style guide.
    2. Create minimal diffs - disable on save actions like reformat source code or organize imports. If you feel the source code should be reformatted create a separate PR for this change.
    3. Check for unnecessary whitespace with git diff --check before committing.
    4. Use commitizen to make commits (i.e. git cz instead of git commit).
      npm install -g commitizen cz-conventional-changelog
  echo '{ "path": "cz-conventional-changelog" }' > ~/.czrc
  5. Verify that tests pass successfully on both macOS and Linux. To run tests in Xcode, select the service's scheme and press cmd-u. Instructions on running the Swift tests on Linux while on a Mac can be found here.
  6. Push to your fork and submit a pull request to the develop branch.
