Looking to contribute something to typeahead.js? Here's how you can help.
A bug is a demonstrable problem that is caused by the code in the repository. Good bug reports are extremely helpful – thank you!
Guidelines for bug reports:
Use the GitHub issue search — check if the issue has already been reported.
Check if the issue has been fixed — try to reproduce it using the
latest master
or integration branch in the repository.
Isolate the problem — ideally create a reduced test case and a live example.
Please try to be as detailed as possible in your report. Include specific information about the environment – operating system and version, browser and version, version of typeahead.js – and steps required to reproduce the issue.
Feature requests are welcome. But take a moment to find out whether your idea fits with the scope and aims of the project. It's up to you to make a strong case for the inclusion of your feature. Please provide as much detail and context as possible.
Contribution enquiries should take place before any significant pull request, otherwise you risk spending a lot of time working on something that we might have good reasons for rejecting.
Good pull requests – patches, improvements, new features – are a fantastic help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated commits.
Make sure to adhere to the coding conventions used throughout the codebase (indentation, accurate comments, etc.) and any other requirements (such as test coverage).
Please follow this process; it's the best way to get your work included in the project:
bash
# Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/typeahead.js
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory
cd <repo-name>
# Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
git remote add upstream git://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js
bash
git checkout master
git pull upstream master
bash
npm install
bower install
git checkout -b <topic-branch-name>
Make sure to update, or add to the tests when appropriate. Patches and
features will not be accepted without tests. Run npm test
to check that
all tests pass after you've made changes.
Commit your changes in logical chunks. Provide clear and explanatory commit messages. Use Git's interactive rebase feature to tidy up your commits before making them public.
Locally merge (or rebase) the upstream development branch into your topic branch:
bash
git pull [--rebase] upstream master
bash
git push origin <topic-branch-name>
Open a Pull Request with a clear title and description.
If you are asked to amend your changes before they can be merged in, please
use git commit --amend
(or rebasing for multi-commit Pull Requests) and
force push to your remote feature branch. You may also be asked to squash
commits.
