Creating an issue

If you found a bug or want to make an improvement in the library please check whether the same issue already exists in the list of issues↗. If you don’t find the issue there, create a new one↗ including a description of the problem.

Sending a Pull Request

  1. 🐙 Fork and clone the repository.
  2. 🗜️ Install dependencies from the root of the repo, node@18 and npm@8 required.
    Terminal window
    npm i
    All needed dependencies for all packages will be installed automatically, but only @reatom/framework dependencies (core, utils, async and a few more) will be builded.
  3. 🔨 Build needed package from the root of the repo.
    Terminal window
    npx turbo run build --filter=PACKAGE_NAME
    Replace PACKAGE_NAME with the name of the package you want to build. For example, npm-react or persist. The turbo↗ will handle all dependencies and build all required graph.
  4. 🎨 Create a feature-branch from v3 branch that starts from the number of the created issue.
  5. 🧪 If you want to fix a bug, write reproduction tests first.
  6. 🪄 Make changes.
  7. 🧪 If you added a feature, write tests for it.
  8. 📝 Record the changes according to conventional rules.
    Terminal window
    $ git commit -m "<type>[optional scope]: <description>"
  9. 💍 Send the changes to GitHub and create Pull Request↗ to the v3 branch.
  10. 🔗 Link the Pull Request and issue with keyword↗ or provide description with motivation and explanation in the comment. Example: fix #74.
  11. ⏳ Wait for a decision about accepting the changes.

Create a new package

We want to grow a huge ecosystem of packages for Reatom and made an adapters for most popular web APIs and NPM libraries. If you want to help with it, please follow the instructions of Sending a Pull Request section, but on the third step you should add a new package to the packages directory We have a handy generator for it, run the following command from the root of the repo and follow the displayed instructions.

Terminal window
npm run package-generator

Edit the author field and add yourself to the maintainers list of the package.json of the new package.

If you need to add dependencies, add them manually to the package.json of the new package and install them from the root of the repo.

Codestyle rules

  1. use // @ts-ignore if you not sure why error appears or you think it could be better, use // @ts-expect-error if you sure that error is a mistake.
