This project and everyone participating in it are governed by our Code of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code.

To report a bug, submit an issue with the label bug. Please ensure the bug has not already been reported. If the bug is a potential security vulnerability, please report it using our security policy.
Providing the following information will increase the chances of your issue being dealt with quickly:
- Overview of the Issue - if an error is being thrown a non-minified stack trace helps
- Toolchain and Environment Details - which versions of libraries, toolchain, platform etc
- Motivation for or Use Case - explain what are you trying to do and why the current behavior is a bug for you
- Browsers and Operating System - is this a problem with all browsers?
- Reproduce the Error - provide a live example or a unambiguous set of steps
- Screenshots - maybe screenshots can help the team to triage issues far more quickly than a text description
- Related Issues - has a similar issue been reported before?
- Suggest a Fix - if you can't fix the bug yourself, perhaps you can point to what might be causing the problem (line of code or commit)
You can help the team even more by submitting changes with a fix.
To suggest a feature or enhancement, please submit an issue with the label enhancement. Please ensure the feature or enhancement has not already been suggested.
Please consider what kind of change it is:
- For a Major Feature, first open an issue and outline your proposal so that it can be discussed. This will also allow us to better coordinate our efforts, prevent duplication of work, and help you to craft the change so that it is successfully accepted into the project.
- Small Features can be crafted and directly submitted changes.
