Status

JS Zero is currently in the prototype stage. You can see the source code progress here: https://github.com/js-zero/type-checker

Contributing

JS Zero is currently in its design phase. We're employing Readme-Driven Development.

There are three ways you can contribute:

• Discuss - help decide what exactly JS Zero should do, and techniques on how to do it!
• Maintain - help keep the docs (this repo) up to date.
• Contribute (not yet) - once the spec is closer to being final, help write code that web developers will use everywhere.

Building the Docs

You don't have to build the docs to contribute – you only need to submit a PR for something in the docs/ folder. This is mostly for the doc website publisher.

Commands

• mkdocs new [dir-name] - Create a new project.
• mkdocs serve - Start the live-reloading docs server.
• mkdocs build - Build the documentation site.
• mkdocs help - Print this help message.
