Contributing

Thanks for contributing! Please read this document to follow our conventions for contributing to the mParticle Aquarium Library.

Setting Up

  • Clone the repository and run npm install
  • Run npm start to start storybook

Testing in Nancy codebase

In order to test your changes, you will need to link the local version of the library. To do this, run the following commands:

  • Make sure to have the library built by running npx vite build. The linked version will use the build files from dist/ folder.
  • Make sure the resolve.symlinks property in you webpack config is set to false
  • yarn link in the root of the library
  • yarn link @mparticle/aquarium in the root of Nancy
  • Make sure your /node_modules/@mparticle/aquarium folder contains all of the Aquarium code

Testing in Indicative codebase

TODO

Testing by installing from a branch

Another way to test your changes is by installing the library from a branch. To do this, we need to push the dist/ folder to the remote and install it directly from there with the following command:

yarn add https://github.com/mParticle/aquarium#<branch-name>

Testing by releasing an ad-hoc version

To test ad-hoc versions of the Aquarium we use feat/, fix/ or chore/ branchs on Github and their corresponding distribution channels on npm. This allows us to release specific versions for testing specific features and install them on the platforms. To release it, just run the Github Action from the the branch you want to release.

Release Process

We use semantic-release for releasing new versions of the library. You can use the Github Release Aquarium action from the main to release from it.

Important

Before releasing a version from main, send a message in the #aquarium Slack channel to align it and sync on other changes that can/should be included in the release.

Commit conventions and PR titles

  • We use conventional commits to help automating the release process. Both PR titles and commit messages should follow this convention.
  • This repo is commitizen friendly so we can use git cz to commit changes. npx cz is also available if you don't have commitizen installed globally.
  • We also have a commitlint setup to enforce the commit message format.

The standard format for commit messages is as follows:

<type>[optional scope]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer]

The following lists the different types allowed in the commit message:

  • feat: A new feature (automatic minor release)
  • fix: A bug fix (automatic patch release)
  • docs: Documentation only changes
  • style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
  • refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
  • perf: A code change that improves performance
  • test: Adding missing or correcting existing tests
  • chore: Changes that don't modify src or test files, such as automatic documentation generation, or building latest assets
  • ci: Changes to CI configuration files/scripts
  • revert: Revert commit
  • build: Changes that affect the build system or other dependencies

In the footer, if there is a breaking change, start your footer with BREAKING CHANGE: followed by a description.

Editor configuration

Contributing with the release process

To make changes to the release process, you can use the --dry-run from semantic-release flag to test the release process without actually publishing a new version.

You will need two environment variables to run the release process locally:

  • NPM_TOKEN: You can create a personal npm account and use a personal token. Since we are using --dry-run it won't try to publish anything so having a valid read-only npm token works.

  • GITHUB_TOKEN: Create a github personal access token (classic) and give it access to the mParticle organization via "Configure SSO" button.

After settings both variables locally, run the following locally:

npx semantic-release --dry-run
