Contribution Guidelines

Before you start

Please make sure you've read our Mission Statement and FAQ.

Thank you

Second: Thank you for trying to make valuable contributions to help us improve the generator. It's people like you who make the whole open source community what it is! <3.

Code is a team effort, talk to us!

Unless you're fixing a minor issue (typo, one-liner, small config, ...) please talk to us before starting to code right away. We'd hate to see you investing a lot of time only to find out that you built something that we don't need or something that is of interest but not in line with our coding guidelines. The best way to get us aboard is the following:

  1. have a good and precise idea
  2. create an issue and briefly explain what you think
  3. wait till we join the discussion
  4. if we like what you're suggesting you (or somebody else) can start implementing
  5. when all work is done, create a pull-request that is linked to your issue

Need help, get help

If you're a new contributor or just having trouble getting some feature to work properly we're happy to point you in the right directions.

Pull-requests

Once you issue a pull-request, we'll work with you until your changes can be merged

  • briefly explain what you did and link to the issue you are working on
  • create only a few and logical commits with brief and precise commit messages
  • make only necessary changes, that belong to a specific issue. If you're working on several issues, create several pull-requests.
  • write test whenever you can!

Getting your hands dirty

  1. fork our repository [ github help ]
  2. clone your fork
  3. navigate to your local clone
  4. create an issue branch
  5. run gulp watch to automatically run the tests as you make changes or run npm test to run the tests only one time
  6. implement your changes
  7. generate and test project manually (see table below)
  8. submit your pull-request (to merge into dev! not master)

gulp watch / npm test

Both will perform eslint and jsonlint checks, tests are run and istanbul for code coverage. The results are printed to the terminal. Detailed information on code coverage on every file can be found in coverage/lcov-report/index.html. Please make sure your code is compliant and code coverage is as high as possible. Your pull-request will be built using travis and the reports will be shown in the pull-request.

Manually test generated project

We'll tell you which commands you need to run for your PR to be accepted. Unfortunately we haven't found a good way to automate this. If you have an idea please let us know.

result command to test in generated project
ok gulp --cordova
ok gulp watch
ok gulp build / gulp watch-build
ok gulp karma
ok gulp protractor
ok gulp contrib-linting

CLI options for debugging and development

yo m-ionic --appName='App Name' # set appName via CLI
yo m-ionic --skip-welcome-message # skips welcome message
yo m-ionic --skip-sdk # skip adding cordova platforms and plugins (sdk-specific tasks) for travis
yo m-ionic --skip-install # for debugging purposes, no npm and bower install
yo m-ionic --skip-prompts # for debugging purposes, run with predefined answers
yo m-ionic --ios-only # in conjunction with --skip-prompts
yo m-ionic --android-only # in conjunction with --skip-prompts
yo m-ionic --no-cordova # in conjunction with --skip-prompts, no platforms/plugins
yo m-ionic --ionic-cloud # in conjunction with --skip-prompts
