Contributing

Thank you for your interest in contributing! Please feel free to put up a PR for any issue or feature request. Even if you have little to no experience with React Native, we'll be more than happy to help :)

Gitter

Please don't hesitate to join our gitter! Technical points of discussion, general questions and suggestions or anything at all - we would love to chat about it.

Issues

Creating issues

If you notice any bugs in the app, see some code that can be improved, or have features you would like to be added, please create an issue!

If you want to open a PR that fixes a bug or adds a feature, then we can't thank you enough! It is definitely appreciated if an issue has been created before-hand so it can be discussed first.

Working on issues

Please feel free to take on any issue that's currently open. Feel free to resolve any issue that you would enjoy working on even if it happens to be a low priority.

Setup

  1. Fork the repo
  2. Clone your fork
  3. Make a branch for your feature or bug fix
  4. Follow the React Native Guide for learning how to get started with building a project with native iOS code (a Mac is required)
  5. The CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET in api/index.js are for development purposes and do not represent the actual application keys. Feel free to use them or use a new set of keys by creating an OAuth application of your own.
    • Set the "Authorization callback URL" to gitpoint://welcome.
  6. yarn to install dependencies
  7. yarn run link to link react-native dependencies
  8. Use one of the following commands depending on the target platform:
    • yarn start:ios to start the packager and run the app in the iOS simulator (yarn start:ios:logger will boot the application with redux-logger)
    • yarn start:android to start the packager and run the app in the the Android device/emulator (yarn start:android:logger will boot the application with redux-logger)
  9. Work your magic! Run the app on an actual device as well to test your feature/fix.
  10. Add yourself to the contributor's list by doing yarn contributors:add
  11. Commit your changes with a message following the Angular commit conventions
    • Commitizen works with this repo. You can install the CLI globally (yarn global add commitizen) where you can then create formatted commit messages with git cz by filling out a few required fields
  12. Push your branch to your fork
  13. Create a pull request from your branch on your fork to master on this repo
  14. Have your branch get merged in! 🌟

If you experience a problem at any point, please don't hesitate to file an issue or send me a message!

Translations

Translation contributions are always welcome! If you happen to speak/read any language fluently and feel comfortable translating all the strings, please don't hesitate to open an issue to suggest including it and/or submitting a PR to include it. Here's how to add a new language:

  1. In the locales directory we just need to add a new file for a new language. We can just copy the en.js file (to es.js for Spanish for example) and swap out all the English text for that specific language.
  2. We'll need to then export that newly added file as well here.
  3. Next, we'll need to add the new lang object here.
  4. And lastly, in order for the language to be displayed in the options screen, we'll need to add a two-letter code in lowercase (for example: es for Spanish) and the native language name (for example: España for Spanish) to the language-settings.js file. Please make sure the two-letter code matches the code used for the moment library to allow for date/time compatibility (you can view the list here).
  5. Test out selecting your new translation and if it all looks good, submit that PR in! 😄

Troubleshooting

If you happen to see an error like below when you try to run the application:

error: bundling: UnableToResolveError: Unable to resolve module `config` from `/Users/frankdilo/projects/git-point/App.js`: Module does not exist in the module map or in these directories:
  /Users/{user}/projects/git-point/node_modules
  1. Please try running yarn start -- --reset-cache and then yarn run ios in a separate terminal window
  2. If that doesn't solve it, try the following commands:
    • Clear watchman watches: watchman watch-del-all.
    • Delete the node_modules folder: rm -rf node_modules && yarn.
    • Reset packager cache: rm -fr $TMPDIR/react-* or yarn start -- --reset-cache.
  3. If that sill doesn't solve it, please open an issue so we can figure out why it's not working for you

Financial contributions

We also welcome financial contributions in full transparency on our open collective. Anyone can file an expense. If the expense makes sense for the development of the community, it will be "merged" in the ledger of our open collective by the core contributors and the person who filed the expense will be reimbursed.
