Contributing

Thanks for your interest in React-Select. All forms of contribution are welcome, from issue reports to PRs and documentation / write-ups.

  • We use node.js v4 for development and testing. Due to incompatibilities with JSDOM and older versions of node.js, you'll need to use node 4 to run the tests. If you can't install node v4 as your "default" node installation, you could try using nvm to install multiple versions concurrently.
  • If you're upgrading your node.js 0.x environment, it's sometimes necessary to remove the node_modules directory under react-select, and run npm install again, in order to ensure all the correct dependencies for the new version of node.js (as a minimum, you'll need to remove the jsdom module, and reinstall that).

Before you open a PR:

  • If you're planning to add or change a major feature in a PR, please ensure the change is aligned with the project roadmap by opening an issue first, especially if you're going to spend a lot of time on it.

  • In development, run npm start to build (+watch) the project source, and run the development server.

  • Please ensure all the examples work correctly after your change. If you're adding a major new use-case, add a new example demonstrating its use.

  • Please do not commit the build files. Make sure only your changes to /src/, /less/ and /examples/src are included in your PR.

  • Be careful to follow the code style of the project. Run npm run lint after your changes and ensure you do not introduce any new errors or warnings.

  • Ensure that your effort is aligned with the project's roadmap by talking to the maintainers, especially if you are going to spend a lot of time on it.

  • Make sure there's an issue open for any work you take on and intend to submit as a pull request - it helps core members review your concept and direction early and is a good way to discuss what you're planning to do.

  • If you open an issue and are interested in working on a fix, please let us know. We'll help you get started, rather than adding it to the queue.

  • Make sure you do not add regressions by running npm test.

  • Where possible, include tests with your changes, either that demonstrates the bug, or tests the new functionality. If you're not sure how to test your changes, feel free to ping @bruderstein

  • Run npm run cover to check that the coverage hasn't dropped, and look at the report (under the generated coverage directory) to check that your changes are covered

  • Please follow our established coding conventions (with regards to formatting, etc)

  • You can also run npm run lint and npm run style - our linter is a WIP but please ensure there are not more violations than before your changes.

  • All new features and changes need documentation. We have three translations, please read our Documentation Guidelines.

  • Make sure you revert your build before submitting a PR to reduce the chance of conflicts. gulp build-scripts is run after PRs are merged and before any releases are made.
