Contributing

If you'd like to contribute to Pattern Lab Node, please do so! There is always a lot of ground to cover and something for your wheelhouse.

No pull request is too small. Check out any up for grabs issues as a good way to get your feet wet, or add some more unit tests.

Guidelines

1. Please keep your pull requests concise and limited to ONE substantive change at a time. This makes reviewing and testing so much easier.
2. ALWAYS submit pull requests against the dev branch. If this does not occur, I will first, try to redirect you gently, second, port over your contribution manually if time allows, and/or third, close your pull request. If you have a major feature to stabilize over time, talk to @bmuenzenmeyer about making a dedicated feature-branch
3. If you can, add some unit tests using the existing patterns in the ./test directory
4. To help hack on core from an edition, read this wiki page

Coding style

Two files combine within the project to define and maintain our coding style.

• The .editorconfig controls spaces / tabs within supported editors. Check out their site.
• The .eslintrc defines our javascript standards. Some editors will evaluate this real-time - otherwise it's run using grunt|gulp build

Gitter

The Pattern Lab Node team uses our gitter.im channel, pattern-lab/node to keep in sync, share updates, and talk shop. Please stop by to say hello or as a first place to turn if stuck. Other channels in the Pattern Lab organization can be found on gitter too.
