Contributing

This document briefly lists the guidelines for contributing to JSON Editor.

Reporting Bugs

When creating an issue in GitHub, try to include when feasible:

  • A brief description of the issue
  • An example JSON schema that causes the issue
  • Steps to reproduce

If you can reproduce the issue on the demo page (http://jeremydorn.com/json-editor/), it's helpful to attach the "Direct Link" url (top right of page). Note: the direct link might not work for very large schemas or JSON values.

Contributing Code

One of the major goals of JSON Editor is to be easy to modify and hack.

If you fix a bug or add a cool feature, plase submit a pull request!

Code Style

  • Use 2 spaces for indentation
  • Use comments whenever the code's meaning is not obvious
  • When in doubt, try to match the style in existing source files

###Grunt

The easiest way to hack on JSON Editor is to run grunt watch, which re-builds dist/jsoneditor.js every time a source file changes.

To do a full grunt build which includes jshint and minification, run grunt.

Submitting Pull Requests

Try to limit pull requests to a single narrow feature or bug fix.

Do not submit dist/ files!

The following is done when a pull request is accepted. There is no need to do any of these steps yourself.

  1. Merge pull request into master
  2. Increment version number in src/intro.js and bower.json. Set date in src/intro.js.
  3. Build dist/ files with grunt
  4. Commit and push to github
  5. Add a git tag and release for this version with a short changelog

Sometimes, multiple pull requests will be merged before doing steps 2-5.
