If you run into any weird behavior while using Slate, feel free to open a new issue in this repository! To be most helpful, please include the steps to reproduce the bug as best you can, ideally including a JSFiddle with a working example of the bug.
Here's a JSFiddle template for Slate to get you started:
Questions are very welcome 😄! Previous questions that folks have asked are tagged with a question label, so before opening a new issue double-check that someone hasn't asked it before. But if you don't see anything, or if you're not sure if it's the same, err on the side of asking!
We've also got a Slate Slack team where you can ask questions and get answers from other people using Slate:
All pull requests are super welcomed and greatly appreciated! Easy issues are marked with an easy-one label if you're looking for a simple place to get familiar with the code base.
Please include tests and docs with every pull request!
To run the examples, you need to have the Slate repository cloned to your computer. After that, you need to cd into the directory where you cloned it, and install the dependencies from npm.
npm install
Which will also compile the source files. Then run the tests with:
npm run tests
If you need to debug something, you can add a debugger line to the source, and then run npm run tests debug. Or, if you only want to run a specific test or tests, you can run npm run tests -- --fgrep "match this string" flag which will filter the tests being run.
To keep the source rebuilding on every file change, you need to run an additional watching command:
npm run watch
Check out the Examples readme to see how to get the examples running locally!
Slate aims to targeted all of the modern browsers, and eventually the modern mobile platforms. Right now browser support is limited to the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, but if you are interested in adding support for another modern platform, that is welcomed!
