billboard.js is open to everyone, and we welcome any kinds of contribution. We believe that our project can grow with your interests in helping others' necessities.
billboard.js has several style guidelines that you must follow. Before your start, please read the below instructions carefully.
To maintain the code style and quality, we adopted ESLint. The rules are based on the Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide with some modifications.
billboard.js uses formatted commit logs for many different purposes (like creating CHANGELOG, ease history searching, etc.). To not break the current format, you'll be forced to follow our commit log guidelines. Before your commit/push, make sure follow our commit log guidelines.
The outline is as below:
<type>(<module>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>
-
- feat: A new feature
- fix: A bug fix
- docs: Documentation only changes
- style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code. Such as white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc.
- refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
- test: Adding missing tests. Changing tests.
- chore: Changes to the build process or tools and libraries such as documentation generation
- skip: For commits made by after the 1st commit. Usually for applying code review changes.
A short descriptive message part of the commit.
At the end, it should preferably contain related github issue number referenced by Ref #ISSUE-NO
