First off, thank you for considering contributing to Dashy! There are two main ways you can help out: [Submitting a Pull Request](#submitting-a-pr) or [Raising an Issue](#raising-an-issue).
### Submitting a PR
Pull requests are proposed code changes, that can then be directly merged into Dashy's master branch and deployed to users. Even a small PR would be a big help.
Not sure what to work on? Here are some ideas:
- Fix a bug, or solve an open issue
- Improve the docs
- Add a new theme
- Implement a new widget
- Add more display options
- Refactor or improve an area of the code
- Implement a new feature, or improve an existing one
Before you submit your pull request, please ensure the following:
- Must be backwards compatible
- All lint checks and tests must pass
- If a new option in the the config file is added, it needs to be added into the schema, and documented in the configuring guide
- If a new dependency is required, it must be essential, and it must be thoroughly checked out for security or efficiency issues
Please also include the following information in your PR:
- PR type (bug fix, feature, code style updates, documentation, etc)
- Issue number (if applicable)
- A brief description of your changes
- A note confirming that your code follows the checklist (above)
#### Getting Started
To set up your development environment, and get Dashy running locally, please see: [Developing Docs](/docs/developing.md)
#### For new Contributors
If you have never created a pull request before, welcome :tada: :smile: [Here is a great tutorial](https://egghead.io/series/how-to-contribute-to-an-open-source-project-on-github)
on how to create a pull request..
1. [Fork](http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo/) the project, clone your fork,
and configure the remotes:
```bash
# Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<repo-name>
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory
cd <repo-name>
# Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
git remote add upstream https://github.com/hoodiehq/<repo-name>
```
2. If you cloned a while ago, get the latest changes from upstream:
```bash
git checkout master
git pull upstream master
```
3. Create a new topic branch (off the main project development branch) to
contain your feature, change, or fix:
```bash
git checkout -b <topic-branch-name>
```
4. Make sure to update, or add to the tests when appropriate. Patches and
features will not be accepted without tests. Run `yarn test` to check that
all tests pass after you've made changes.
5. If you added or changed a feature, make sure to document it accordingly in
the docs and if applicable, in the `README.md` file.
6. Push your topic branch up to your fork:
```bash
git push origin <topic-branch-name>
```
8. [Open a Pull Request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/)
with a clear title and description.
#### Testing the Production App
For larger pull requests, please also check that it works as expected in a production environment.
Testing production app in development environment:
- Natively
- Build: `yarn build`
- Run: `yarn start`
- With Docker:
- Build: `docker build -t dashy .`
- Run: `docker run -p 8080:80 dashy`
Please also ensure that running the following scripts return no errors:
- `yarn lint`
- `yarn test`
- `yarn validate-config`
A good resource for testing the Docker image on a totally fresh system, is by using [Play with Docker](https://labs.play-with-docker.com/). This will let you clone or pull your image, and spin up a container. This is useful for checking that everything behaves as it should on an independent system, and should get around the _'works on my computer'_ issue.
#### Merging a PR
Only maintainers can merge a PR. A pull request can only be merged if:
- All CI checks are passing
- It has been approved by either the author, or at least two maintainers
- It has no requested changes
- It is up to date with current master
