Style & Linting

This codebase adheres to the Airbnb Styleguide and is enforced using ESLint.

It is recommended that you install an eslint plugin for your editor of choice when working on this codebase, however you can always check to see if the source code is compliant by running:

npm run lint

Building Docs

Building the docs locally is extremely simple. First execute the following command:

npm run docs:watch

After this, you can open up your browser to the specified port (usually http://localhost:4000 )

The browser will automatically refresh when there are changes to any of the source files.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request from your forked repo, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated as part of the same PR.
  2. If the pull request adds functionality, code in the example app that demonstrates the new functionality should be updated as part of the same PR.
  3. If the pull request adds functionality, the PR description should include motivation and use cases for the feature.
  4. If the pull request fixes a bug, an explanation including what the bug was, and how to reproduce it should be included in the PR description.
  5. Please rebase and resolve all conflicts before submitting.
