When you submit a pull request, a CLA bot will automatically determine whether you need to provide a CLA and decorate the PR appropriately (e.g., status check, comment). Simply follow the instructions provided by the bot. You will only need to do this once across all repos using our CLA.
This project has adopted the Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct. For more information see the Code of Conduct FAQ or contact [email protected] with any additional questions or comments.
Help us keep this project open and inclusive. Please read and follow our Code of Conduct.
If you find a bug in the source code or a mistake in the documentation, you can help us by submitting an issue to the GitHub Repository. Even better, you can submit a Pull Request with a fix.
You can request a new feature by submitting an issue to the GitHub Repository. If you would like to implement a new feature, please submit an issue with a proposal for your work first, to be sure that we can use it.
- Small Features can be crafted and directly submitted as a Pull Request.
Before you submit an issue, search the archive, maybe your question was already answered.
If your issue appears to be a bug, and hasn't been reported, open a new issue. Help us to maximize the effort we can spend fixing issues and adding new features, by not reporting duplicate issues. Providing the following information will increase the chances of your issue being dealt with quickly:
- Overview of the Issue - if an error is being thrown a non-minified stack trace helps
- Version - what version is affected (e.g. 0.1.2)
- Motivation for or Use Case - explain what are you trying to do and why the current behavior is a bug for you
- Browsers and Operating System - is this a problem with all browsers?
- Reproduce the Error - provide a live example or a unambiguous set of steps
- Related Issues - has a similar issue been reported before?
- Suggest a Fix - if you can't fix the bug yourself, perhaps you can point to what might be causing the problem (line of code or commit)
You can file new issues by providing the above information at the corresponding repository's issues link.
Before you submit your Pull Request (PR) consider the following guidelines:
-
Search the repository for an open or closed PR that relates to your submission. You don't want to duplicate effort.
-
Make your changes in a new git fork:
-
Commit your changes using a descriptive commit message
-
Push your fork to GitHub:
-
In GitHub, create a pull request
-
If we suggest changes then:
-
Make the required updates.
-
Rebase your fork and force push to your GitHub repository (this will update your Pull Request):
git rebase master -i git push -f
-
To ensure consistency throughout the source code, keep these rules in mind as you are working:
- All features or bug fixes must be tested by one or more specs (unit-tests).
- All public API methods must be documented.
We have very precise rules over how our git commit messages can be formatted. This leads to more readable messages that are easy to follow when looking through the project history. But also, we use the git commit messages to generate the Contoso Real Estate project change log.
We have very precise rules over how our Git commit messages must be formatted. This format leads to easier to read commit history.
Each commit message consists of a header, a body, and a footer.
<header>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>
The header is mandatory and must conform to the Commit Message Header
The body is mandatory for all commits except for those of type "docs".
When the body is present it must be at least 20 characters long and must conform to the Commit Message Body format.
The footer is optional. The Commit Message Footer format describes what the footer is used for and the structure it must have.
<type>(<scope>): <short summary>
│ │ │
│ │ └─⫸ Summary in present tense. Not capitalized. No period at the end.
│ │
│ └─⫸ Commit Scope: |portal|blog|api|testing|docs
│
└─⫸ Commit Type: build|ci|docs|feat|fix|perf|refactor|test
The <type> and <summary> fields are mandatory, the (<scope>) field is optional.
Must be one of the following:
buildcidocsfeatfixperfrefactortest
The scope should be the name of the npm package affected (as perceived by the person reading the changelog generated from commit messages).
The following is the list of supported scopes:
- portal: the Portal application written in Angular
- api: the serverless API written in Node.js
- blog: the Blob application written in Next.js
- cms: the CMS application using Strapi
- stripe: the Stripe API using Node.js and Fastly
- testing: the Playwright e2e testing
Use the summary field to provide a succinct description of the change:
- use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
- don't capitalize the first letter
- no dot (.) at the end
Just as in the summary, use the imperative, present tense: "fix" not "fixed" nor "fixes".
Explain the motivation for the change in the commit message body. This commit message should explain why you are making the change. You can include a comparison of the previous behavior with the new behavior in order to illustrate the impact of the change.
The footer can contain information about breaking changes and deprecations and is also the place to reference GitHub issues, ADO tickets, and other PRs that this commit closes or is related to.
For example:
BREAKING CHANGE: <breaking change summary>
<BLANK LINE>
<breaking change description + migration instructions>
<BLANK LINE>
<BLANK LINE>
Fixes #<issue number>
or
DEPRECATED: <what is deprecated>
<BLANK LINE>
<deprecation description + recommended update path>
<BLANK LINE>
<BLANK LINE>
Closes #<pr number>
Breaking Change section should start with the phrase "BREAKING CHANGE: " followed by a summary of the breaking change, a blank line, and a detailed description of the breaking change that also includes migration instructions.
Similarly, a Deprecation section should start with "DEPRECATED: " followed by a short description of what is deprecated, a blank line, and a detailed description of the deprecation that also mentions the recommended update path.
If the commit reverts a previous commit, it should begin with revert: , followed by the header of the reverted commit.
The content of the commit message body should contain:
- information about the SHA of the commit being reverted in the following format:
This reverts commit <SHA>, - a clear description of the reason for reverting the commit message.
That's it! Thank you for your contribution! 🚀
