+Contributing to Select2
|
|
|
+=======================
|
|
|
+Looking to contribute something to Select2? **Here's how you can help.**
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Please take a moment to review this document in order to make the contribution
|
|
|
+process easy and effective for everyone involved.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Following these guidelines helps to communicate that you respect the time of
|
|
|
+the developers managing and developing this open source project. In return,
|
|
|
+they should reciprocate that respect in addressing your issue or assessing
|
|
|
+patches and features.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Using the issue tracker
|
|
|
+-----------------------
|
|
|
+When [reporting bugs][reporting-bugs] or
|
|
|
+[requesting features][requesting-features], the
|
|
|
+[issue tracker on GitHub][issue-tracker] is the recommended channel to use.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The issue tracker **is not** a place for support requests. The
|
|
|
+[mailing list][mailing-list] or [IRC channel][irc-channel] are better places to
|
|
|
+get help.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Reporting bugs with Select2
|
|
|
+---------------------------
|
|
|
+We really appreciate clear bug reports that _consistently_ show an issue
|
|
|
+_within Select2_.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The ideal bug report follows these guidelines:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+1. **Use the [GitHub issue search][issue-search]** — Check if the issue
|
|
|
+ has already been reported.
|
|
|
+2. **Check if the issue has been fixed** — Try to reproduce the problem
|
|
|
+ using the code in the `master` branch.
|
|
|
+3. **Isolate the problem** — Try to create an
|
|
|
+ [isolated test case][isolated-case] that consistently reproduces the problem.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Please try to be as detailed as possible in your bug report, especially if an
|
|
|
+isolated test case cannot be made. Some useful questions to include the answer
|
|
|
+to are:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- What steps can be used to reproduce the issue?
|
|
|
+- What is the bug and what is the expected outcome?
|
|
|
+- What browser(s) and Operating System have you tested with?
|
|
|
+- Does the bug happen consistently across all tested browsers?
|
|
|
+- What version of jQuery are you using? And what version of Select2?
|
|
|
+- Are you using Select2 with other plugins?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+All of these questions will help people fix and identify any potential bugs.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Requesting features in Select2
|
|
|
+------------------------------
|
|
|
+Select2 is a large library that carries with it a lot of functionality. Because
|
|
|
+of this, many feature requests will not be implemented in the core library.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Before starting work on a major feature for Select2, **contact the
|
|
|
+[community][community] first** or you may risk spending a considerable amount of
|
|
|
+time on something which the project developers are not interested in bringing
|
|
|
+into the project.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Select2 4.0
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Many feature requests will be closed off until 4.0, where Select2 plans to adopt
|
|
|
+a more flexible API. If you are interested in helping with the development of
|
|
|
+the next major Select2 release, please send a message to the
|
|
|
+[mailing list][mailing-list] or [irc channel][irc-channel] for more information.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Triaging issues and pull requests
|
|
|
+---------------------------------
|
|
|
+Anyone can help the project maintainers triage issues and review pull requests.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Handling new issues
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Select2 regularly receives new issues which need to be tested and organized.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+When a new issue that comes in that is similar to another existing issue, it
|
|
|
+should be checked to make sure it is not a duplicate. Duplicates issues should
|
|
|
+be marked by replying to the issue with "Duplicate of #[issue number]" where
|
|
|
+`[issue number]` is the url or issue number for the existing issue. This will
|
|
|
+allow the project maintainers to quickly close off additional issues and keep
|
|
|
+the discussion focused within a single issue.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If you can test issues that are reported to Select2 that contain test cases and
|
|
|
+confirm under what conditions bugs happen, that will allow others to identify
|
|
|
+what causes a bug quicker.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Reviewing pull requests
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+It is very common for pull requests to be opened for issues that contain a clear
|
|
|
+solution to the problem. These pull requests should be rigorously reviewed by
|
|
|
+the community before being accepted. If you are not sure about a piece of
|
|
|
+submitted code, or know of a better way to do something, do not hesitate to make
|
|
|
+a comment on the pull request.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+It should also be made clear that **all code contributed to Select** must be
|
|
|
+licensable under the [Apache 2 or GPL 2 licenses][licensing]. Code that cannot
|
|
|
+be released under either of these licenses **cannot be accepted** into the
|
|
|
+project.
