Contributions are always welcome, no matter how large or small!
We want this community to be friendly and respectful to each other. Please follow it in all your interactions with the project. Before contributing, please read the code of conduct.
To get started with the project, run yarn
in the root directory to install the required dependencies for each package:
yarn
While it's possible to use
npm
, the tooling is built aroundyarn
, so you'll have an easier time if you useyarn
for development.
While developing, you can run the example app to test your changes. Any changes you make in your library's JavaScript code will be reflected in the example app without a rebuild. If you change any native code, then you'll need to rebuild the example app.
To start the packager:
yarn example start
To run the example app on Android:
yarn example android
To run the example app on iOS:
yarn example ios
Make sure your code passes TypeScript and ESLint. Run the following to verify:
yarn typecheck
yarn lint
To fix formatting errors, run the following:
yarn lint --fix
Remember to add tests for your change if possible. Run the unit tests by:
yarn test
To edit the Objective-C or Swift files, open example/ios/MosquitodbExample.xcworkspace
in XCode and find the source files at Pods > Development Pods > react-native-mosquitodb
.
To edit the Java or Kotlin files, open example/android
in Android studio and find the source files at react-native-mosquitodb
under Android
.
We follow the conventional commits specification for our commit messages:
fix
: bug fixes, e.g. fix crash due to deprecated method.feat
: new features, e.g. add new method to the module.refactor
: code refactor, e.g. migrate from class components to hooks.docs
: changes into documentation, e.g. add usage example for the module..test
: adding or updating tests, e.g. add integration tests using detox.chore
: tooling changes, e.g. change CI config.
Our pre-commit hooks verify that your commit message matches this format when committing.
We use TypeScript for type checking, ESLint with Prettier for linting and formatting the code, and Jest for testing.
Our pre-commit hooks verify that the linter and tests pass when committing.
We use release-it to make it easier to publish new versions. It handles common tasks like bumping version based on semver, creating tags and releases etc.
To publish new versions, run the following:
yarn release
The package.json
file contains various scripts for common tasks:
yarn bootstrap
: setup project by installing all dependencies and pods.yarn typecheck
: type-check files with TypeScript.yarn lint
: lint files with ESLint.yarn test
: run unit tests with Jest.yarn example start
: start the Metro server for the example app.yarn example android
: run the example app on Android.yarn example ios
: run the example app on iOS.
