Contributing to Chart.js
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Contributions to Chart.js are welcome and encouraged, but please have a look through the guidelines in this document before raising an issue, or writing code for the project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using issues
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The [issue tracker](https://github.com/nnnick/Chart.js/issues) is the preferred channel for reporting bugs, requesting new features and submitting pull requests.
|
|
|
|
If you're suggesting a new chart type, please take a look at [writing new chart types](https://github.com/nnnick/Chart.js/blob/master/docs/06-Advanced.md#writing-new-chart-types) in the documentation, and some of the [community extensions](https://github.com/nnnick/Chart.js/blob/master/docs/06-Advanced.md#community-extensions) that have been created already.
|
|
|
|
To keep the library lightweight for everyone, it's unlikely we'll add many more chart types to the core of Chart.js, but issues are a good medium to design and spec out how new chart types could work and look.
|
|
|
|
Please do not use issues for support requests. For help using Chart.js, please take a look at the [`chartjs`](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/chartjs) tag on Stack Overflow.

Reporting bugs
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Well structured, detailed bug reports are hugely valuable for the project.
|
|
|
|
Guidlines for reporting bugs:
|
|
|
|
- Check the issue search to see if it has already been reported
|
|
- Isolate the problem to a simple test case
|
|
- Provide a demonstration of the problem on [JS Bin](http://jsbin.com) or similar
|
|
|
|
Please provide any additional details associated with the bug, if it's browser or screen density specific, or only happens with a certain configuration or data.
|
|
|

Pull requests
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Clear, concise pull requests are excellent at continuing the project's community driven growth. But please review [these guidelines](https://github.com/blog/1943-how-to-write-the-perfect-pull-request) and the guidelines below before starting work on the project.
|
|
|
|
Guidlines:
|
|
|
|
- Please create an issue first:
|
|
- For bugs, we can discuss the fixing approach
|
|
- For enhancements, we can discuss if it is within the project scope and avoid duplicate effort
|
|
- Please make changes to the files in [`/src`](https://github.com/nnnick/Chart.js/tree/master/src), not `Chart.js` or `Chart.min.js` in the repo root directory, this avoids merge conflicts
|
|
- Tabs for indentation, not spaces please
|
|
- If adding new functionality, please also update the relevant `.md` file in [`/docs`](https://github.com/nnnick/Chart.js/tree/master/docs)
|
|
- Please make your commits in logical sections with clear commit messages
|
|
