# Contribution Guidance
2021-04-24 14:11:53 -04:00
If you'd like to contribute to this repository, please read the following guidelines. Contributors are more than welcome to share their learnings with others in this centralized location.
## Code of Conduct
This project has adopted the [Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct](https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/).
For more information, see the [Code of Conduct FAQ](https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/faq/) or contact [opencode@microsoft.com](mailto:opencode@microsoft.com) with any additional questions or comments.
Remember that this repository is maintained by community members who volunteer their time to help. Be courteous and patient.
## Question or Problem?
Please do not open GitHub issues for general support questions as the GitHub list should be used for feature requests and bug reports. This way we can more easily track actual issues or bugs from the code and keep the general discussion separate from the actual code.
If you have questions about how to use SharePoint Framework or any of the provided samples, please use the following locations.
* [SharePoint Developer Space](http://aka.ms/SPPnP-Community) at http://techcommunity.microsoft.com
* [SharePoint Stack Exchange](http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/) with 'spfx' tag
## Typos, Issues, Bugs and contributions
Whenever you are submitting any changes to the SharePoint repositories, please follow these recommendations.
* Always fork the repository to your own account before making your modifications
* Do not combine multiple changes to one pull request. For example, submit any samples and documentation updates using separate PRs
2021-05-02 15:04:59 -04:00
* If your pull request shows merge conflicts, make sure to update your local main to be a mirror of what's in the main repo before making your modifications
2021-04-24 14:11:53 -04:00
* If you are submitting multiple samples, please create a specific PR for each of them
* If you are submitting typo or documentation fix, you can combine modifications to single PR where suitable
## Sample Naming and Structure Guidelines
When you submit a new sample, please follow these guidelines:
* Each sample must be placed in a folder under the `samples` folder
* Your sample folder must include the following content:
- Your solution's source code
- An `assets` folder, containing screenshots
- A `README.md` file
* You must only submit samples for which you have the rights to share. Make sure that you asked for permission from your employer and/or clients before committing the code to an open-source repository, because once you submit a pull request, the information is public and _cannot be removed_.
### Sample Folder
* When submitting a new sample solution, please name the sample solution folder accordingly
* Folder should start by identifying JS library used - like `react-`, `angular-`, `knockout-`
* If you are not using any specific JS library, please use `js-` as the prefix for your sample
* Do not use words such as `sample`, `webpart` or `wp` in the folder or sample name - these are samples for client-side web parts repository
* If your solution is demonstrating multiple technologies, please use functional terms as the name for the solution folder
* Do not use period/dot in the folder name of the provided sample
### Source Code
* For security reasons, we do not accept pull requests containing `.sppkg` files. We only accept source code files for applications.
* Make sure to place the root of your solution's source code in sample folder
### README.md
* You will need to have a `README.md` file for your contribution, which is based on [the provided template](../main/samples/README-template.md) under the `samples` folder. Please copy this template to your project and update it accordingly. Your `README.md` must be named exactly `README.md` -- with capital letters -- as this is the information we use to make your sample public.
2021-04-24 14:11:53 -04:00
* You will need to have a screenshot picture of your sample in action in the `README.md` file ("pics or it didn't happen"). The preview image must be located in the `assets` folder in the root of your sample folder.
* All screen shots must be located in the `assets` folder. Do not point to your own repository or any other external source
2021-12-20 10:27:27 -05:00
* The README template contains a specific tracking image at the end of the file with an `img` element pointing to `https://pnptelemetry.azurewebsites.net/sp-dev-fx-webparts/samples/readme-template`. This is a transparent image which is used to track how many visits each sample receives in GitHub.
* Update the image `src` attribute according with the repository name and folder information. For example, if your sample is named `react-todo` in the `samples` folder, you should update the `src` attribute to `https://pnptelemetry.azurewebsites.net/sp-dev-fx-webparts/samples/react-todo`
2021-04-24 14:11:53 -04:00
* Update the image `src` attribute according with the repository name and folder information.
* If you find an existing sample which is similar to yours, please extend the existing one rather than submitting a new similar sample
* When you update existing samples, please update also `README.md` file accordingly with information on provided changes and with your author details
* Make sure to document each function in the `README.md`
* If you include your social media information under **Authors** in the **Solution** section, we'll use this information to promote your contribution on social media, blog posts, and community calls.
* Try to use the following syntax:
```md
folder name | Author Name ([@yourtwitterhandle](https://twitter.com/yourtwitterhandle))
```
* If you include your company name after your name, we'll try to include your company name in blog posts and community calls.
* Try to use the following syntax:
```md
folder name | Author Name ([@yourtwitterhandle](https://twitter.com/yourtwitterhandle)), Company Name
```
* For multiple authors, please provide one line per author
* If you prefer to not use social media or disclose your name, we'll still accept your sample, but we'll assume that you don't want us to promote your contribution on social media.
### Assets
* To help people make sense of your sample, make sure to always include at least one screenshot of your solution in action. People are more likely to click on a sample if they can preview it before installing it.
* Please provide a high-quality screenshot
* If possible, use a resolution of **1920x1080**
* You can add as many screen shots as you'd like to help users understand your sample without having to download it and install it.
* You can include animated images (such as `.gif` files), but you must provide at least one static `.png` file
* There is no need to include the steps where you find your web part and add it to a page. Just get to the good stuff!

Here's a high-level process for submitting new samples or updates to existing ones.
1. Sign the Contributor License Agreement (see below)
2. Fork this repository [pnp/sp-dev-fx-webparts](https://github.com/pnp/sp-dev-fx-webparts) to your GitHub account
2021-05-02 15:04:59 -04:00
3. Create a new branch from the `main` branch for your fork for the contribution
2021-04-24 14:11:53 -04:00
4. Include your changes to your branch
5. Commit your changes using descriptive commit message * These are used to track changes on the repositories for monthly communications
2021-05-02 15:04:59 -04:00
6. Create a pull request in your own fork and target the `main` branch
2021-04-24 14:11:53 -04:00
7. Fill up the provided PR template with the requested details
Before you submit your pull request consider the following guidelines:
* Search [GitHub](https://github.com/pnp/sp-dev-fx-webparts/pulls) for an open or closed Pull Request
which relates to your submission. You don't want to duplicate effort.
* Make sure you have a link in your local cloned fork to the [pnp/sp-dev-fx-webparts](https://github.com/pnp/sp-dev-fx-webparts):
```shell
# check if you have a remote pointing to the Microsoft repo:
git remote -v
# if you see a pair of remotes (fetch & pull) that point to https://github.com/pnp/sp-dev-fx-webparts, you're ok... otherwise you need to add one
# add a new remote named "upstream" and point to the Microsoft repo
git remote add upstream https://github.com/pnp/sp-dev-fx-webparts.git
```
* Make your changes in a new git branch:
```shell
2021-05-02 15:04:59 -04:00
git checkout -b react-taxonomypicker main
2021-04-24 14:11:53 -04:00
```
* Ensure your fork is updated and not behind the upstream **sp-dev-fx-webparts** repo. Refer to these resources for more information on syncing your repo:
* [GitHub Help: Syncing a Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/)
* [Keep Your Forked Git Repo Updated with Changes from the Original Upstream Repo](http://www.andrewconnell.com/blog/keep-your-forked-git-repo-updated-with-changes-from-the-original-upstream-repo)
* For a quick cheat sheet:
```shell
# assuming you are in the folder of your locally cloned fork....
2021-05-02 15:04:59 -04:00
git checkout main
2021-04-24 14:11:53 -04:00
# assuming you have a remote named `upstream` pointing official **sp-dev-fx-webparts** repo
git fetch upstream
2021-05-02 15:04:59 -04:00
# update your local main to be a mirror of what's in the main repo
git pull --rebase upstream main
2021-04-24 14:11:53 -04:00
# switch to your branch where you are working, say "react-taxonomypicker"
git checkout react-taxonomypicker
2021-05-02 15:04:59 -04:00
# update your branch to update it's fork point to the current tip of main & put your changes on top of it
git rebase main
2021-04-24 14:11:53 -04:00
```
* Push your branch to GitHub:
```shell
git push origin react-taxonomypicker
```
