Code of Conduct

This project has adopted the Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct. For more information, see the Code of Conduct FAQ or contact opencode@microsoft.com with any additional questions or comments.

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 at http://techcommunity.microsoft.com
SharePoint Stack Exchange 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
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 are submitting a new sample, it has to follow up below guidelines

You will need to have a README.md file for your contribution, which is based on the provided template 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.
- 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 your you solution.
The README template contains a specific tracking image at the bottom of the file with an img tag, where the src attribute points to https://telemetry.sharepointpnp.com/sp-dev-fx-webparts/samples/readme-template. This is a transparent image which is used to track viewership of individual samples 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://telemetry.sharepointpnp.com/sp-dev-fx-webparts/samples/react-todo
If you find an existing sample which is similar to yours, please extend the existing one rather than submitting a new similar sample
- For example, if you use Office Graph with React, please add a new web part to the existing solution, rather than introducing a completely new solution
- When you update existing samples, please update also README.md file accordingly with information on provided changes and with your author details
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

Submitting Pull Requests

Here's a high-level process for submitting new samples or updates to existing ones.

Sign the Contributor License Agreement (see below)
Fork this repository SharePoint/sp-dev-fx-webparts to your GitHub account
Create a new branch from the master branch for your fork for the contribution
Include your changes to your branch
Commit your changes using descriptive commit message * These are used to track changes on the repositories for monthly communications
Create a pull request in your own fork and target the master branch
Fill up the provided PR template with the requested details

Before you submit your pull request consider the following guidelines:

Search GitHub 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 SharePoint/sp-dev-fx-webparts:

# 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/SharePoint/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/SharePoint/sp-dev-fx-webparts.git

Make your changes in a new git branch:

git checkout -b react-taxonomypicker master

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
Keep Your Forked Git Repo Updated with Changes from the Original Upstream Repo

For a quick cheat sheet:

# assuming you are in the folder of your locally cloned fork....
git checkout master

# assuming you have a remote named `upstream` pointing official **sp-dev-fx-webparts** repo
git fetch upstream

# update your local master to be a mirror of what's in the main repo
git pull --rebase upstream master

# switch to your branch where you are working, say "react-taxonomypicker"
git checkout react-taxonomypicker

# update your branch to update it's fork point to the current tip of master & put your changes on top of it
git rebase master

Push your branch to GitHub:
```
git push origin react-taxonomypicker
```

Merging your Existing GitHub Projects with this Repository
