We're really glad you're reading this, because we need more volunteer developers to help with this project! If you haven't already, connect with us on Spectrum.
We can use all the help we can get on all our GraphQL Java Kickstart projects. This work ranges from adding new features, fixing bugs, and answering questions to writing documentation.
A lot of the questions asked on Spectrum or Github are caused by a lack of documentation. We should strive from now on to answer questions by adding content to our documentation and referring them to the newly created content.
Continuous integration will make sure that the changes are automatically deployed to https://www.graphql-java-kickstart.com.
Please send a Pull Request with a clear list of what you've done using the Github flow. We can always use more test coverage, so we'd love to see that in the pull requests too. And make sure to follow our coding conventions (below) and make sure all your commits are atomic (one feature per commit).
We use Google Style guides for our projects. See the Java Style Guide for a detailed description. You can download the IntelliJ Java Google Style to import in these settings in IntelliJ.
It would also be very helpful to install the SonarLint plugin in your IDE and fix any relevant SonarLint issues before pushing a PR. We're aware that the current state of the code raises a lot of SonarLint issues out of the box, but any help in reducing that is appreciated. More importantly we don't increase that technical debt.
