Submitting issues

Any bug-related issue should come with a reproducible test-case, use the Plunker links in the docs to easily create one.

Important notes

Please don't edit files in the dist subdirectory as they are generated via gulp. You'll find source code in the src subdirectory!

Code style

Regarding code style like indentation and whitespace, follow the conventions you see used in the source already.

Modifying the code

First, ensure that you have the latest Node.js and npm installed.

Test that gulp's CLI and Bower are installed by running gulp --version and bower --version. If the commands aren't found, run npm install -g gulp bower. For more information about installing the tools, see the getting started with gulp guide or bower.io respectively.

  1. Fork and clone the repo.
  2. Run npm install to install all build dependencies (including gulp).
  3. Run bower install to install the front-end dependencies.
  4. Run gulp test to test this project.

Assuming that you don't see any red, you're ready to go. Just be sure to run gulp test after making any changes, to ensure that nothing is broken.

Submitting a Pull Request

Before you submit your pull request consider the following guidelines:

  • Search GitHub for an open or closed Pull Request that relates to your submission. You don't want to duplicate effort.

  • Make your changes in a new git branch

    git checkout -b my-fix-branch master

  • Create your patch, including appropriate test cases.

  • Follow our Coding Rules

  • Commit your changes and create a descriptive commit message (the commit message is used to generate release notes, please check out our commit message conventions and our commit message presubmit hook validate-commit-msg.js):

    git commit -a

  • Build your changes locally to ensure all the tests pass

    gulp test

  • Push your branch to Github:

    git push origin my-fix-branch

  • In Github, send a pull request to ng-factory:master.

  • If we suggest changes then you can modify your branch, rebase and force a new push to your GitHub repository to update the Pull Request:

    git rebase master -i
git push -f

That's it! Thank you for your contribution!

When the patch is reviewed and merged, you can safely delete your branch and pull the changes from the main (upstream) repository:

  • Delete the remote branch on Github:

    git push origin --delete my-fix-branch

  • Check out the master branch:

    git checkout master -f

  • Delete the local branch:

    git branch -D my-fix-branch

  • Update your master with the latest upstream version:

    git pull --ff upstream master

Git Commit Guidelines

We have very precise rules over how our git commit messages can be formatted. This leads to more readable messages that are easy to follow when looking through the project history. But also, we use the git commit messages to generate the AngularJS change log.

Commit Message Format

Each commit message consists of a header, a body and a footer. The header has a special format that includes a type, a scope and a subject:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>

Any line of the commit message cannot be longer 100 characters! This allows the message to be easier to read on github as well as in various git tools.

Type

Must be one of the following:

  • feat: A new feature
  • fix: A bug fix
  • docs: Documentation only changes
  • style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
  • refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug or adds a feature
  • perf: A code change that improves performance
  • test: Adding missing tests
  • chore: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries such as documentation generation

Scope

The scope could be anything specifying place of the commit change. For example $location, $browser, $compile, $rootScope, ngHref, ngClick, ngView, etc...

Subject

The subject contains succinct description of the change:

  • use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
  • don't capitalize first letter
  • no dot (.) at the end

###Body Just as in the subject, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes" The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior.

###Footer The footer should contain any information about Breaking Changes and is also the place to reference GitHub issues that this commit Closes.
