Contributing guidelines

By contributing to Device SDK for Spotflow IoT Platform, you declare that:

  • You are entitled to assign the copyright for the work, provided it is not owned by your employer or you have received a written copyright assignment.
  • You license your contribution under the same terms that apply to the rest of the Device SDK for Spotflow IoT Platform project.
  • You pledge to follow the Code of Conduct.

Contribution process

Please, always create an Issue before starting to work on a new feature or bug fix. This way, we can discuss the best approach and avoid duplicated or lost work. Without discussing the issue first, there is a risk that your PR will not be accepted because e.g.:

  • It does not fit the project's goals.
  • It is not implemented in the way that we would like to see.
  • It is already being worked on by someone else.

Commits & Pull Requests

We do not put any specific requirements on individual commits. However, we expect that the Pull Request (PR) is a logical unit of work that is easily understandable & reviewable. The PRs should also contain expressive title and description.

Few general rules are:

  • Do not mix multiple unrelated changes in a single PR.
  • Do not mix formatting changes with functional changes.
  • Do not mix refactoring with functional changes.
  • Do not create huge PRs that are hard to review. In case that your change is logically cohesive but still large, consider splitting it into multiple PRs.

Code style

This code uses cargo fmt to format the code and cargo clippy to improve the code quality. Both are checked in the CI pipeline and failing to pass the formatting or linting check will result in a failed build.

Testing

All new code must be covered by tests. Prefer adding new tests specific for the new code, but feel free to extend existing tests if it makes sense.

Documentation & changelog

All new features and changes must be reflected in README.md and/or documentation comments of the public interface. Also, make sure to update the appropriate CHANGELOG.md file (Rust, Python, C) with a brief description of the changes. The changelog follows the Keep a Changelog format.
