Pull Requests

We welcome contributions via pull requests! Here are some guidelines to help you get started:

1. Fork the repository and clone it to your local machine.
2. Create a new branch for your changes: git checkout -b my-new-feature.
3. Ensure you have the required dependencies installed by running: pnpm install (assuming pnpm version 8.x).
4. Make your desired changes and, if applicable, include tests to validate your modifications.
5. Run the following commands to ensure the integrity of your changes:
   • pnpm codegen: Re-generate the package entrypoints in case you have changed the structure of a package or introduced a new module.
   • pnpm check: Verify that the code compiles.
   • pnpm test: Execute the tests.
   • pnpm circular: Confirm there are no circular imports.
   • pnpm lint: Check for code style adherence (if you happen to encounter any errors during this process, you can use pnpm lint-fix to automatically fix some of these style issues).
   • pnpm dtslint: Run type-level tests.
   • pnpm docgen: Check the integrity of the generated documentation.
6. Create a changeset for your changes: before committing your changes, create a changeset to document the modifications. This helps in tracking and communicating the changes effectively. To create a changeset, run the following command: pnpm changeset. Always choose the patch option when prompted (please note that we are currently in pre-release mode).
7. Commit your changes: after creating the changeset, commit your changes with a descriptive commit message: git commit -am 'Add some feature'.
8. Push your changes to your fork: git push origin my-new-feature.
9. Open a pull request against our main branch.
