# Contributing to Nest
2+
3+
We would love for you to contribute to Nest and help make it even better than it is
4+
today! As a contributor, here are the guidelines we would like you to follow:
5+
6+
- [Code of Conduct](#coc)
7+
- [Question or Problem?](#question)
8+
- [Issues and Bugs](#issue)
9+
- [Feature Requests](#feature)
10+
- [Submission Guidelines](#submit)
11+
- [Coding Rules](#rules)
12+
- [Commit Message Guidelines](#commit)
13+
<!-- - [Signing the CLA](#cla) -->
14+
15+
<!-- ## <a name="coc"></a> Code of Conduct
16+
Help us keep Nest open and inclusive. Please read and follow our [Code of Conduct][coc]. -->
17+
18+
## <a name="question"></a> Got a Question or Problem?
19+
20+
**Do not open issues for general support questions as we want to keep GitHub issues for bug reports and feature requests.** You've got much better chances of getting your question answered on [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/nestjs) where the questions should be tagged with tag `nestjs`.
21+
22+
Stack Overflow is a much better place to ask questions since:
23+
24+
<!-- - there are thousands of people willing to help on Stack Overflow [maybe one day] -->
25+
- questions and answers stay available for public viewing so your question / answer might help someone else
26+
- Stack Overflow's voting system assures that the best answers are prominently visible.
27+
28+
To save your and our time, we will systematically close all issues that are requests for general support and redirect people to Stack Overflow.
29+
30+
If you would like to chat about the question in real-time, you can reach out via [our gitter channel][gitter].
31+
32+
## <a name="issue"></a> Found a Bug?
33+
If you find a bug in the source code, you can help us by
34+
[submitting an issue](#submit-issue) to our [GitHub Repository][github]. Even better, you can
35+
[submit a Pull Request](#submit-pr) with a fix.
36+
37+
## <a name="feature"></a> Missing a Feature?
38+
You can *request* a new feature by [submitting an issue](#submit-issue) to our GitHub
39+
Repository. If you would like to *implement* a new feature, please submit an issue with
40+
a proposal for your work first, to be sure that we can use it.
41+
Please consider what kind of change it is:
42+
43+
* For a **Major Feature**, first open an issue and outline your proposal so that it can be
44+
discussed. This will also allow us to better coordinate our efforts, prevent duplication of work,
45+
and help you to craft the change so that it is successfully accepted into the project. For your issue name, please prefix your proposal with `[discussion]`, for example "[discussion]: your feature idea".
46+
* **Small Features** can be crafted and directly [submitted as a Pull Request](#submit-pr).
47+
48+
## <a name="submit"></a> Submission Guidelines
49+
50+
### <a name="submit-issue"></a> Submitting an Issue
51+
52+
Before you submit an issue, please search the issue tracker, maybe an issue for your problem already exists and the discussion might inform you of workarounds readily available.
53+
54+
We want to fix all the issues as soon as possible, but before fixing a bug we need to reproduce and confirm it. In order to reproduce bugs we will systematically ask you to provide a minimal reproduction scenario using a repository or [Gist](https://gist.github.com/). Having a live, reproducible scenario gives us wealth of important information without going back & forth to you with additional questions like:
55+
56+
- version of NestJS used
57+
- 3rd-party libraries and their versions
58+
- and most importantly - a use-case that fails
59+
60+
<!--
61+
// TODO we need to create a playground, similar to plunkr
62+
63+
A minimal reproduce scenario using a repository or Gist allows us to quickly confirm a bug (or point out coding problem) as well as confirm that we are fixing the right problem. If neither of these are not a suitable way to demonstrate the problem (for example for issues related to our npm packaging), please create a standalone git repository demonstrating the problem. -->
64+
65+
<!-- We will be insisting on a minimal reproduce scenario in order to save maintainers time and ultimately be able to fix more bugs. Interestingly, from our experience users often find coding problems themselves while preparing a minimal plunk. We understand that sometimes it might be hard to extract essentials bits of code from a larger code-base but we really need to isolate the problem before we can fix it. -->
66+
67+
Unfortunately, we are not able to investigate / fix bugs without a minimal reproduction, so if we don't hear back from you we are going to close an issue that don't have enough info to be reproduced.
68+
69+
You can file new issues by filling out our [new issue form](https://github.com/nestjs/nest/issues/new).
70+
71+
72+
### <a name="submit-pr"></a> Submitting a Pull Request (PR)
73+
Before you submit your Pull Request (PR) consider the following guidelines:
74+
75+
1. Search [GitHub](https://github.com/nestjs/nest/pulls) for an open or closed PR
76+
that relates to your submission. You don't want to duplicate effort.
77+
<!-- 1. Please sign our [Contributor License Agreement (CLA)](#cla) before sending PRs.
78+
We cannot accept code without this. -->
79+
1. Fork the nestjs/nest repo.
80+
1. Make your changes in a new git branch:
81+
82+
```shell
83+
git checkout -b my-fix-branch master
84+
```
85+
86+
1. Create your patch, **including appropriate test cases**.
87+
1. Follow our [Coding Rules](#rules).
88+
1. Run the full Nest test suite, as described in the [developer documentation][dev-doc],
89+
and ensure that all tests pass.
90+
1. Commit your changes using a descriptive commit message that follows our
91+
[commit message conventions](#commit). Adherence to these conventions
92+
is necessary because release notes are automatically generated from these messages.
93+
94+
```shell
95+
git commit -a
96+
```
97+
Note: the optional commit `-a` command line option will automatically "add" and "rm" edited files.
98+
99+
1. Push your branch to GitHub:
100+
101+
```shell
102+
git push origin my-fix-branch
103+
```
104+
105+
1. In GitHub, send a pull request to `nestjs:master`.
106+
* If we suggest changes then:
107+
* Make the required updates.
108+
* Re-run the Nest test suites to ensure tests are still passing.
109+
* Rebase your branch and force push to your GitHub repository (this will update your Pull Request):
110+
111+
```shell
112+
git rebase master -i
113+
git push -f
114+
```
115+
116+
That's it! Thank you for your contribution!
117+
118+
#### After your pull request is merged
119+
120+
After your pull request is merged, you can safely delete your branch and pull the changes
121+
from the main (upstream) repository:
122+
123+
* Delete the remote branch on GitHub either through the GitHub web UI or your local shell as follows:
124+
125+
```shell
126+
git push origin --delete my-fix-branch
127+
```
128+
129+
* Check out the master branch:
130+
131+
```shell
132+
git checkout master -f
133+
```
134+
135+
* Delete the local branch:
136+
137+
```shell
138+
git branch -D my-fix-branch
139+
```
140+
141+
* Update your master with the latest upstream version:
142+
143+
```shell
144+
git pull --ff upstream master
145+
```
146+
147+
## <a name="rules"></a> Coding Rules
148+
To ensure consistency throughout the source code, keep these rules in mind as you are working:
149+
150+
* All features or bug fixes **must be tested** by one or more specs (unit-tests).
151+
<!--
152+
// We're working on auto-documentation.
153+
* All public API methods **must be documented**. (Details TBC). -->
154+
* We follow [Google's JavaScript Style Guide][js-style-guide], but wrap all code at
155+
**100 characters**. An automated formatter is available, see
156+
[DEVELOPER.md](docs/DEVELOPER.md#clang-format).
157+
158+
## <a name="commit"></a> Commit Message Guidelines
159+
160+
We have very precise rules over how our git commit messages can be formatted. This leads to **more
161+
readable messages** that are easy to follow when looking through the **project history**. But also,
162+
we use the git commit messages to **generate the Nest change log**.
163+
164+
### Commit Message Format
165+
Each commit message consists of a **header**, a **body** and a **footer**. The header has a special
166+
format that includes a **type**, a **scope** and a **subject**:
167+
168+
```
169+
<type>(<scope>): <subject>
170+
<BLANK LINE>
171+
<body>
172+
<BLANK LINE>
173+
<footer>
174+
```
175+
176+
The **header** is mandatory and the **scope** of the header is optional.
177+
178+
Any line of the commit message cannot be longer 100 characters! This allows the message to be easier
179+
to read on GitHub as well as in various git tools.
180+
181+
Footer should contain a [closing reference to an issue](https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-via-commit-messages/) if any.
182+
183+
Samples: (even more [samples](https://github.com/nestjs/nest/commits/master))
184+
185+
```
186+
docs(changelog): update change log to beta.5
187+
```
188+
```
189+
fix(release): need to depend on latest rxjs and zone.js
190+
191+
The version in our package.json gets copied to the one we publish, and users need the latest of these.
192+
```
193+
194+
### Revert
195+
If the commit reverts a previous commit, it should begin with `revert: `, followed by the header of the reverted commit. In the body it should say: `This reverts commit <hash>.`, where the hash is the SHA of the commit being reverted.
196+
197+
### Type
198+
Must be one of the following:
199+
200+
* **build**: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, broccoli, npm)
201+
* **ci**: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (example scopes: Travis, Circle, BrowserStack, SauceLabs)
202+
* **docs**: Documentation only changes
203+
* **feat**: A new feature
204+
* **fix**: A bug fix
205+
* **perf**: A code change that improves performance
206+
* **refactor**: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
207+
* **style**: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
208+
* **test**: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
209+
210+
### Scope
211+
The scope should be the name of the npm package affected (as perceived by person reading changelog generated from commit messages.
212+
213+
The following is the list of supported scopes:
214+
215+
* **common**
216+
* **core**
217+
* **examples**
218+
* **microservices**
219+
* **testing**
220+
* **websockets**
221+
222+
There are currently a few exceptions to the "use package name" rule:
223+
224+
* **packaging**: used for changes that change the npm package layout in all of our packages, e.g. public path changes, package.json changes done to all packages, d.ts file/format changes, changes to bundles, etc.
225+
* **changelog**: used for updating the release notes in CHANGELOG.md
226+
* **examples/#**: for the example apps directory, replacing # with the example app number
227+
<!-- * **aio**: used for docs-app (angular.io) related changes within the /aio directory of the repo -->
228+
* none/empty string: useful for `style`, `test` and `refactor` changes that are done across all packages (e.g. `style: add missing semicolons`)
229+
230+
### Subject
231+
The subject contains succinct description of the change:
232+
233+
* use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes"
234+
* don't capitalize first letter
235+
* no dot (.) at the end
236+
237+
### Body
238+
Just as in the **subject**, use the imperative, present tense: "change" not "changed" nor "changes".
239+
The body should include the motivation for the change and contrast this with previous behavior.
240+
241+
### Footer
242+
The footer should contain any information about **Breaking Changes** and is also the place to
243+
reference GitHub issues that this commit **Closes**.
244+
245+
**Breaking Changes** should start with the word `BREAKING CHANGE:` with a space or two newlines. The rest of the commit message is then used for this.
246+
