# Contributing
|

|
||||
## Set up your dev environment
|
||||
|
||||
We use Node v14 for development - that is the version that our linters require.
|
||||
|
||||
To set up the repository:
|
||||
1. Clone the repository
|
||||
2. `cd` into the repository
|
||||
3. Install dependencies with `npm install`
|
||||
|
||||
To build the library:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Run the linter
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
npm run lint
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Running Tests
|
||||
|
||||
For integration and browser tests, we use a `rippled` node in standalone mode to test xrpl.js code against. To set this up, you can either run `rippled` locally, or set up the Docker container `natenichols/rippled-standalone:latest` for this purpose. The latter will require you to [install Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/).
|
||||
|
||||
### Unit Tests
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
npm test
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Tests
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
# sets up the rippled standalone Docker container - you can skip this step if you already have it set up
|
||||
docker run -p 6006:6006 -it natenichols/rippled-standalone:latest
|
||||
npm run test:integration
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Browser Tests
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to run browser tests.
|
||||
|
||||
One is in the browser - run `npm run build:browserTests` and open `test/localIntegrationRunner.html` in your browser.
|
||||
|
||||
The other is in the command line (this is what we use for CI) -
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run build:browserTests
|
||||
# sets up the rippled standalone Docker container - you can skip this step if you already have it set up
|
||||
docker run -p 6006:6006 -it natenichols/rippled-standalone:latest
|
||||
npm run test:browser
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate reference docs
|
||||
|
||||
You can see the complete reference documentation at [`xrpl.js` docs](js.xrpl.org). You can also generate them locally using `typedoc`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run docgen
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Release process
|
||||
|
||||
### Editing the Code
|
||||
|
||||
* Your changes should have unit and/or integration tests.
|
||||
* Your changes should pass the linter.
|
||||
* Your code should pass all the tests on Github (which check the linter, unit and integration tests on Node 12/14/16, and browser tests).
|
||||
* Open a PR against `develop` and ensure that all CI passes.
|
||||
* Get a full code review from one of the maintainers.
|
||||
* Merge your changes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Release
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ensure that all tests passed on the last CI that ran on `develop`.
|
||||
2. Open a PR to update the docs if docs were modified.
|
||||
3. Create a branch off `develop` that properly increments the version in `package.json` and ensures that `HISTORY.md` is updated appropriately. We follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
|
||||
* Use `shasum -a 256 build/*` to get the SHA-256 checksums. Add these to `HISTORY.md` as well.
|
||||
4. Merge this branch into `develop`.
|
||||
5. If this is not a beta release: Merge `develop` into `master` (`--ff-only`) and push to github. This is important because we have docs telling developers to use master to get the latest release.
|
||||
6. Create a new Github release/tag off of this branch.
|
||||
7. Run `npm publish --dry-run` and make sure everything looks good.
|
||||
8. Publish the release to `npm`.
|
||||
* If this is a beta release, run `npm publish --tag beta`. This allows someone else to install this version of the package with `npm install xrpl@beta`.
|
||||
* If this is a stable release, run `npm publish`.
|
||||
* This will require entering `npm` login info.
|
||||
9. Send an email to [xrpl-announce](https://groups.google.com/g/xrpl-announce).
|
||||
|
||||
## Mailing Lists
|
||||
We have a low-traffic mailing list for announcements of new `xrpl.js` releases. (About 1 email every couple of weeks)

## Development
|
||||
|
||||
To build the library for Node.js and the browser:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ npm run build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Tip:** This can take a minute or two to complete.
|
||||
|
||||
The TypeScript compiler will [output](./tsconfig.json#L7) the resulting JS files in `./dist/npm/`.
|
||||
|
||||
webpack will output the resulting JS files in `./build/`.
|
||||
|
||||
For details, see the `scripts` in `package.json`.

||||
