Please use the github issue tracker for any bugs or feature requests,
email sent to the maintainer(s) will probably be ignored.
If you would like to backport a feature from main to a release
branch, also put a ticket for enhancement.
If you would like to contribute bug fixes or new components, make sure there is an existing issue for it, and make a pull request referencing the issue.
We use conventional commits to write commit messages.
If your changes cause problems with how the library was used before,
don't forget to write BREAKING CHANGE: inside the commit message body,
followed by a description of what has changed and how to adapt for it.
We use node, npm, and just for any development related things, so make sure you
have those installed. If you want to run the examples against a test RTSP server,
you'll need to have a working docker environment with access to docker hub.
Make sure your changes pass linting and unit testing locally to save time with your PR,
by running just test.
If you add a new feature, please write a new unit test to catch any future regressions.
Most components have unit tests, and basic proper behaviour is always tested, but we don't have full coverage (yet) of all the component code. If you contribute a new component, please make sure it has appropriate unit tests with sufficient coverage.
We use biome to automatically format code, and this
is verified during testing (part of linting).
To make sure tests don't fail on format problems, it's recommended to use a
biome plugin for you editor, or to run just format before committing
any changes.
After cloning this repository, run just to install all dependencies.
The easiest way to get started is to get the examples up and running,
so you can test any changes you make.
There are two sets of examples: those that expect a camera backend, and those that work with a test video provided by an RTSP server that you can run locally via this library.
Run just run [workspace] to build the library, run a local RTSP test server, and serve
the examples. You'll see a link to a port on localhost (usually 8080).
Whenever you want to apply your changes to the upstream repository, you can create a pull request (PR). You can find general information on making pull requests on GitHub.
Automated tests are run on the main branch and pull requests with GitHub Actions,
for which the configuration can be found in the .github/workflows/verify.yml file.
These tests always need to pass before a PR can be merged.
When tags are pushed, an automated deploy will release to both Github and NPM, which
can be found in .github/workflows/publish.yml.
Any tags that are prereleases will be tagged next for NPM, otherwise latest is used.
To release, make sure you are on the main branch and run:
just release
git push --follow-tags
after which the pushed tag will cause a build + deploy through GitHub Actions.
