Contributing to Swagger-UI

We love contributions from our community of users! This document explains our guidelines and workflows. Please take care to follow them, as it helps us keep things moving smoothly.

Environment setup

  1. Install Node.js (4 or newer) and npm (3 or newer).
  2. Make a fork of Swagger-UI on GitHub, then clone your fork to your machine.
  3. Run npm install in your Swagger-UI directory.
  4. Run npm run dev. localhost:3200 should open automatically.
  5. You're ready to go!

Branching model

Feature branches should be prefixed with ft/.

Bugfix branches should be prefixed with bug/.

Version branches should be prefixed with v/.

After the forward slash, include a short description of what you're fixing. For example: bug/fix-everything-that-was-broken. For versions, add the version that will be released via the branch, for example: v/1.2.3.

If there's an issue filed that you're addressing in your branch, include the issue number directly after the forward slash. For example: bug/1234-fix-all-the-other-things.

Filing issues

  • Do include the Swagger-UI build you're using - you can find this by opening your console and checking window.versions.swaggerUi
  • Do include a spec that demonstrates the issue you're experiencing.
  • Do include screenshots, if needed. GIFs are even better!
  • Do place code inside of a pre-formatted container by surrounding the code with triple backticks.
  • Don't open tickets discussing issues with the Swagger/OpenAPI specification itself, or for issues with projects that use Swagger-UI.
  • Don't open an issue without searching the issue tracker for duplicates first.

Committing

  • Break your commits into logical atomic units. Well-segmented commits make it much easier for others to step through your changes.
  • Limit your subject (first) line to 50 characters (GitHub truncates more than 70).
  • Provide a body if you'd like to explain your commit in detail.
  • Capitalize the beginning of your subject line, and do not end the subject line with a period.
  • Your subject line should complete this sentence: If applied, this commit will [your subject line].
  • Don't use magic GitHub words in your commits to close issues - do that in the pull request for your code instead.

Adapted from How to Write a Git Commit Message.

Making pull requests

  • Do summarize your changes in the PR body. If in doubt, write a bullet-point list titled This PR does the following:.
  • Do include references to issues that your PR solves, and use magic GitHub words to close those issues automatically when your PR is merged.
  • Do include tests that cover new or changed functionality.
  • Do be careful to follow our ESLint style rules. We recommend installing an ESLint plugin if you use a graphical code editor.
  • Do make sure that tests and the linter are passing by running npm test locally, otherwise we can't merge your pull request.
  • Don't include any changes to files in the dist/ directory - we update those files only during releases.
  • Don't mention maintainers in your original PR body - we probably would've seen it anyway, so it just increases the noise in our inboxes. Do feel free to ping maintainers if a week has passed and you've heard nothing from us.
  • Don't open PRs for custom functionality that only serves a small subset of our users - custom functionality should be implemented outside of our codebase, via a plugin.
