Editor preferences are available in for the editor config easy use in common text editors. Read more and download plugins at http://editorconfig.org.

The project uses Grunt with convenient methods for our workflow. It's how we lint our code, run tests, generate documentation, etc. To use it, install the required dependencies as directed and then run the following Grunt commands.

Install Grunt

From the command line:

• Install grunt-cli globally with npm install -g grunt-cli.
• Install [the necessary local dependencies][] with npm install. [the necessary local dependencies]: https://github.com/nicoespeon/gitgraph.js/blob/master/package.json

When completed, you'll be able to run the various Grunt commands provided from the command line.

Available Grunt commands

test code - grunt test

Check source code against JSHint then runs unit tests with Jasmine.

generate documentation - grunt doc

Generate source code documentation into dist/docs/ (not versioned) with JSDoc.

compile a non-versioned release - grunt dist

Clean dist/ directory, lint code, output the minified release into dist/gitgraph.min.js and generate the documentation into dist/docs/.

compile a new release - grunt release

Lint code, output the source and minified releases into build/ and generate the official documentation into docs/.

open a live reload server - grunt server

For a better code experience, this grunt task opens a live server in your favorite browser. This server is automatically reloaded when you save a project file.

Please note that examples/index.html is the default file for testing ;)

Versioning

We use SemVer as a guideline for our versioning here.

What does that mean?

Releases will be numbered with the following format:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>

And constructed with the following guidelines:

• Breaking backward compatibility bumps the <major> (and resets the <minor> and <patch>)
• New additions without breaking backward compatibility bump the <minor> (and reset the <patch>)
• Bug fixes and misc. changes bump the <patch>
