|
|
First of all 👏👏 thanks for visiting this page, for us means you are willing contribute to `verdaccio` and we are happy for that. Jumping into an unfamiliar code base is not easy but we are here to help you.
|
|
|
|
## Comunication Channels
|
|
|
|
If you are willing for asking, we use two channels for discussions:
|
|
|
|
* [Public Gitter channel](https://gitter.im/verdaccio/)
|
|
* [Contributors Slack channel](https://verdaccio-npm.slack.com) (unfortunately only by email invitation, you might ask in **Gitter** to be included)
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
As a first glance verdaccio is a single repository, but there are many ways you might contribute and a variety of technologies to practice.
|
|
|
|
### Finding my spot
|
|
|
|
All we have different skills, so, let's see where you might feel comfortable.
|
|
|
|
### I know or I want to learn Node.js
|
|
|
|
Node.js is the base of `verdaccio`, we use libraries as `express`, `commander`, `request` or `async`. Verdaccio is basically a Rest API that create a communication with `npm` clients compatible, as `yarn`.
|
|
|
|
We have a long [list of plugins](plugins.md) ready to be used and improved but at the same time [you might create your own](dev-plugins.md).
|
|
|
|
### I would prefer to work in the User Interface
|
|
|
|
Recently we have moved to modern techonologies as `React` and `element-react`. We are looking forward to see new ideas how to improve the UI.
|
|
|
|
### I feel more confortable improving the stack
|
|
|
|
Of course, we will be happy to help us improving the stack, you can upgrade dependencies as `eslint`, `stylelint`, `webpack`. You migt merely improve the `webpack` configuration would be great. Any suggestion is very welcome. Furthermore whether you have experience with **Yeoman** you might help us with the [verdaccio generator](https://github.com/verdaccio/generator-verdaccio-plugin).
|
|
|
|
Here some ideas:
|
|
|
|
* Create a common eslint rules to be used across all dependencies or plugins
|
|
* Improve Flow types definitions delivery
|
|
* Moving to Webpack 4
|
|
* Improve hot reload with Webpack
|
|
* We use babel and webpack across all dependencies, why not a common preset?
|
|
* Improve continous integration delivery
|
|
|
|
### I do great Documentation
|
|
|
|
Many contributors find typos and grammar issues, that also helps to improve the overall experience for troubleshooting.
|
|
|
|
### I am a Designer
|
|
|
|
We have a frontend website [http://www.verdaccio.org/](http://www.verdaccio.org/) that will be happy to see your ideas.
|
|
|
|
Our website is based on [Docusaurus](https://docusaurus.io/).
|
|
|
|
### I am a DevOps
|
|
|
|
We have a widely popular Docker image [https://hub.docker.com/r/verdaccio/verdaccio/](https://hub.docker.com/r/verdaccio/verdaccio/) that need maintenance and pretty likely huge improvements, we need your knowledge for the benefits of all users.
|
|
|
|
We have support for **Kubernetes**, **Puppet**, **Ansible** and **Chef** and we need help in those fields, feel free to see all repositories.
|
|
|
|
### I can do translations
|
|
|
|
Verdaccio aims to be multilingual, in order to achieve it **we have the awesome support** of [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com) that is an amazing platform for translations.

|
|
|
|
We have setup a project where you can choose your favourite language, if you do not find your language feel free to request one [creating a ticket](https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/issues/new).

## I'm ready to contribute
|
|
|
|
If you are thinking *"I've seen already the [repositories](repositories.md) and I'm willing to start right away"* then I have good news for you, that's the next step.
|
|
|
|
You will need learn how to build, [we have prepared a guide just for that](build.md).
|
|
|
|
Once you have played around with all scripts and you know how to use them, we are ready to go to the next step, run the [**Unit Test**](test.md).
