Contributing

Checklist

1. Ensure your task meets the submission guidelines.
2. Ensure your task follows the code style guide.
3. Submit your pull request against master, unless otherwise instructed.
4. Ensure your pull request only touches what your changing and that it's squashed (ie git rebase).

Submission Guidelines

• task should work out of box, cross platform, with a simple npm install
• task should fill a general need and ideally be pure JavaScript
• task should include tests that cover, at minimal, its basic features
• task should be linted by running grunt at root of project
• task should use any built-in helpers first for consistency

Code Style Guide

• code should be indented with 2 spaces
• single quotes should be used where feasible
• commas should be followed by a single space (function params, etc)
• variable declaration should include var, no multiple declarations

Tests

• tests should be added to the config in test/grunt.js
• see existing tests for guidance

Currently, testing with grunt is a bit cumbersome--this will be addressed in a future release.

Running Tests

npm install grunt -g
npm install
npm test
