# Contributing
1. Build everything and run tests to learn how to do both:
- `npm run build`
- `npm run test`
Tests won't at first unless you've done a build at least once.
Subsequent changes to tests do not need re-builds but changes to the code and
then tests need a build to pick up the new code by the tests.
2. Make your changes and add a test for them
- Build after you've made your changes
- Run tests as per the above to validate your changes
3. Create a pull request
- Ensure the build runs because the Husky pre-commit hook checks it
- `npm run check` checks runs the build, tests, lint and perf tests
- `commitlint` checks the commit message format
If there is a problem you will see it in the pre-commit hook output.
In VS Code, this output will be shown in a new file in a new tab if the
pre-commit hook fails.
If you want to check the commit message without using the VS Code Source
Control UI, you can run `echo "feat: my commit message" > npx commitlint`
directly.
- `git switch -c your_branch_name` (do this in your fork not the main repo)
- `git add .`
- `git commit -m "feat: Adding my change"`
- `git push`
- Go to GitHub and find your fork, open a PR against the upstream from it
## Playground
The Playground runs off the `docs` directory.
`npm run build:docs` is used to build it.
Then, to start the site locally, go to `docs` and run `npm start`, then visit
http://localhost:4000/playground.html.
The Playground uses a local built LiquidJS, which is created during `npm run build:docs`.
To update that, you'll need to run `./bin/build-docs-liquid.sh` each time after making changes.
Then refresh the Playground site for the changes to take effect.
## Performance
If your change can have a performance impact, you can update and run performance cases under `benchmark/`.
1. `npm run build:cjs` to build a CommonJS bundle for the perf test.
2. `npm run perf:diff` to check whether there's a regression compared against `liquidjs@latest`
Further more, `benchmark/` contains different cases to check its ops/sec. Useful when debugging perf regressions, to use it:
- `cd benchmark` go into benchmark project
- `npm ci` install dependencies
- `npm start` run the cases
