Contributing to Erc20 Token API

Welcome to the Erc20 Token API repository ! You'll find here guidelines on how the repository is set up and how to possibly contribute to it.

Table of Contents

Asking Questions

Note

Make sure you have read the documentation first !

Before you ask a question, it is best to search for existing Issues that might help you. In case you have found a suitable issue and still need clarification, you can write your question in this issue. It is also advisable to search the internet for answers first.

If you then still feel the need to ask a question and need clarification, we recommend the following:

  • Open an Issue.
  • Provide as much context as you can about what you're running into.
  • Provide project and platform versions depending on what seems relevant.

Reporting Bugs

Before Submitting a Bug Report

A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more information. Therefore, we ask you to investigate carefully, collect information and describe the issue in detail in your report. Please complete the following steps in advance to help fix any potential bug as fast as possible.

  • Make sure that you are using the latest version. If you're using the binary, you can check with Erc20-token-api --version.
  • Determine if your bug is really a bug and not an error on your side e.g. using incompatible environment components/versions (make sure that you have read the documentation. If you are looking for support, you might want to check this section).
  • To see if other users have experienced (and potentially already solved) the same issue you are having, check if there is not already a bug report existing for your bug or error in the bug tracker.
  • Also make sure to search the internet (including Stack Overflow) to see if users outside the GitHub community have discussed the issue.
  • Collect information about the bug:
    • Stack trace if possible
    • OS, Platform and Version (Windows, Linux, macOS, x86, ARM)
    • Version of the Bun binary, bun --version
    • Possibly your environment variables and the output
    • Can you reliably reproduce the issue? And can you also reproduce it with older versions?

How Do I Submit a Good Bug Report?

We use GitHub issues to track bugs and errors. If you run into an issue with the project:

  • Open an Issue.
  • Explain the behavior you would expect and the actual behavior.
  • Please provide as much context as possible and describe the reproduction steps that someone else can follow to recreate the issue on their own. This usually includes your code. For good bug reports you should isolate the problem and create a reduced test case.
  • Provide the information you collected in the previous section.

Suggesting Enhancements

This section guides you through submitting an enhancement suggestion for Erc20 Token API, including completely new features and minor improvements to existing functionality. Following these guidelines will help maintainers and the community to understand your suggestion and find related suggestions.

Before Submitting an Enhancement

  • Make sure that you are using the latest version. If you're using the binary, you can check with Erc20-token-api --version.
  • Read the documentation carefully and find out if the functionality is already covered, maybe by an individual configuration.
  • Perform a search to see if the enhancement has already been suggested. If it has, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one.
  • Find out whether your idea fits with the scope and aims of the project. Keep in mind that features should be useful to the majority of users and not just a small subset.

How Do I Submit a Good Enhancement Suggestion?

Enhancement suggestions are tracked as GitHub issues.

  • Open an Issue.
  • Use a clear and descriptive title for the issue to identify the suggestion.
  • Provide a step-by-step description of the suggested enhancement in as many details as possible.
  • Describe the current behavior and explain which behavior you expected to see instead and why. At this point you can also tell which alternatives do not work for you.
  • Explain why this enhancement would be useful to most Erc20 Token API users. You may also want to point out the other projects that solved it better and which could serve as inspiration.

Submitting PRs

You can follow the instructions from the Quick Start section of the README.md for setting up the environment.

The repository contains one main branch. Any changes to main must go through a pull request of a branch with a specific naming pattern (see below).

Any push to main branch will be tagged with the commit hash and the latest commit will additionally be tagged with develop to enable pulling latest development image (this is done automatically). You can retrieve the latest stable version of the API by checking out the latest tagged version commit (following semver).

PRs should be submitted from separate branches of the main branch. Ideally, your PR should fall into one the following categories:

  • Feature: feature/xxx
  • Bug fix: fix/xxx, try to make separate PRs for different bug fixes unless the change solves multiple bugs at once.
  • Documentation: docs/xxx, adding comments to files should be counted as documentation and changes made into a separate branch.
  • Operations: ops/xxx
  • Others: any other branching scheme or no branch will be counted as a miscellaneous change, avoid if possible.

The reasoning behind these categories is to make it easier to track changes as well as drafting future releases (see release-drafter.yml action for more details).

Warning

Make sure to tag any issues associated with the PR if one (or more) exists in your commit message.

Style guides

Code

If you're using a standard IDE like VSCode, Sublime Text, etc. there shouldn't be any formatting issues. The code is formatted accorded to what the LSP Typescript standard client is using. Details about the settings used can be found here.

Commit Messages

Here's a helpful commit message template adapted from cbeams' article: How to Write a Git Commit Message.

# Summarize changes in about 50 characters or less
# 50 characters limit ############################
#
# More detailed explanatory text, if necessary. Wrap it to about 72
# characters or so. In some contexts, the first line is treated as the
# subject of the commit and the rest of the text as the body. The
# blank line separating the summary from the body is critical (unless
# you omit the body entirely); various tools like `log`, `shortlog`
# and `rebase` can get confused if you run the two together.
# 72 characters limit ##################################################
#
# Explain the problem that this commit is solving. Focus on why you
# are making this change as opposed to how (the code explains that).
# Are there side effects or other unintuitive consequences of this
# change? Here's the place to explain them.
#
# Further paragraphs come after blank lines.
#
#  - Bullet points are okay, too
#  - Typically a hyphen or asterisk is used for the bullet, preceded
#    by a single space, with blank lines in between, but conventions
#    vary here
#
# Put references to relevant issues at the bottom, like this:
#
# Resolves: #123
# See also: #456, #789

To use it, simply save it as a .gitmessage file and use the following comment to make git use it:

git config commit.template ~/.gitmessage # Make sure to have the right path to your message file

or to configure it globally

git config --global commit.template ~/.gitmessage # Make sure to have the right path to your message file
