If you are interested in making a contribution there are a few ways you could help out the project.
GitHub Issues are used for all discussions around the codebase, including bugs and features.
Good bug reports can be very helpful. A bug is a demonstrable problem with the code.
Guidelines for bug reports:
- Please use the GitHub issue search — check if the issue has already been reported.
- Check if the issue has already been fixed — try to reproduce it using the uncompressed code from latest
master
branch in the repository. - Create a small demo with the live example (reduced test case). You can possibly use this codepen template as a starting point -- don't forget to update it to the fluid-player version you use.
A good bug report should be as detailed as possible, so that others won't have to follow up for the essential details.
- Search the issues for any previous requests for the same feature, and give a thumbs up or +1 on existing requests.
- If no previous requests exist, create a new issue. Please be as clear as possible about why the feature is needed and the intended use case.
If you plan to propose a major new feature, or the contribution requires significant or breaking code changes it is recommended that you create an issue issue with a brief proposal (as described in Requesting a Feature) and discuss it with us first.
For smaller contributions just use this workflow:
- Fork the project.
- Create a branch for your feature or bug fix.
- Add code changes.
- Please apply changes only to the uncompressed versions of the files, for example only to fluidplayer.js and not to fluidplayer.min.js (these files will be generated by us before release)
- All new features or changes to the player settings or interface have to be documented in the docs repo, so that they are displayed on https://docs.fluidplayer.com. If you have made changes like this, please fork fluid-player-docs as well and create a branch with the same name as the feature branch, adding necessary changes to documentation.
- Send a pull request (both for fluid-player and fluid-player-docs)
After one of the contributors has checked and approved the changes, they will be merged into master branch and will be included in the next release tag.
