First of all: every contribution is welcome! If you don't know how to make a change just ask!
That said we can separate the contributions in two:
- Contributions no related to components: changes in web app, initialization, ...
- Contributions related to components: generation, use, extend, ...
This part is just like every other Perl module. In this case we're using Dist::Zilla to build the distribution package.
So a typical workflow will be fork and pull request based (for those not familiar you can check forking projects)
# Just in case Dist Zilla is not installed
$ cpanm Dist::Zilla
$ dzil authordeps | cpanm
# Make your changes
$ dzil testIf the last step suceed then you're ready to make a Pull Request!!
The parts related to components are mainly autogenerated using the Python packages so we'll need them. To set up the developement environment first you have to follow: Dash instructions for contributing
Once the Javascript and Python parts are working the script tool/build_dist.pl will execute the commands and will generate the files and assets needed to build the Perl package distribution.
After a succesful execution you can just start hacking!
Once the changes in components are done you'll have to pass all the tests so don't forget to run the full tests:
$ dzil testBeware: some parts are still under development!
