Thank you for contributing!
Before we can merge your Pull-Request here are some guidelines that you need to follow. These guidelines exist not to annoy you, but to keep the code base clean, unified and future proof.
This project uses PHP_CodeSniffer to enforce coding standards. The coding standard rules are defined in the .phpcs.xml.dist file (part of this repository). The project follows a relaxed version of the Doctrine Coding standards v4.
Your Pull-Request must be compliant with the said standard.
To check your code you can run vendor/bin/phpcs. This command will give you a list of violations in your code (if any).
The most common errors can be automatically fixed just by running vendor/bin/phpcbf.
We're using composer/composer to manage dependencies
Please try to add a test for your pull-request. This project uses PHPUnit as testing framework.
You can run the unit-tests by calling vendor/bin/phpunit.
New features without tests can't be merged.
We automatically run your pull request through Travis CI. If you break the tests, we cannot merge your code, so please make sure that your code is working before opening up a Pull-Request.
To create a new issue, you can use the GitHub issue tracking system. Please try to avoid opening support-related tickets. For support related questions please use more appropriate channels as Q&A platforms (such as Stackoverflow), Forums, Local PHP user groups.
If you are a Symfony user, please try to distinguish between issues related to the Bundle and issues related to this library.
Please allow us time to review your pull requests. We will give our best to review everything as fast as possible, but cannot always live up to our own expectations.
Please, write commit messages that make sense, and rebase your branch before submitting your Pull Request.
One may ask you to squash your commits too. This is used to "clean" your Pull Request before merging it (we don't want commits such as "fix tests", "fix 2", "fix 3", etc.).
Pull requests without tests most probably will not be merged. Documentation PRs obviously do not require tests.
Thank you very much again for your contribution!
