Contribute to tangram

We aim to provide a quality codebase with documentation, but expect that you will find bugs and issues, and hope you will also imagine very creative plugins.

We welcome contributions to the project, whether it is code, documentation, or bug reports.

Please file bug reports on the GitHub issue tracker.

When filing a bug report, please include the following information:

  • A clear description of the issue
  • Steps to reproduce the issue
  • Expected and actual behaviour
  • Any relevant logs or error messages
  • Your environment (OS, browser, etc.)

  4. Push your changes to your forked repository
  5. Create a pull request against the main branch of the original repository

Style guide

We do not want to be too strict about the coding standards, but we expect that you will follow the general style guides of the rest of the codebase. Ensure your contribution doesn't reformat existing code unnecessarily, as this can make it harder to review changes.

Please take into account the .editorconfig file in the root of the repository, which defines the coding style for the project. You can find more information about EditorConfig here and install plugins for your favourite editor.
