Contributing to inkjs

⚠️ This document is a work in progress.

We're very happy to hear that you want to contribute! 🎊

Asking question / Reporting issues / Getting in touch

I have a question

  1. Check whether it has been asked before or not. You can either search through issues.
  2. If it hasn't been asked before, open an issue.

I think inkjs would be better with feature X…

We usually don't accept new features in inkjs. The purpose of the project is to provide an implementation of ink in JavaScript, compliant with the reference implementation.

If you feel that ink is missing a feature, we recommend that you bring it up in the main repository first, or alternatively, in the official discord server.

Rules & Conventions when porting code from C#

  1. Do not port comments from the C# codebase, but do add inkjs-centric comment when it make sense. For example, it's important to document when inkjs display a slightly different behavior than the reference implementation.

  2. Try to match the C# type, that means that String translates to string | null in TypeScript. In order to reduce confusion however, exposed methods that interact with JavaScript should use optional parameter / return types (i. e. variable?: <type>) when they are optional / nullable in the original codebase.

To be added.

Style guide

inkjs uses prettier and esLint to ensure code consistency. We recommend that you run prettier either on save or before submitting your PR. Our CI lints every PR submitted, so make sure your code passes validation. Two NPM tasks can help you:

  • lint runs the linter
  • lint:fix fixes lint errors and warnings automatically

Porting tests & writing new specs

inkjs contains two test suites. The first one contains inkjs-centric tests, while the second one has been ported from the reference C# implementation.

Both test suites are ran twice, first against the TypeScript code (transpiled on the fly) and then, a second time, against the distributable, minified resulting JavaScript file.

  • test runs the full test suite, both in TypeScript and JavaScript;
  • test:typescript runs the TypeScript test suite;
  • test:javascript runs the JavaScript test suite;
  • test:javascript:dist runs the test suite against the modern distributable JavaScript file.
  • test:javascript:legacy runs the test suite against the legacy distributable JavaScript file.
  • test:compileFiles compiles the fixtures required by the test case (requires inklecate to be available in $PATH)

test:compileFiles needs to be run again every time new tests are added or when porting a new version of the runtime. The fixtures should always be compiled with the latest version of inklecate.

⚠️ Running test:javascript and its variants won't transpile the files, so be sure to run build first.

Releasing a new version

The repository is set up to automatically publish a new version to npm whenever a new release is created through Github. The corresponding Github workflow can be found here. The secret npm token is stored via the Github UI — if it needs to be updated, get in touch with @y-lohse 😀!

To actually release a new version:

  1. Update the version field in the package.json to the version you wish to publish
  2. Update the compatibility table in the README file
  3. Create a new release through Github. Use the same version number as in the package.json file, prefixed with v (eg. v1.2.3 if the package.json version field is 1.2.3).
