## Contributing to the code
You'll need [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/) to install the development dependencies:
```bash
meson compile -C builddir dev
```
When you're done, commit all your changes. Make one commit per change. The commit message must include which part of the code you worked on. Example:
```
Commands Switcher: Change spawned command
```
You can then push to a branch and create a new merge request.
### Coding style
We follow the [GNOME Shell coding style](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/blob/HEAD/HACKING.md) and we use [ESLint](https://eslint.org/) to enforce it.
To make sure your code follows it:
```bash
meson test -C builddir --suite=code
```
### Copyright notice
If you make changes to a file, please put your copyright notice to the top of the file, or in a separate file (named `original-file.ext.license`), following the [SPDX specification](https://spdx.dev/).
We use [`reuse`](https://reuse.software/) to check that all the needed information is present:
```bash
meson test -C builddir --suite=licensing
```
### Creating new files
If you add new source files, you have to add their paths in different files:
- `./src/meson.build` for Javascript files
- `./src/po/POTFILES` for Javascript and UI files
Add them in the correct place alphabetically.
### Localized strings
If you create or modify localized strings, make your changes available for translation:
```bash
meson compile -C builddir nightthemeswitcher@romainvigier.fr-pot
```
## Contributing to the translations
The project uses Weblate to manage translations. Head over [Night Theme Switcher's project page](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/night-theme-switcher/) to start translating the extension. If you need help, check out [Weblate's user documentation](https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/user/translating.html).
