Contributing to the code

You'll need NPM to install the development dependencies:

npm install --save-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 and we use ESLint to enforce it.

To make sure your code follows it:

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.

We use reuse to check that all the needed information is present:

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:

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 to start translating the extension. If you need help, check out Weblate's user documentation.
