\brief All resources for (potential) contributors
|
|
|
|
This page should contain all resources for people who'd like to contribute to the project.
|
|
If that happens to be you, thank you for considering to contribute to this project!
|
|
This page will describe how the process goes, what code style this project uses and more useful information.
|
|
|
|
# Development process
|
|
Development happens at [GitHub](https://github.com/heartfin/harbour-sailfin).
|
|
Currently, both the library Jellyfin-Qt and the [Sailfish OS](https://sailfishos.org) app named Sailfin are developed in the same repository.
|
|
|
|
## Create or find an issue to work on
|
|
If you want to contribute code, please check if an issue exists.
|
|
Otherwise, create an issue describing what feature you'd like to develop before creating a merge request.
|
|
|
|
## Start working on your code
|
|
Clone the git repo and create a new branch.
|
|
If you have commit access to the repository, please create a branch in the form of `<issue-number>-<issue-title>`.
|
|
For example, `36-control-remote-jellyfin-sessions`.
|
|
|
|
Now you can start writing your code and create commits.
|
|
Please create focussed commits, that is, do not commit anything not related to the issue you are working on.
|
|
Also state what you're changing in the commit message and add an entry in the file `rpm/harbour-sailfin.changes`.
|
|
|
|
If this is your first time contributing to the project, don't be shy and feel free to add your name to the contributors list in `sailfish/qml/pages/AboutPage.qml`!
|
|
|
|
## Submit a merge request
|
|
Now that you have finalised your commit, you can create a merge request on the repository.
|
|
Make sure that you have followed the contribution guidelines on this page.
|
|
Someone will review it and if all is good, they will merge it in.
|
|
|
|
Congratulations on your contribution!

# Code style guidelines
|
|
The code should follow the [Sailfish OS Code Conventions](https://docs.sailfishos.org/Develop/Apps/Coding_Conventions/) with the following exceptions:
|
|
|
|
## Exceptions for C++
|
|
- Put curly braces on the same line as the declaration, example:
|
|
```cpp
|
|
int foo() {
|
|
// implementation
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
instead of
|
|
```cpp
|
|
int foo()
|
|
{
|
|
// implementation
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
Rationale: I hate pressing enter and am used to the former. Moreover, it is already all over the place. Bad rationale, I know.
|
|
|
|
- Close namespace brackets with a comment in the form `// NS Jellyfin`, example:
|
|
```cpp
|
|
namespace Jellyfin {
|
|
namespace Nested {
|
|
// Content
|
|
} // NS Nested
|
|
} // NS Jellyfin
|
|
```
|
|
Rationale: Easy to know what namespace the bracket closes, since namespaces tend to span over large portions of a file.
|
|
|
|
- Use include guards in the form of `NAMESPACE_CLASSNAME_H`. Example:
|
|
```cpp
|
|
#ifndef JELLYFIN_MODEL_USER_H
|
|
#define JELLYFIN_MODEL_USER_H
|
|
namespace Jellyfin {
|
|
namespace Model {
|
|
|
|
class User {
|
|
// Methods etc
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
} // NS Model
|
|
} // NS Jellyfin
|
|
```
