Code of Conduct

This project and everyone participating in it is governed by the gege-jdr-backend Code of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to .

I Have a Question

If you want to ask a question, we assume that you have read the available Documentation.

Before you ask a question, it is best to search for existing Issues that might help you. In case you have found a suitable issue and still need clarification, you can write your question in this issue. It is also advisable to search the internet for answers first.

If you then still feel the need to ask a question and need clarification, we recommend the following:

  • Open an Issue.
  • Provide as much context as you can about what you're running into.
  • Provide project and platform versions (cargo, rustc, etc), depending on what seems relevant.

We will then take care of the issue as soon as possible.

I Want To Contribute

When contributing to this project, you must agree that you have authored 100% of the content, that you have the necessary rights to the content and that the content you contribute may be provided under the project license.

Reporting Bugs

Before Submitting a Bug Report

A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more information. Therefore, we ask you to investigate carefully, collect information and describe the issue in detail in your report. Please complete the following steps in advance to help us fix any potential bug as fast as possible.

  • Make sure that you are using the latest version.
  • Determine if your bug is really a bug and not an error on your side e.g. using incompatible environment components/versions (Make sure that you have read the documentation. If you are looking for support, you might want to check this section).
  • To see if other users have experienced (and potentially already solved) the same issue you are having, check if there is not already a bug report existing for your bug or error in the bug tracker.
  • Also make sure to search the internet (including Stack Overflow) to see if users outside of the PhundrakLabs community have discussed the issue.
  • Collect information about the bug:
    • Stack trace (Traceback)
    • OS, Platform and Version (Windows, Linux, macOS, x86, ARM)
    • Version of the interpreter, compiler, SDK, runtime environment, package manager, depending on what seems relevant.
    • Possibly your input and the output
    • Can you reliably reproduce the issue? And can you also reproduce it with older versions?

How Do I Submit a Good Bug Report?

You must never report security related issues, vulnerabilities or bugs including sensitive information to the issue tracker, or elsewhere in public. Instead sensitive bugs must be sent by email to .

We use PhundrakLabs issues to track bugs and errors. If you run into an issue with the project:

  • Open an Issue. (Since we can't be sure at this point whether it is a bug or not, we ask you not to talk about a bug yet and not to label the issue.)
  • Explain the behavior you would expect and the actual behavior.
  • Please provide as much context as possible and describe the reproduction steps that someone else can follow to recreate the issue on their own. This usually includes your code. For good bug reports you should isolate the problem and create a reduced test case.
  • Provide the information you collected in the previous section.

Once it's filed:

  • The project team will label the issue accordingly.
  • A team member will try to reproduce the issue with your provided steps. If there are no reproduction steps or no obvious way to reproduce the issue, the team will ask you for those steps and mark the issue as Status/Need More Info. Bugs with the Status/Need More Info tag will not be addressed until they are reproduced.
  • If the team is able to reproduce the issue, it will be marked Reviewed/Confirmed, as well as possibly other tags (such as Priority/Medium), and the issue will be left to be implemented by someone.

Suggesting Enhancements

This section guides you through submitting an enhancement suggestion for gege-jdr-backend, including completely new features and minor improvements to existing functionality. Following these guidelines will help maintainers and the community to understand your suggestion and find related suggestions.

Before Submitting an Enhancement

  • Make sure that you are using the latest version.
  • Read the documentation carefully and find out if the functionality is already covered, maybe by an individual configuration.
  • Perform a search to see if the enhancement has already been suggested. If it has, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one.
  • Find out whether your idea fits with the scope and aims of the project. It's up to you to make a strong case to convince the project's developers of the merits of this feature. Keep in mind that we want features that will be useful to the majority of our users and not just a small subset. If you're just targeting a minority of users, consider writing an add-on/plugin library.

How Do I Submit a Good Enhancement Suggestion?

Enhancement suggestions are tracked as Gitea issues.

  • Use a clear and descriptive title for the issue to identify the suggestion.
  • Provide a step-by-step description of the suggested enhancement in as many details as possible.
  • Describe the current behavior and explain which behavior you expected to see instead and why. At this point you can also tell which alternatives do not work for you.
  • Explain why this enhancement would be useful to most gege-jdr-backend users. You may also want to point out the other projects that solved it better and which could serve as inspiration.

Your First Code Contribution

Setting Up Your Development Environment

Code contributions are most welcome! To contribute to the project, you will need to the README and install the prerequisites and setup your development environment.

You can use the IDE of your choice, popular options for Rust projects are VSCode or RustRover, but plenty of other code editors are available such as:

Depending on your choice, you may need to install an LSP server and an LSP client on your text editor, such as with Emacs and Vim/NeoVim.

Where Should You Start?

If you want to participate to gege-jdr-backend, but youre not sure what to do, take a look at the opened issues. You way find issues with the help wanted tag where you could weigh in for the resolution of the issue or for decision-making. You may also find issues tagged as good first issue which should be relatively approachable for first time contributors.

Writing Your First Code Contribution

Take your time when reading the code. The existing documentation can help you better understand how the project is built and how the code behaves. If you still have some questions, dont hesitate to reach out to maintainers.

When you start writing your code, only modify what needs to be modified. Each contribution should do one thing and one thing only. Do not, for instance, refactor some code that is unrelated to the main topic of your contribution.

Check often the output of clippy by running just lint, and check if existing tests still pass with just test. Ideally, start by writing new tests that describe the intended behaviour of your contribution with functions that will purposefully fail these tests, then iterate over these functions until they finally pass all tests.

Check also that your code is properly formatted with just format-check. You can format it automatically with just format.

Finally, check if the code coverage of gege-jdr-backend. Ideally, try to stay within the initial percentage of code coverage of the project, and try to stay above 75% of code coverage. If it drops below 60%, your contribution will be rejected automatically until you add more test covering more code.

For writing tests, dont hesitate to take a look at existing tests. You can also read on how to write tests with SQLx in their documentation, as well as some examples of poem tests in the documentation of its test module.

Improving the Documentation

To improve the documentation of gege-jdr-backend, you have two choices:

  • Improve the wiki of the project with high-level, functional documentation
  • Improve the code documentation by adding some rustdoc within the code. You can also take the opportunity to add new tests through code examples in the rustdock; who knows, maybe you will discover a bug writing these tests, which will help improve the code itself!

New Pull Requests

Commit Messages

When creating a new commit, try to follow as closely as possible the Conventional Commits 1.0.0 standard. Each line should not exceed 72 characters in length. Commits shall also be written in the present tense. Use the imperative mood as much as possible when explaining what this commit does.

Instead of Fixed #42 or Fixes #42, write Fix #42

DO NOT increase the project version yourself. This will be up for the maintainers to do so.

Creating the Pull Request

Submit your pull requests to the develop branch. Pull requests to other branches will be refused, unless there is a very specific reason to do so explained in the pull request.

Note: PR means Pull Request.

All PRs must:

  • Branch from develop
  • Target the develop branch, unless specific cases. Maintainers are the only contributors that can create a PR targeting main
  • Live on their own branch, prefixed by feature/ or fix/ (other prefixes can be accepted in specific cases) with the name of the feature or the issue fixed in kebab-case
  • Be rebased on develop if the PR is no longer up to date
  • Pass the CI pipeline (a failed CI pipeline will prevent any merge)

PRs coming from a main, master, develop, release/, hotfix/, or support/ branch will be rejected. PRs not up to date with develop will not be merged.

Simple PRs shall:

  • Have only one topic
  • Have only one commit
  • Have all their commits squashed into one if it contains several commits

If you open a PR whose scope are multiple topics, it will be rejected. Open as many PRs as necessary, one for each topic.

Complex PRs shall:

  • squash uninteresting commits (fixes to earlier commits, typos, syntax, etc…) together
  • keep the major steps into individual commits
