# Contributing
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your interest! Sanic is always looking for contributors. If you
|
|
don't feel comfortable contributing code, adding docstrings to the source files
|
|
is very appreciated.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
To develop on sanic (and mainly to just run the tests) it is highly recommend to
|
|
install from sources.
|
|
|
|
So assume you have already cloned the repo and are in the working directory with
|
|
a virtual environment already set up, then run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python setup.py develop && pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running tests
|
|
|
|
To run the tests for sanic it is recommended to use tox like so:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
tox
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See it's that simple!
|
|
|
|
## Pull requests!
|
|
|
|
So the pull request approval rules are pretty simple:
|
|
1. All pull requests must pass unit tests
|
|
* All pull requests must be reviewed and approved by at least
|
|
one current collaborator on the project
|
|
* All pull requests must pass flake8 checks
|
|
* If you decide to remove/change anything from any common interface
|
|
a deprecation message should accompany it.
|
|
* If you implement a new feature you should have at least one unit
|
|
test to accompany it.
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
Sanic's documentation is built
|
|
using [sphinx](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/1.5.1/). Guides are written in
|
|
Markdown and can be found in the `docs` folder, while the module reference is
|
|
automatically generated using `sphinx-apidoc`.
|
|
|
|
To generate the documentation from scratch:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sphinx-apidoc -fo docs/_api/ sanic
|
|
sphinx-build -b html docs docs/_build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The HTML documentation will be created in the `docs/_build` folder.
|
|
|
|
## Warning
|
|
|
|
One of the main goals of Sanic is speed. Code that lowers the performance of
|
|
Sanic without significant gains in usability, security, or features may not be
|
|
merged. Please don't let this intimidate you! If you have any concerns about an
|
|
idea, open an issue for discussion and help.
