Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up flask_easyapi for local development.

  1. Fork the flask_easyapi repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/flask_easyapi.git

  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. This is how you set up your fork for local development:

    $ cd flask_easyapi/
$ virtualenv env && . ./env/bin/activate
$ pip installl -r requirements_dev.txt
$ pip install --editable .

  4. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you’re done making changes, make sure to follows black’s style guide and check that your changes pass flake8, the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ black flask_easyapi tests
$ flake8 flask_easyapi tests
$ pytest
$ tox

  6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    $ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

  7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.
  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
  3. The pull request should work for Python 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.com/hXtreme/flask_easyapi/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ pytest tests.test_flask_easyapi

Deploying

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.rst). Then run:

$ bump2version patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags

Github workflow will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
