Contributing and Development

We welcome contributions! To contribute to this repository, please follow these steps:

Code and Testing

Code Style and Structure:
- Pre-Commit Hooks: Install pre-commit hooks in this repository using the pre-commit install command.
- Readable Code Structure: Structure your code in a readable manner. The main logic should be in the default rule function, with implementation details in helper functions. Avoid nested if statements and unnecessary else statements to maintain code clarity and simplicity.
- Remove Debug Statements: Remove any debug statements from your rules.
Automated Tests: We aim for full test coverage, so partial tests will not be accepted. The tests should cover all typical usage scenarios as well as edge cases to ensure robustness.
Testing Tool: It is recommended to run pytest frequently during development to ensure that all aspects of your code are functioning as expected.

Documentation and Maintenance

Changelog: CHANGELOG.md is generated automatically by comittizen from commit messages. Not need to update CHANGELOG.md manually. Focus on informative and clear commit messages which end in the release notes.
Documentation: Regularly check and update the documentation to keep it current.
- PR Descriptions and Documentation: When contributing, describe all changes or new features in the PR (Pull Request) description as well as in the documentation. When changing the style to the output style, attach a thumbnail after the change.
