Contributing to API Platform

First of all, thank you for contributing, you're awesome!

To have your code integrated in the API Platform project, there are some rules to follow, but don't panic, it's easy!

Reporting Bugs

If you happen to find a bug, we kindly request you to report it. However, before submitting it, please:

Then, if it appears that it's a real bug, you may report it using GitHub by following these 3 points:

  • Check if the bug is not already reported!
  • A clear title to resume the issue
  • A description of the workflow needed to reproduce the bug

NOTE: Don't hesitate giving as much information as you can (OS, browser, ...)

Pull Requests

Writing a Pull Request

Please base your changes on the main branch.

Two ways to write your patch

You can patch @api-platform/admin by two different ways:

Linking the Source Version to an Existing Project

If you already have a project in progress, you can develop directly from it.

The instructions below explain how to install the source version of API Platform Admin in your project and contribute a patch.

Your client should already use @api-platform/admin and its bootstrap file (usually: src/App.tsx) should at least contains:

import React from 'react';
import { HydraAdmin } from '@api-platform/admin';

function App() {
  return (
    <HydraAdmin entrypoint="https://demo.api-platform.com" />
  )
}

export default App

Install your own version of @api-platform/admin:

cd ..
git clone https://github.com/api-platform/admin.git

Link it:

cd admin
yarn link
cd ../<yourproject>
yarn link "@api-platform/admin"

Use the React version of your project to build @api-platform/admin:

cd node_modules/react/
yarn link
cd ../../../admin
yarn link react

Build continuously your @api-platform/admin version:

yarn install --force
yarn watch

Open a new terminal console with the same path.

Start your client:

cd ../<yourproject>/
yarn install --force
yarn dev --force

You can now hack in the cloned repository of api-platform-admin.

Running Admin Through Storybook

If you do not have an existing project, you can use Storybook to visualize changes in the source code, and test them.

This development stack consists of two Docker containers:

  • pwa: containing the <Admin> sources and Storybook;
  • php: holding the API sources.

Additionally, this method allows testing the integration between API Platform and the admin component by writing stories, scenarios and tests.

Install everything:

docker compose up

Before accessing the Storybook instance, make sure to go to https://localhost to accept the self-signed certificate. Once it's done, you'll see the API documentation running on a customized version of Swagger UI.

Now you can go to http://localhost:3000/ to see the Storybook instance in action. The changes you'll make in the source code will be hot-reloaded.

Tips: you can run Storybook directly in your local machine by running yarn storybook. It will take another port, usually 3001. Make sure to have the API running before.

To run a command directly inside a container, run:

# Run a command in the php container
docker compose exec -T php your-command

# Run a command in the pwa container
docker compose exec -T pwa your-command

Testing Your Changes

Before sending a Pull Request, make sure the tests pass correctly:

# Functional tests
yarn test
# End to end tests
yarn test-storybook --url http://127.0.0.1:3000/

If you add a new feature, don't forget to add tests for it.

Matching Coding Standards

The API Platform Admin project follows coding standards inspired by the Airbnb JavaScript style guide. But don't worry, you can fix CS issues automatically using the ESLint tool:

yarn fix

And then, add the fixed files to your commit before pushing. Be sure to add only your modified files. If any other file is fixed by CS tools, just revert it before committing.

Sending a Pull Request

When you send a PR, just make sure that:

  • You add valid test cases (Jest).
  • Tests are green.
  • You make a PR on the related documentation in the api-platform/docs repository.
  • You make the PR on the same branch you based your changes on. If you see commits that you did not make in your PR, you're doing it wrong.
  • Also don't forget to add a comment when you update a PR with a ping to the maintainers, so he/she will get a notification.
  • Squash your commits into one commit (see the next chapter).

All Pull Requests must include this header.

Squash your Commits

If you have 3 commits, start with:

git rebase -i HEAD~3

An editor will be opened with your 3 commits, all prefixed by pick.

Replace all pick prefixes by fixup (or f) except the first commit of the list.

Save and quit the editor.

After that, all your commits will be squashed into the first one and the commit message will be the first one.

If you would like to rename your commit message, type:

git commit --amend

Now force push to update your PR:

git push --force-with-lease

Tag a New Version (Contributors Only)

Always execute the tests before releasing a new version:

yarn build
yarn test
yarn lint

To fix linting errors, you can use yarn fix.

To release a new version:

yarn version # this creates a tag and a commit
git push
git push --tags

Travis will then publish the version on npm.
