How to Contribute - Flowbite Svelte

Here are some guidelines we’d like you to follow before submitting a PR.

Create a fork #

Create a fork from Flowbite-Svelte to your repository first.

Please use pnpm to install #

The repo uses pnpm, so using pnpm is desirable when you fork and install dependencies to avoid unseen problems.

When there is a change in package.json, remove pnpm-lock.yml and node_modules directory and run pnpm i.

Tailwind CSS #

Tailwind warns that you don’t construct class names dynamically. Instead of this:

<div class="text-{{ error ? 'red' : 'green' }}-600"></div>

Always use complete class names:

<div class="{{ error ? 'text-red-600' : 'text-green-600' }}"></div>

Types and Props #

Add a type to exported variables. When we generate props files, it will automatically pick up types from your file. If you don’t add a type, it will break.

Use `lib/types file for nested objects.

// these work
export let icons: AccordionIconType = {
  up: ChevronUpSolid,
  down: ChevronDownSolid
};

export let child: TopMenuType[] | undefined = undefined;
...

// doesn't work
export let comment: CommentType = {
  id: number | string;
  user: {
    name: string;
    joined: string;
  };
};
// put it in lib/types
export interface CommentType {
  id: number | string;
  user: {
    name: string;
    joined: string;
  };
};

// then 
export let comment: CommentType;

See more details in the createprops’ README file.

Please run the following to update prop files.

npm run gen:props

This script will update/generate files in src/routes/props.

Again avoid type inference for exported variables.

Conventional commit #

When making a commit, we recommend using the Conventional commits.

Some examples are:

feat: add rating component
fix: add if statement to Button component
chore: clean up About page
docs: add timeline page
style: update home page
test: add modal test

Use ! for a minor bump.

feat!: add drawer component and page

When you have a breaking change:

git commit -a "feat: change btnClass name to bClass" -m "BREAKING CHANGE: change the Button component attributes"
