Contributing

Contributions are welcome, and they are greatly appreciated! Every little bit helps, and credit will always be given. You can contribute in many ways:

Types of Contributions

Contribute new data components

Please consider contributing any data components your develop back to the Jetstream community.

In the naming of any contributed component package, please use form jetstream.<title><type> where <type> is the component type (input/ introspect/transform/output), and <title> describes the functionality. For example ‘jetstream.podioinput’ would be the name of an Input component that reads data from the Podio (http://www.podio.com) service via its HTTP API.

Also, please add “jetstream” as a package keyword.

Write Documentation

Jetstream could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official jetstream docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.

Look through the GitHub issues for features. Anything tagged with “docs” is open to whoever wants to add the documentation.

Submit Feedback

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/koodaamo/jetstream/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

  • Explain in detail how it would work.
  • Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
  • Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)

Get Started!

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

  1. Fork the jetstream repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

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

3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:

$ mkvirtualenv jetstream
$ cd jetstream/
$ python setup.py develop
  1. 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, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

  $ flake8 jetstream tests
        $ python setup.py test
  $ tox

To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.
  1. 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
  2. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, please 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. Add the new feature to the list in README.rst.
  3. The pull request should work for Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/koodaamo/jetstream/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ python -m unittest tests.test_jetstream
