Contributing

Thank you for your interest in contributing to our fetch polyfill!

Note that we only accept features that are also described in the official fetch specification. However, the aim of this project is not to implement the complete specification; just the parts that are possible to emulate using XMLHttpRequest.

Contributions to this project are released to the public under the project's open source license.

Running tests

Running npm test will:

  1. Build the dist/ files;
  2. Run the test suite in headless Chrome & Firefox;
  3. Run the same test suite in Web Worker mode.

When editing tests or implementation, keep npm run karma running:

  • You can connect additional browsers by navigating to http://localhost:9876/;
  • Changes to test.js will automatically re-run the tests in all connected browsers;
  • When changing fetch.js, re-run tests by executing make;
  • Re-run specific tests with ./node_modules/.bin/karma run -- --grep=<PATTERN>.

Submitting a pull request

  1. Fork and clone the repository;
  2. Create a new branch: git checkout -b my-branch-name;
  3. Make your change, push to your fork and submit a pull request;
  4. Pat your self on the back and wait for your pull request to be reviewed.

Here are a few things you can do that will increase the likelihood of your pull request being accepted:

  • Keep your change as focused as possible. If there are multiple changes you would like to make that are not dependent upon each other, consider submitting them as separate pull requests.
  • Write a good commit message.
