## Contributing ## Contribution
Several steps to start contributing: A few steps how to start contributing:
1. [Fork X-editable](https://github.com/vitalets/x-editable/fork)
2.
Please make all pull requests against `dev` branch. Thanks for your support!
### Important notes 1.[Fork X-editable](https://github.com/vitalets/x-editable/fork)
Please don't edit files in the `dist` subdirectory as they are generated via grunt. You'll find source code in the `src` subdirectory!
While grunt can run the included unit tests via PhantomJS, this shouldn't be considered a substitute for the real thing. Please be sure to test the `test/*.html` unit test file(s) in _actual_ browsers.
### Installing grunt 2.Arrange local directory structure. It should be:
_This assumes you have [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and [npm](http://npmjs.org/) installed already._ **x-editable**
| -- **lib** (repo related to <code>dev</code> and <code>master</code> branches)
| -- **gh-pages** (repo related to <code>gh-pages</code> branch for docs & demo)
| -- **playground** (simple node-server and html page for testing, [playground.zip](https://github.com/downloads/vitalets/x-editable/playground.zip))
1. Test that grunt is installed globally by running `grunt --version` at the command-line. To make it easy follow this script ( _assuming you have [nodejs](http://nodejs.org) installed_ ).
1. If grunt isn't installed globally, run `npm install -g grunt` to install the latest version. _You may need to run `sudo npm install -g grunt`._ Please replace <code>&lt;your-github-name&gt;</code> with your name:
1. From the root directory of this project, run `npm install` to install the project's dependencies. ````
mkdir x-editable
cd x-editable
### Installing PhantomJS #lib
git clone https://github.com/<your-github-name>/x-editable.git -b dev lib
cd lib
#install gruntjs globally - building tool
npm install -g grunt
#install other dependencies - grunt-contrib
npm install
cd ..
In order for the qunit task to work properly, [PhantomJS](http://www.phantomjs.org/) must be installed and in the system PATH (if you can run "phantomjs" at the command line, this task should work). #gh-pages
git clone https://github.com/<your-github-name>/x-editable.git -b gh-pages gh-pages
cd gh-pages
npm install
cd ..
Unfortunately, PhantomJS cannot be installed automatically via npm or grunt, so you need to install it yourself. There are a number of ways to install PhantomJS. #playground
#download playground.zip from https://github.com/downloads/vitalets/x-editable/playground.zip
unzip playground.zip
cd playground
npm install
````
3.That's it! You can start editing files in **lib/src** directory or create new editable input/container/whatever.
To test the result go to **playground**, start server <code>node server.js</code> and open in your browser [http://localhost:3000/playground](http://localhost:3000/playground).
* [PhantomJS and Mac OS X](http://ariya.ofilabs.com/2012/02/phantomjs-and-mac-os-x.html) 4.To run unit tests you can open it directly in browser **lib/test/index.html**.
* [PhantomJS Installation](http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/Installation) (PhantomJS wiki) Or use grunt's _qunit_ task <code>grunt test</code>. For that you also need to [install PhantomJS](https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/blob/master/docs/faq.md#why-does-grunt-complain-that-phantomjs-isnt-installed)
Note that the `phantomjs` executable needs to be in the system `PATH` for grunt to see it. 5.To build lib + docs:
* run <code>grunt build</code> in **lib** directory
* run <code>build data-docs-dist</code> in **gh-pages** directory
You will get distributive in **lib/dist** and updated docs in **gh-pages/*.html**.
* [How to set the path and environment variables in Windows](http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm) 6.Commit changes on <code>dev</code> branch and make pull request as usual.
* [Where does $PATH get set in OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard?](http://superuser.com/questions/69130/where-does-path-get-set-in-os-x-10-6-snow-leopard)
* [How do I change the PATH variable in Linux](https://www.google.com/search?q=How+do+I+change+the+PATH+variable+in+Linux) Thanks for your support!
