# ReDoc Contributing Guide

Hi! We're really excited that you are interested in contributing to ReDoc. Before submitting your contribution though, please make sure to take a moment and read through the following guidelines.

- [Issue Reporting Guidelines](#issue-reporting-guidelines)
- [Pull Request Guidelines](#pull-request-guidelines)
- [Development Setup](#development-setup)
- [Project Structure](#project-structure)

## Issue Reporting Guidelines
- Before filing a new issue, try to make sure your problem doesn’t already exist.
- The best way to get your bug fixed is to provide a reduced test case.

## Pull Request Guidelines
Before submitting a pull request, please make sure the following is done:

1. Fork the repository and create your branch from master.
2. Run `yarn` in the repository root.
3. If you’ve fixed a bug or added code that should be tested, add tests!
4. Ensure the test suite passes (`yarn test`). Tip: `yarn test --watch TestName` is helpful in development.
5. Format your code with prettier (`yarn prettier`).

## Development Setup

You will need [Node.js](http://nodejs.org) at `v8.0.0+` and [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/en/) at `v1.2.0+`
