## Code of Conduct
30+
31+
This project and everyone participating in it is governed by the
32+
[Flask-Utils Code of Conduct](https://github.com/Seluj78/flask-utilsblob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
33+
By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior
34+
to <jules.lasne+conduct@gmail.com>.
35+
36+
37+
## I Have a Question
38+
39+
> If you want to ask a question, we assume that you have read the available [Documentation](https://flask-utils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
40+
41+
Before you ask a question, it is best to search for existing [Issues](https://github.com/Seluj78/flask-utils/issues) that might help you. In case you have found a suitable issue and still need clarification, you can write your question in this issue. It is also advisable to search the internet for answers first.
42+
43+
If you then still feel the need to ask a question and need clarification, we recommend the following:
44+
45+
- Open an [Issue](https://github.com/Seluj78/flask-utils/issues/new).
46+
- Provide as much context as you can about what you're running into.
47+
- Provide project and platform versions (pip, python, OS), depending on what seems relevant.
48+
49+
We will then take care of the issue as soon as possible.
50+
51+

### Reporting Bugs
57+
58+
<!-- omit in toc -->
59+
#### Before Submitting a Bug Report
60+
61+
A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more information. Therefore, we ask you to investigate carefully, collect information and describe the issue in detail in your report. Please complete the following steps in advance to help us fix any potential bug as fast as possible.
62+
63+
- Make sure that you are using the latest version.
64+
- Determine if your bug is really a bug and not an error on your side e.g. using incompatible environment components/versions (Make sure that you have read the [documentation](https://flask-utils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/). If you are looking for support, you might want to check [this section](#i-have-a-question)).
65+
- To see if other users have experienced (and potentially already solved) the same issue you are having, check if there is not already a bug report existing for your bug or error in the [bug tracker](https://github.com/Seluj78/flask-utilsissues?q=label%3Abug).
66+
- Also make sure to search the internet (including Stack Overflow) to see if users outside of the GitHub community have discussed the issue.
67+
- Collect information about the bug:
68+
- Stack trace (Traceback)
69+
- OS, Platform and Version (Windows, Linux, macOS, x86, ARM)
70+
- Version of the interpreter, compiler, SDK, runtime environment, package manager, depending on what seems relevant.
71+
- Possibly your input and the output
72+
- Can you reliably reproduce the issue? And can you also reproduce it with older versions?
73+
74+
<!-- omit in toc -->
75+
#### How Do I Submit a Good Bug Report?
76+
77+
> You must never report security related issues, vulnerabilities or bugs including sensitive information to the issue tracker, or elsewhere in public. Instead sensitive bugs must be sent by email to <jules.lasne+security@gmail.com>.
78+
<!-- You may add a PGP key to allow the messages to be sent encrypted as well. -->
79+
80+
We use GitHub issues to track bugs and errors. If you run into an issue with the project:
81+
82+
- Open an [Issue](https://github.com/Seluj78/flask-utils/issues/new). (Since we can't be sure at this point whether it is a bug or not, we ask you not to talk about a bug yet and not to label the issue.)
83+
- Explain the behavior you would expect and the actual behavior.
84+
- Please provide as much context as possible and describe the *reproduction steps* that someone else can follow to recreate the issue on their own. This usually includes your code. For good bug reports you should isolate the problem and create a reduced test case.
85+
- Provide the information you collected in the previous section.
86+
87+
Once it's filed:
88+
89+
- The project team will label the issue accordingly.
90+
- A team member will try to reproduce the issue with your provided steps. If there are no reproduction steps or no obvious way to reproduce the issue, the team will ask you for those steps and mark the issue as `needs-repro`. Bugs with the `needs-repro` tag will not be addressed until they are reproduced.
91+
- If the team is able to reproduce the issue, it will be marked `needs-fix`, as well as possibly other tags (such as `critical`), and the issue will be left to be [implemented by someone](#your-first-code-contribution).
92+
93+
<!-- You might want to create an issue template for bugs and errors that can be used as a guide and that defines the structure of the information to be included. If you do so, reference it here in the description. -->
94+
95+
96+
### Suggesting Enhancements
97+
98+
This section guides you through submitting an enhancement suggestion for Flask-Utils, **including completely new features and minor improvements to existing functionality**. Following these guidelines will help maintainers and the community to understand your suggestion and find related suggestions.
99+
100+
<!-- omit in toc -->
101+
#### Before Submitting an Enhancement
102+
103+
- Make sure that you are using the latest version.
104+
- Read the [documentation](https://flask-utils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) carefully and find out if the functionality is already covered, maybe by an individual configuration.
105+
- Perform a [search](https://github.com/Seluj78/flask-utils/issues) to see if the enhancement has already been suggested. If it has, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one.
106+
- Find out whether your idea fits with the scope and aims of the project. It's up to you to make a strong case to convince the project's developers of the merits of this feature. Keep in mind that we want features that will be useful to the majority of our users and not just a small subset. If you're just targeting a minority of users, consider writing an add-on/plugin library.
107+
108+
<!-- omit in toc -->
109+
#### How Do I Submit a Good Enhancement Suggestion?
110+
111+
Enhancement suggestions are tracked as [GitHub issues](https://github.com/Seluj78/flask-utils/issues).
112+
113+
- Use a **clear and descriptive title** for the issue to identify the suggestion.
114+
- Provide a **step-by-step description of the suggested enhancement** in as many details as possible.
115+
- **Describe the current behavior** and **explain which behavior you expected to see instead** and why. At this point you can also tell which alternatives do not work for you.
116+
- You may want to **include screenshots and animated GIFs** which help you demonstrate the steps or point out the part which the suggestion is related to. You can use [this tool](https://www.cockos.com/licecap/) to record GIFs on macOS and Windows, and [this tool](https://github.com/colinkeenan/silentcast) or [this tool](https://github.com/GNOME/byzanz) on Linux. <!-- this should only be included if the project has a GUI -->
117+
- **Explain why this enhancement would be useful** to most Flask-Utils users. You may also want to point out the other projects that solved it better and which could serve as inspiration.
118+
119+
<!-- You might want to create an issue template for enhancement suggestions that can be used as a guide and that defines the structure of the information to be included. If you do so, reference it here in the description. -->
120+
121+
### Your First Code Contribution
122+
123+
First of all, you'll need to fork the project. Head on to https://github.com/Seluj78/flask-utils/fork and click the `Create fork` button. This will create a copy of the project in your GitHub account.
124+
125+
Next, you'll need to clone the project to your local machine. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
126+
127+
```bash
128+
git clone https://github.com/Seluj78/flask-utils.git
129+
```
130+
or if you have set up SSH keys with GitHub:
131+
```bash
132+
git clone git@github.com:Seluj78/flask-utils.git
133+
```
134+
135+
Next, you can create a virtual environment and install the project's dependencies:
136+
137+
```bash
138+
cd flask-utils
139+
python -m venv venv
140+
source venv/bin/activate
141+
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
142+
```
143+
144+
We recommend using any version of Python 3.8 or higher.
145+
146+
Once the requirements are installed, you can activate `pre-commit` which will run some checks before you commit your changes:
147+
148+
```bash
149+
pre-commit install
150+
pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg
151+
```
152+
153+
Now you can make your changes. Once you're done, you can run the tests to make sure everything is working as expected:
154+
155+
```bash
156+
tox
157+
```
158+
159+
If the tests pass, you can commit your changes in a branch and create a pull request.
160+
161+
### Improving The Documentation
162+
163+
Improving the documentation is a great way to contribute to the project. The documentation is hosted on Read the Docs and is written in reStructuredText. You can find the documentation in the `docs` directory, as well as in the code docstrings.
164+
Don't hesitate to open issues or pull requests to improve the documentation !
165+
166+
## Styleguides
167+
### Commit Messages
168+
169+
You can find the rules [here](https://github.com/Seluj78/flask-utils/blob/main/scripts/lint-commit.sh) but the gist of it is:
170+
171+
```
172+
Prefix: My message no longer than 72 characters
173+
```
174+
175+
You can add as much text as you want in the body of the commit message. The prefix could, for example, be one of the following:
176+
177+
- `Tests`: for changes to the test suite
178+
- `Docs`: for changes to the documentation
179+
- `Decorators`: for changes to the decorators
180+
- `CI/CD`: for changes to the CI/CD pipeline
181+
182+
etc... We will let you know anyway if a commit is not following the guidelines.
183+
