Contribute Code or Provide Feedback

If you would like to become an active contributor to this project please follow the instructions provided in Microsoft Azure Projects Contribution Guidelines.

Project Steup

The Azure Storage development team uses Visual Studio Code so instructions will be tailored to that preference. However, any preferred IDE or other toolset should be usable.

Install

Development Environment Setup

To get the source code of the SDK via git just type:

git clone https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-node.git
cd ./azure-storage-node

Then, run NPM to install all the NPM dependencies:

npm install

Tests

Running

Unit tests don't require real credentials and don't require any environment varaibles to be set. By default the unit tests are run with Nock recording data.

If you would like to run the unit test against a live storage account, you will need to setup environment variables which will be used. These test will use these credentials to run live tests against Azure with the provided credentials. Note that you will be charged for storage usage. You need verify the clean up script did its job at the end of a test run.

Unit tests can then be run from root directory using:

npm test

To run unit tests against a live storage account, please set environment variable to turn off Nock by:

export NOCK_OFF=true

and set up the following environment variables for storage account credentials by:

export AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING="valid storage connection string"

or

export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT="valid storage account name"
export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY="valid storage account key"

Testing Features

As you develop a feature, you'll need to write tests to ensure quality. Your changes should be covered by both unit tests. You should also run existing tests related to your change to address any unexpected breaks.

Pull Requests

Guidelines

The following are the minimum requirements for any pull request that must be met before contributions can be accepted.

  • Make sure you've signed the CLA before you start working on any change.
  • Discuss any proposed contribution with the team via a GitHub issue before starting development.
  • Code must be professional quality
    • No style issues
    • You should strive to mimic the style with which we have written the library
    • Clean, well-commented, well-designed code
    • Try to limit the number of commits for a feature to 1-2. If you end up having too many we may ask you to squash your changes into fewer commits.
  • ChangeLog.md needs to be updated describing the new change
  • Thoroughly test your feature

Branching Policy

Changes should be based on the dev branch, not master as master is considered publicly released code. Each breaking change should be recorded in BreakingChanges.md.

Adding Features for All Platforms

We strive to release each new feature for each of our environments at the same time. Therefore, we ask that all contributions be written for Node v0.10 and later.

Review Process

We expect all guidelines to be met before accepting a pull request. As such, we will work with you to address issues we find by leaving comments in your code. Please understand that it may take a few iterations before the code is accepted as we maintain high standards on code quality. Once we feel comfortable with a contribution, we will validate the change and accept the pull request.

Thank you for any contributions! Please let the team know if you have any questions or concerns about our contribution policy.
