When contributing to this repository, please first discuss the change you wish to make via issue, email, or any other method with the owners of this repository before making a change.
Contributors should follow our code style and practices guide and new ingest functions should use our ingest function template. Suggested changes to the style guide should be discussed with the owners of the repository.
Please note we have a code of conduct; please follow it in all your interactions with the project.
Code should have unit test coverage. When adding code for a sensor, for example, unit tests for that sensor’s parsing code and at least one representative dataset should be included in the inst/example_data folder.
When writing unit tests for ingest functions, consider testing for these items in the resulting data frame.
You can also test that errors are thrown when headers are missing in data files, the data file does not appear to be in the correct format, etc.
If your commits will include R scripts, please run devtools::check to check for common problems, run unit tests, and build Rd files. There should be no errors, warnings, or notes in the R CMD check results.
README.md is created from README.Rmd. To make edits to the readme, first edit README.Rmd and then knit that into README.md. For example, with README.Rmd open in RStudio, click the drop down arrow next to Knit and click Knit to github_document. You can ignore the pandoc error at the end of the output in the R Markdown window.
HTML documentation is built using pkgdown. If your commits affect documentation, which includes changes to README or CONTRIBUTING, please run pkgdown::build_site(). See the wiki for information on pkgdown setup.
