Contributing to Select2
=======================
Looking to contribute something to Select2? **Here's how you can help.**
# Guidelines for Getting Help with Select2
Please take a moment to review this document in order to make the contribution
process easy and effective for everyone involved.
**Before** you open a new issue, you must **read these guidelines.** If it is evident from your issue that you failed to research your question properly, **your issue may be closed** without being answered.
Following these guidelines helps to communicate that you respect the time of
the developers managing and developing this open source project. In return,
they should reciprocate that respect in addressing your issue or assessing
patches and features.
## Troubleshooting
Using the issue tracker
-----------------------
When [reporting bugs][reporting-bugs] or
[requesting features][requesting-features], the
[issue tracker on GitHub][issue-tracker] is the recommended channel to use.
There are some common problems that developers may encounter when using working with Select2 for the first time. **If you are new to Select2**, please consult the [common problems](https://select2.org/troubleshooting/common-problems) section of the documentation first.
The issue tracker **is not** a place for support requests. The
[mailing list][community] or [IRC channel][community] are better places to
get help.
If you don't find what you're looking for there, then please check the the [forums](https://forums.select2.org), [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/jquery-select2) and [existing issues](https://github.com/select2/select2/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue), both opened and closed. Your question may have already been asked and answered before!
Reporting bugs with Select2
---------------------------
We really appreciate clear bug reports that _consistently_ show an issue
_within Select2_.
## Asking for Help
The ideal bug report follows these guidelines:
In general, the Github issue tracker should **only** be used for **bug reports** and **feature requests**. If you're just having trouble getting something to work, you should ask in the [forums](https://forums.select2.org) or on [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com) instead.
1. **Use the [GitHub issue search][issue-search]** — Check if the issue
has already been reported.
2. **Check if the issue has been fixed** — Try to reproduce the problem
using the code in the `master` branch.
3. **Isolate the problem** — Try to create an
[isolated test case][isolated-case] that consistently reproduces the problem.
### Rules for all community platforms
Please try to be as detailed as possible in your bug report, especially if an
isolated test case cannot be made. Some useful questions to include the answer
to are:
1. Be polite, civil and respectful. Select2 is built and maintained entirely by volunteers.
2. If you are not conversationally proficient in English, **do not just post a machine translation** (e.g. Google Translate). Post in your native language, so that others who speak your language can help. You may post a machine translation below it for the general community to decipher.
3. Any code snippets should be formatted using [Markdown code fences](https://learn.userfrosting.com/troubleshooting/getting-help#use-markdown-to-format-blocks-of-code) and properly indented. Poorly formatted code is difficult to read and reflects badly on you as a programmer.
4. Check what you write for spelling and grammar issues. If you want others to take the time to read your question carefully, you must write your question carefully.
5. When possible create and link to a [minimal, complete, and verifiable](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) example by cloning our [JSBin template](http://jsbin.com/goqiqolete/edit?html,js,output). Code dumps, zip files, etc are NOT acceptable.
6. Include relevant screenshots or animations, if possible. Drag your screenshots directly into the forums or issue tracker text box. They will automatically be uploaded and the Markdown to display them will be generated. Avoid third-party image hosts, or links which require extra clicks to view the image (except IRC, where this is unavoidable).
- What steps can be used to reproduce the issue?
- What is the bug and what is the expected outcome?
- What browser(s) and Operating System have you tested with?
- Does the bug happen consistently across all tested browsers?
- What version of jQuery are you using? And what version of Select2?
- Are you using Select2 with other plugins?
### Stack Overflow
All of these questions will help others fix and identify any potential bugs.
Tag your question with the `jquery-select2` tag, and optionally with tags relevant to other technologies involved, such as `jquery` or another client-side framework. You should also mention the version of Select2 that you are using.
### GitHub Issue Tracker
We really appreciate clear bug reports that _consistently_ show an issue _within Select2_. If you are reporting a bug, you **must** follow these steps:
1. Make sure that your issue is a bug or feature request. General usage and troubleshooting questions should be directed to the [forums](https://forums.select2.org) or [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/jquery-select2). Issues asking for general support WILL BE CLOSED automatically.
2. Search the current issues, both open and closed, for a similar issue. If the bug is still present but the relevant issue has been closed, you may ask us to reopen the issue. Duplicate issues will be closed automatically.
3. Make sure that you are using the latest stable version of Select2 (see the [release history](https://github.com/select2/select2/releases)). Old minor/patch versions will not be supported.
4. State the steps needed to reproduce the problem.
5. Report any errors in detail. Vague issues like "it doesn't work when I do this" are not helpful. Show that you have put some effort into identifying the cause of the error. Check your [browser console](https://learn.userfrosting.com/troubleshooting/debugging#client-side-debugging) for any Javascript error messages.
6. Mention your version of Select2, as well as the browser(s) and operating system(s) in which the problem occurs.
Requesting features in Select2
------------------------------
Select2 is a large library that carries with it a lot of functionality. Because
of this, many feature requests will not be implemented in the core library.
Before starting work on a major feature for Select2, **contact the
[community][community] first** or you may risk spending a considerable amount of

### Setting up the documentation repo
The documentation for Select2 is maintained in a [separate repository](https://github.com/select2/docs). Select2.org is built with the flat-file CMS [Grav](http://getgrav.org), using their [RTFM skeleton](https://github.com/getgrav/grav-skeleton-rtfm-site#rtfm-skeleton).
The documentation files themselves are written in Markdown, and can be found in the `pages/` subdirectory. You can submit pull requests to the `develop` branch of the repo.
If you'd like to set up a local instance of the entire documentation website, you must first have a web server (Nginx, Apache, etc) and PHP installed locally. Then, follow these steps:
#### Step 1 - Install Grav
This application uses the [Grav](https://learn.getgrav.org/) CMS. This repository does not contain a full Grav installation - rather, it just contains the contents of Grav's `user` directory, which is where all of our content, themes, and assets live. This was done as per the [recommendation on Grav's blog](https://getgrav.org/blog/developing-with-github-part-2), to make it easier to deploy changes to the live server.
To install this website on your computer, first [install grav core](https://getgrav.org/downloads) in a project folder called `select2-docs` under your webserver's document root folder. Then, find the `user` folder inside of your project folder. Delete the contents of the `user` folder and clone this repository directly into the user folder.
When you're done it might look something like this:
```
htdocs/
└── select2-docs/
├── assets/
├── ...
├── user/
├── .git
├── accounts/
├── assets/
├── config/
└── ...
└── ...
```
#### Step 2
Grav needs your webserver to be able to write to certain directories. Make sure that `backup/`, `cache/`, `images/`, `logs/`, and `tmp/` are all writeable by the user account under which your webserver runs.
#### Step 3
Visit the local installation in your browser! For example, [http://localhost/select2-docs](http://localhost/select2-docs).
