DefinitelyTyped/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md

1.6 KiB

Please fill in this template.

  • Make your PR against the master branch.
  • Use a meaningful title for the pull request. Include the name of the package modified.
  • Test the change in your own code. (Compile and run.)
  • Follow the advice from the readme.
  • Avoid common mistakes.
  • Run tsc without errors.
  • Run npm run lint package-name if a tslint.json is present.

Select one of these and delete the others:

If adding a new definition:

  • The package does not provide its own types, and you can not add them.
  • If this is for an NPM package, match the name. If not, do not conflict with the name of an NPM package.
  • Create it with npm run new-package package-name, not by basing it on an existing project.
  • tslint.json should be present, and tsconfig.json should have noImplicitAny, noImplicitThis, and strictNullChecks set to true.

If changing an existing definition:

  • Provide a URL to documentation or source code which provides context for the suggested changes: <>
  • Increase the version number in the header if appropriate.
  • If you are making substantial changes, consider adding a tslint.json containing { "extends": "../tslint.json" }.

If removing a declaration:

  • If a package was never on DefinitelyTyped, you don't need to do anything. (If you wrote a package and provided types, you don't need to register it with us.)
  • Delete the package's directory.
  • Add it to notNeededPackages.json.
