Get Started!

Ready to contribute? The easiest way to work on djangorestframework-recaptcha for local development is to use Docker. djangorestframework-recaptcha come with a Dockerfile and a Makefile that implements all the needed stuff and helpers to work on this project.

  1. Install Docker.
  2. Fork the djangorestframework-recaptcha GitHub repository.
  3. Clone your fork locally:
$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/django-rest-framework-recaptcha.git
  1. Create a branch for local development:
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

Now you can make your changes locally.

  1. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass format check, flake8, complexity and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:
$ make check-format
$ make style
$ make complexity
$ make test-all
  1. Format your code and then commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:
$ make format
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
  1. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.
  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring.
  3. The pull request should work for Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/Maximilien-R/django-rest-framework-recaptcha/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
  4. Your code need to be formatted. On this project we use the black code formatter. You can easily format your code with this command: make format.

Deploying

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.rst). Then run:

$ make bumpversion -e VERSION_PART=patch # options: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags

Travis will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.

Translations

You can also participate in the project by adding new language or improving translations.

To add a new language:

$ make build-translations -e LOCALE=en

To update available languages and check for new strings:

$ make update-translations

To compile translations:

$ make compile-translations
