Contributing#

gustaf welcomes and appreciates discussions, issues and pull requests!

Quick start#

Once the repo is forked, one possible starting point would be creating a new python environments, for example, using conda with python=3.9

conda create -n gustafenv python=3.9
conda activate gustafenv
git clone git@github.com:<path-to-your-fork>
cd gustaf
git checkout -b new-feature0
pip install -e .[all]

Style / implementation preferences#

use if and raise instead of assert
no complex comprehensions: preferably fits in a line, 2 lines max if it is totally necessary
use first letter abbreviations in element loops: for kv in knot_vectors
use i, j, k, l for pure index: for i, kv in enumerate(knot_vectors)

Formatting and style check#

To check the format and style of your code use the following commands:

pip install pre-commit
precommit run -a

Local docs build#

To check if documentations look as intended, you can build it locally. Remember, spline extensions will be empty if you don’t have splinepy available.

pip install -r ./docs/requirements.txt
sphinx-apidoc -f -t docs/source/_templates -o docs/source gustaf
sphinx-build -b html docs/source docs/build

Now, you can check documentations by opening docs/build/index.html with a browser.

Bash script for format and documentation build checking#

Thanks to github, we have a CI that runs tests and checks for PRs. However, in case you’d like to check this locally, here are sequence of commands as a function:

# run this at repo's root
function gustaf_commit() {
    pre-commit run -a
    rm -r docs/build
    rm docs/source/*.*.rst docs/source/gustaf.rst docs/source/modules.rst
    sphinx-apidoc -f -t docs/source/_templates -o docs/source gustaf
    sphinx-build -b html docs/source docs/build
    pytest tests
}
