Esri welcomes contributions to our open source projects on Github. Please see our guidelines for contributing.
We do not currently accept new PRs for full features, for example a new Toolkit component or a significant change to an existing Toolkit component, but we do encourage you to submit issues for:
- Bugs you find while using the Toolkit.
- Requests for new Toolkit components or enhancements to existing Toolkit Components.
This guide describes how you can contribute improvements to the ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET Toolkit source code.
- Make sure you have a GitHub account.
- To add an enhancement or fix a problem, create an issue.
- Be descriptive: Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce and, if possible, a sample.
- If an enhancement, clearly describe the additional functionality and provide a good use case to support it.
- Fork the ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET Toolkit repo on GitHub.
- Clone it to your local machine.
- Checkout the main branch.
- Create a new feature branch on your local machine. The name of the branch is not important.
- Write code to add an enhancement or fix a problem.
- Follow the coding conventions already used in the Toolkit source code.
- Document your code.
- Make commits of logical units.
- Use clear and descriptive commit messages.
- Self-review your code.
- Test your code.
- Push the changes in your feature branch to your repo.
- Submit a pull request against the "main" branch.
- In the pull request comments, add a reference to the issue the pull request resolves. For example, if the pull request resolves issue 45, add a comment to the pull request that includes
#45
.
Expect a good amount of feedback as part of any pull request.
- Pull requests will be reviewed and tested, and may be rejected for various reasons.
- If a PR is rejected because it would cause a breaking change or includes a feature that is out of scope, it will be closed permanently.
- If a PR is rejected because the proposed changes failed code review or testing, please review feedback, fix and reopen as necessary.
