#Contributing to Cryptocat
##Coding style for contributions Please be mindful that you are contributing to security and encryption software. We expect all code to be pre-reviewed for security and to be of high quality.
All contributed code, written in JavaScript, must adhere to the following coding style:
1. Tabs are used for indentation, not spaces.
2. Lines are not ended with semicolons.
3. Use camel case for variables, filenames, and so on.
4. As a rule, use single quotes, (such as 'string'), not double quotes ("string").
5. As a rule, strict-type isEqual is preferred (1 === 1 instead of 1 == 1).
6. Please comment your code sufficiently.
7. Anonymous closures should be used wherever they are useful.
##Contributing or improving translations Please do not send pull requests for translations. Instead, use Transifex. Notify a project manager for Cryptocat on Transifex in case you need assistance.
##Tests
- Run tests using
make tests. - Make sure your code conforms by running
make lint.
##License
All contributed code will automatically be licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL3).
