Understanding the codebase

redocx uses officegen to generate the documents. So before you start working on adding a new feature or fixing a bug, take a look at the officegen documentation and examples. This will make things easier for you. Also if you need any more help on using officegen and regarding it's documentation, ask me. I am at NTulswani on Twitter

Setting up the environment

Considering you've forked and cloned the repo on your system, switch to the directory and install the dependencies.

cd redocx
npm install

Submitting pull requests

• Create a new branch for the new feature: git checkout -b new-feature
• Make your changes.
• Test everything with npm run test.
• Run npm run lint to check the syntax errors.
• Commit your changes: git commit -m 'Added some new feature'
• Push to the branch: git push origin new-feature
• Submit a pull request with full remarks documenting your changes.

Test the changes locally

You can test your changes locally in the demo folder. Make your changes to word.js and run npm run example. This will render your views and components to docx.

That's it! I am excited to see your pull request.
