Opening an issue

December 11, 2014 ยท View on GitHub

I would like to see an example about $TOPIC

Please check if such topic is already part of our TODO list. If that's not the case, leave your request as a comment on that issue.

There's a typo/error in example $X

Example $X is not clear

I have an idea for example $X

Please include the example id in the issue title, e.g. "variables/mut: concept not clear". The example id is the relative path in the URL without the html extension, e.g. URL: http://rustbyexample.com/variables/scope.html -> id: variables/scope

If its something simple like a typo, you can send a PR directly.

Sending a PR for a small fix

If you are submitting a correction/modification to an existing chapter, please start the commit message with the example id, e.g. "type/literals: fix typo".

I want to contribute an example about $TOPIC

Check if there is an action plan for that topic

Look for issues that have a C-* label:

  • C-new: A new chapter, there probably a lot to do here.

  • C-expand: Expand an existing chapter, new examples are needed.

  • C-split: The current chapter is too long, we want to split it into smaller chunks.

  • C-taken: Someone is already working in this issue, but if there is a lot of work to do, probably you can still help.

Let us know what are you working on

If an issue about the topic already exists, leave a comment there to let us know that you'll help. Otherwise, open a new issue mentioning what topic you plan to work on.

Hack away

See the README for details about how the static site is generated.

Finally, send a PR

  • Don't forget to register the example in the examples/structure.json file.

  • Include the example id in the commit message header, e.g. for literals/string use the message "literals: add example about strings"

  • Add a Close #123 to the commit message, to close the issue that's been used to track your work.

Code Style

Markdown (.md)

  • Lines should contain a maximum of 79 characters.

Instead of:

Use:

[Goto my URL][1]

(Bottom of page)
[1]: http://www.myurl.com

Rust code (.rs)

  • Lines should contain a maximum of 79 characters.
  • In comments, types, methods, macros and variables should be wrapped in backticks, e.g. `println!`
