Contributing

Filing Bugs

Issues are filed on Github.

Hacking

You can fork us on Github, then send a pull request.

A lot of the apps should be able to run in a web browser (particularly Firefox Nightly), but sometimes you may need to run them on B2G until new APIs land in browsers. See Gaia/Hacking to get started.

Communicating

You can find us in #gaia on irc.mozilla.org and we use the B2G mailing list.

Coding Style

Background:

make sure HTML files are declared <!DOCTYPE html> (i.e., HTML5). IE9+ will load them in compatibility mode otherwise.

add a "use strict"; statement (exactly that!) to the top of your JS files

2 spaces for indentation - do not use tab.

Line break are free (I promise) don't hesitate to use them to separate logical block inside your functions.

Files are named like_this.js.

Use single quote instead of double quotes.

Additional rules:

Bad:

if (expression) doSomething();

Correct:

if (expression)
  doSomething();

Before submitting a patch

On each javascript files you are adding or you have modified, run:

gjslint --nojsdoc my_file.js
