How to contribute to this project

Development

To contribute to this package, clone it and install it into a virtual environment:

$ git clone git@github.com:Styria-Digital/django-rest-framework-jwt.git
$ cd django-rest-framework-jwt.git
$ pip install -e .[dev]

The most important dependency is tox. It's already listed as a dev dependency so it should be installed if the previous command was run. To check the current tox version, type:

$ pip show tox

If it is not installed, type:

$ pip install tox

Using the demo project

You can use the demo project as you would any other Django project by running $ tox -e serve. This creates a separate tox environment and executes the runserver command using the development settings. If you want to pass additional arguments, e.g. your custom settings, use the following syntax:

$ tox -e serve -- --settings=demo.settings.dev-custom

Testing

To run the test suite against current virtual environment run the pytest while adding the demo and src directories to PYTHONPATH:

$ PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:./demo:./src/ pytest

The whole test suite can be run using tox:

$ tox

or for a specific environment configuration (with coverage):

$ tox -e py27-dj111-drf37 -- --cov=rest_framework_jwt

Changelog

This project uses towncrier for management of changelogs. You don't need to install it yourself since you'll be using it through tox, but please adhere to the following rules:

1. For each pull request, create a new file in the changelog.d directory with a filename adhering to the #mr.(feature|bugfix|doc|removal|misc).md schema. For example, changelog.d/77.bugfix.md that is submitted in the pull request 77. towncrier will automatically add a link to the note when building the final changelog.
2. Wrap symbols like modules, functions, or classes into backticks so they are rendered in a monospace font.
3. If you mention functions or other callables, add parentheses at the end of their names: func() or Class.method(). This makes the changelog a lot more readable.

tox -e changelog -- --draft will render the current changelog to the terminal if you have any doubts.

Documentation

To build the documentation, run the following command:

$ tox -e docs

To deploy documentation to GitHub run:

$ mkdocs gh-deploy

The documentation should be available in /html/index.html.

Make release and upload to PyPI.org

The CI environment should build packages and upload them to the PyPI server when a tag is pushed to origin. Therefore, if you want to make a new release, all you have to do is execute the release environment in tox:

$ tox -e release

This environment will merge the changelogs from the changelog.d directory into CHANGELOG.md, bump the minor version (by default) using bumpversion, commit the changes, create a tag and push the changes and the tags to origin.

If you want to make a patch release, type:

$ tox -e release -- patch

If Travis CI builds were successful release should be automatically uploaded to PyPI.org.
