How to contribute frontend code?

Open ahmed-abderraham opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

If I want to contribute improvements to the frontend code, how am I supposed to build/compile the assets? I see babel and gulp-babel in package.json, but there's no gulpfile.

So is the project dead? Or you are not interested in people contributing and just ignore them instead of saying so?

Maybe try to fork and put the changes for yourself rather than being salty!?

@ahmetson thank you for your constructive comment.

The issue here is that the setup to build the admin's frontend is not there, so "putting the changes for myself" would mean either manually editing already built and minified javascript and css (which would be overwritten when they build again) or constructing that setup from scratch making sure it matches what they have (so I'd have to reverse-engineer it).

This would be solved by them just adding the Gulpfile and related config to the repo, virtually zero work.
