Contributing to the AWS SDK for JavaScript

We work hard to provide a high-quality and useful SDK, and we greatly value feedback and contributions from our community. Whether it's a bug report, new feature, correction, or additional documentation, we welcome your issues and pull requests. Please read through this document before submitting any issues or pull requests to ensure we have all the necessary information to effectively respond to your bug report or contribution.

Filing Bug Reports

You can file bug reports against the SDK on the GitHub issues page.

If you are filing a report for a bug or regression in the SDK, it's extremely helpful to provide as much information as possible when opening the original issue. This helps us reproduce and investigate the possible bug without having to wait for this extra information to be provided. Please read the following guidelines prior to filing a bug report.

  1. Search through existing issues to ensure that your specific issue has not yet been reported. If it is a common issue, it is likely there is already a bug report for your problem.

  2. Ensure that you have tested the latest version of the SDK. Although you may have an issue against an older version of the SDK, we cannot provide bug fixes for old versions. It's also possible that the bug may have been fixed in the latest release.

  3. Provide as much information about your environment, SDK version, and relevant dependencies as possible. For example, let us know what version of Node.js you are using, or if it's a browser issue, which browser you are using. If the issue only occurs with a specific dependency loaded, please provide that dependency name and version.

  4. Provide a minimal test case that reproduces your issue or any error information you related to your problem. We can provide feedback much more quickly if we know what operations you are calling in the SDK. If you cannot provide a full test case, provide as much code as you can to help us diagnose the problem. Any relevant information should be provided as well, like whether this is a persistent issue, or if it only occurs some of the time.

Submitting Pull Requests

We are always happy to receive code and documentation contributions to the SDK. Please be aware of the following notes prior to opening a pull request:

  1. The SDK is released under the Apache license. Any code you submit will be released under that license. For substantial contributions, we may ask you to sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA).

  2. If you would like to implement support for a significant feature that is not yet available in the SDK, please talk to us beforehand to avoid any duplication of effort.

  3. Wherever possible, pull requests should contain tests as appropriate. Bugfixes should contain tests that exercise the corrected behavior (i.e., the test should fail without the bugfix and pass with it), and new features should be accompanied by tests exercising the feature. Pull requests that contain failing tests will not be merged until the test failures are addressed. Pull requests that cause a significant drop in the SDK's test coverage percentage are unlikely to be merged until tests have been added.

  4. Commit tile and message and pull request title and description must adhere to conventional commits. Title must begin with feat(module): title, fix(module): title, docs(module): title, test(module): title, chore(module): title. Title should be lowercase and not period at the end of it. If the commit includes a breaking change, the commit message must end with a single paragraph: BREAKING CHANGE: a description of what broke

  5. After getting ready to open a pull request, make sure to run the yarn update-clients to re-generate all the service clients, and commit the change(if any) to a standalone commit following the guide above.

Setup and Testing

This project uses a monorepo to manage all of the packages. This allows us to easily test the effects of changes in one package to others.

Make sure you have yarn installed by:

yarn --version

If not, please refer to yarn installation to install yarn.

To install the dependencies and link the library, run the following command under project root:

yarn

To run all of the tests in the repository, still from the root package, run the following command under project root:

yarn test:all

The above command will use Lerna to run the test script in every package of the monorepo.

Test a changed package

To run the tests for a specific package, you can run yarn test within the specified package folder.

Alternatively, from the project root, you can run:

lerna run test --scope [package name]

If lerna is not available in your environment, you can install it globally with:

npm install -g lerna@3

If you have touched multiple packages and you want to make sure the package you want to test has picked up all your latest changes in dependencies, you can build them in one command:

lerna run build --scope [package name] --include-dependencies

You don't need to run this command if the dependency packages are not changed.

Generating Service Clients

If you made changes to either AWS Smithy TypeScript generator or Smithy TypeScript generator, you should include the generated code change to your PR. Here's how to generate clients:

  1. Clone and checkout smithy-typescript repo

    git clone https://github.com/awslabs/smithy-typescript.git && cd smithy-typescript
git checkout [working_branch]

  2. Build the local branch and publish locally:

    ./gradlew clean build publishToMavenLocal

  3. Generate service clients in JavaScript SDK repo:

    yarn generate-clients

    generate-clients is a util script to facilitate the code generation. For more information, please refer codegen
