# Contributing A guide on how to get started contributing code to the Elementor plugin. Before diving into this repository, make sure you have a basic understanding of Elementor and its architecture. ## Architecture If you are interested in learning more about the architecture of Elementor, please refer to the documentation in the `docs/` directory. ## Repository structure The repository is structured as follows: ``` @/elementor βββ app/ β βββ admin-menu-items/ β βββ assets/ β β βββ js/ β β βββ styles/ β βββ modules/ β β βββ import-export/ β β βββ kit-library/ β β βββ onboarding/ β β βββ site-editor/ β βββ app.php β βββ view.php βββ core/ β βββ admin/ β βββ base/ β βββ editor/ β βββ frontend/ β βββ settings/ β βββ utils/ β βββ ... βββ includes/ β βββ controls/ β βββ widgets/ β βββ managers/ β βββ ... βββ modules/ (Feature modules) β βββ ai/ β βββ atomic-widgets/ β βββ floating-buttons/ β βββ global-classes/ β βββ nested-elements/ β βββ ... βββ assets/ (Static assets) β βββ css/ β βββ js/ β βββ images/ β βββ lib/ βββ packages/ (V4 packages) β βββ packages/ β βββ tests/ β βββ package.json βββ tests/ (Test suites) β βββ playwright/ β βββ phpunit/ β βββ jest/ β βββ qunit/ βββ docs/ (Documentation) βββ elementor.php (Main plugin file) βββ package.json βββ composer.json ``` ## Development Setup To get started with development: 1. Clone the repository 2. Install dependencies: ```bash npm run instal ``` 3. Start development: ```bash npm run watch ``` This will start the development environment with file watching enabled. ## Test, Lint & Build ### Testing To run PHP tests: ```bash npm run test:php ``` To run JavaScript tests: ```bash npm run test:jest ``` To run Playwright end-to-end tests: ```bash npm run start-local-server npm run test:playwright or npm run test:playwright:* ``` ### Linting You can run the linter by executing: ```bash npm run lint ``` This command uses ESLint for JavaScript/TypeScript files and includes package linting. ### Building To build the project for production: ```bash npm run build ``` For development builds: ```bash npm run start ``` To build packages: ```bash npm run build:packages ``` ## Development Commands - `npm run start` - Full build and setup (dev mode) - `npm run watch` - Start development with file watching - `npm run scripts` - Build JavaScript assets - `npm run scripts:watch` - Watch JavaScript files - `npm run styles` - Build CSS assets - `npm run styles:watch` - Watch CSS files - `npm run build:packages` - Build frontend packages - `npm run build:tools` - Build development tools ## Testing Environment Setup To set up the testing environment: ```bash npm run setup:testing ``` To restart the testing environment: ```bash npm run restart:testing ``` ## Commit message conventions This repository uses [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/), so please make sure to follow this convention to keep consistency in the repository. ## Pull requests Maintainers merge pull requests by squashing all commits and editing the commit message if necessary using the GitHub user interface. Ensure you choose an appropriate commit message, and exercise caution when dealing with changes that may disrupt existing functionality. Additionally, remember to include tests for your modifications to ensure comprehensive coverage and maintain code quality. ## Working with Packages The `packages/` directory contains frontend packages that can be developed separately: 1. Navigate to the packages directory: ```bash cd packages ``` 2. Install dependencies: ```bash npm ci ``` 3. Start development: ```bash npm run dev ``` When working on the main plugin with packages, use: ```bash npm run watch ``` This will automatically handle package building and watching. ## Code Quality - Follow WordPress coding standards - Use meaningful commit messages - Write tests for new features - Update documentation when needed - Ensure backward compatibility when possible ## Getting Help - Check the `docs/` directory for detailed documentation - Review existing code for patterns and conventions - Ask questions in pull requests for clarification
