When you contribute, please take the following things into account:


## Contributor Code of Conduct

Please note that this project is released with a
[Contributor Code of Conduct](../CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). By participating in this
project, you agree to abide by its terms.


## Reporting an issue

We have provided an issue template that will help you create helpful tickets.


## Do not report an issue if …

* … you are asking how to use some feature. Please use
  [the phpList community](https://www.phplist.org/users/) for this purpose.
* … your issue is about a security vulnerability. Please
  [contact us directly](mailto:info@phplist.com) to report security issues.


## Avoid duplicated issues

Before you report an issue, please search through the existing issues here on
GitHub to see if your issue is already reported or fixed to make sure you are
not reporting a duplicated issue.

Also please make sure you have the latest version of this package and check if
the issue still exists.


# Contribute code, bug fixes or documentation (pull requests)

Third-party contributions are essential for keeping the project great.

We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes that get things
working in your environment.

There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can
have a chance of keeping on top of things:

1. Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/join).
2. [Fork this Git repository](https://guides.github.com/activities/forking/).
3. Clone your forked repository and install the development dependencies doing
   a `composer install`.
4. Add a local remote "upstream" so you will be able to
   [synchronize your fork with the original repository](https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/).
5. Create a local branch for your changes.
6. Add unit tests for your changes (if your changes are code-related).
   These tests should fail without your changes.
7. Add your changes. Your added unit tests now should pass, and no other tests
   should be broken. Check that your changes follow the
   [coding style](#coding-style).
8. Add a changelog entry.
9. [Commit](#git-commits) and push your changes.
10. [Create a pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/)
    for your changes. Check that the Travis build is green. (If it is not, fix the
    problems listed by Travis.)
    We have provided a template for pull requests as well.
11. [Request a review](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-request-reviews/).
11. Together with your reviewer, polish your changes until they are ready to be
    merged.


## Unit-test your changes

Please cover all changes with automatic tests and make sure that your code does
not break any existing tests. We will only merge pull request that include full
code coverage of the fixed bugs and the new features.

### Running the unit tests

To run the existing unit tests, run this command:

```bash
vendor/bin/phpunit tests/Unit/
```

### Running the integration tests

For being able to run the integration tests, you will need a local MySQL
database and a user with access permissions to that database.

After you have created the database and the user, please import the database
schema once. Assuming that your database is named `phplist_test`, the user is
named `phplist`, and the password is `batterystaple`, the command looks like
this:

```bash
mysql -u phplist_test --password=batterystaple phplist_test < resources/Database/Schema.sql
```

For running the integration tests, please first enter the database name
and access credentials in `config/parameters.yml`.

After that has been done, you can run the integration tests:

```bash
vendor/bin/phpunit tests/Integration/
```


## Coding Style

Please make your code clean, well-readable and easy to understand.

Please use the same coding style ([PSR-2](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style-guide.md))
as the rest of the code. Indentation for all files is four spaces.

We will only merge pull requests that follow the project's coding style.

Please check your code with the provided PHP_CodeSniffer standard:

```bash
vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=config/PhpCodeSniffer/ bin/ src/ tests/ public/
```

Please also check the code structure using PHPMD:

```bash
vendor/bin/phpmd src/ text config/PHPMD/rules.xml
```

And also please run the static code analysis:

```bash
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse -l 5 bin/ src/ tests/ public/
```

You can also run all code style checks using one long line from a bash shell:

```bash
find src/ tests/ public/ -name '*.php' -print0 | xargs -0 -n 1 -P 4 php -l && php -l bin/* && vendor/bin/phpstan analyse -l 5 bin/ src/ tests/ public/ && vendor/bin/phpmd src/ text config/PHPMD/rules.xml && vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=config/PhpCodeSniffer/ bin/ src/ tests/ public/
```

This will execute all tests except for the unit tests and the integration
tests.
