Contributing To Fuel TypeScript SDK

Thanks for your interest in contributing to the Fuel TypeScript SDK!

This document outlines the process for installing dependencies, setting up for development and conventions for contributing.

Finding Something to Work On

There are many ways in which you may contribute to the project, some of which involve coding knowledge and some which do not. A few examples include:

  • Reporting bugs
  • Adding new features or bugfixes for which there is already an open issue
  • Making feature requests

Check out our Help Wanted or Good First Issues to find a suitable task.

If you are planning something big, for example, changes related to multiple components or changes to current behaviors, make sure to open an issue to discuss with us before starting on the implementation.

Setting up

git clone git@github.com:FuelLabs/fuels-ts.git
cd fuels-ts
pnpm install
pnpm build

Developing

For building everything in watch-mode, run:

# build all projects in watch-mode
pnpm dev

File watching is done by nodemon for increased performance.

Check nodemon.config.json for all settings.

Note: You can pnpm dev a single package:

cd packages/abi-coder
pnpm dev

Using local sym-linked packages

First, we need to link our fuels package globally in our local global pnpm store:

cd fuels-ts/packages/fuels
pnpm link --global

Let's check it out:

pnpm list --global

Cool, now on the root directory of my-local-project:

cd my-local-project
pnpm link --global fuels

That's it — my-local-project is now using our local version of fuels.

The same can be done with all other packages:

cd fuels-ts/packages/wallet
pnpm link --global

# ...

pnpm list --global # validating

# ...

cd my-local-project
pnpm link --global @fuel-ts/wallet

Warning When using local symlinked fuels-ts in your-local-project, remember to pnpm build the SDK whenever you change a source file to reflect the changes on your-local-project. To automate this, you can use pnpm dev, which will keep watching and compiling everything automatically while developing.

Testing

In order to run tests locally, you need fuel-core running locally.

To do that run this command in your terminal:

pnpm node:run

And then run the tests in another terminal tab:

# run all tests
pnpm test

# run tests while passing other flags to sub-program
pnpm test -- --coverage --my-other-flag

# run tests for a specific package
pnpm test packages/my-desired-package

# run tests for a specific file
pnpm test packages/my-desired-package/src/my.test.ts

Or if you want to start a local Fuel-Core node and run all tests serially you can do:

pnpm ci:test

This will run node:run, test and then node:clean

The tests may break if you are running your tests locally using node:run in a separate terminal. To reset your local fuel-core node data and start from scratch, run node:clean

Commit Convention

Before you create a Pull Request, please check whether your commits comply with the commit conventions used in this repository.

When you create a commit we kindly ask you to follow the convention category(scope or module): message in your commit message while using one of the following categories:

  • feat / feature: all changes that introduce completely new code or new features
  • fix: changes that fix a bug (ideally you will additionally reference an issue if present)
  • refactor: any code related change that is not a fix nor a feature
  • docs: changing existing or creating new documentation (i.e. README, docs for usage of a lib or cli usage)
  • build: all changes regarding the build of the software, changes to dependencies or the addition of new dependencies
  • test: all changes regarding tests (adding new tests or changing existing ones)
  • ci: all changes regarding the configuration of continuous integration (i.e. github actions, ci system)
  • chore: all changes to the repository that do not fit into any of the above categories

Steps to PR

  1. Fork the fuels-ts repository and clone your fork

  2. Create a new branch out of the master branch.

  3. Make and commit your changes following the commit convention. As you develop, you can run pnpm build and pnpm test to make sure everything works as expected.

  4. Run pnpm changeset to create a detailed description of your changes. This will be used to generate a changelog when we publish an update. Learn more about Changeset. Please note that you might have to run git fetch origin master (where origin will be your fork on GitHub) before pnpm changeset works.

If you made minor changes like CI config, prettier, etc, you can run pnpm changeset add --empty to generate an empty changeset file to document your changes.

Git Hooks

The SDK utilizes a pre-push git hook to validate your contribution before review. This is a script that will run automatically before changes are pushed to the remote repository. Within the SDK, the pre-push script will run code linting.

This can be overridden using the --no-verify flag when pushing.

Updating Forc version

The following script will upgrade Forc to the latest version on GitHub, remove all lockfiles so the latest stdlib can be used, and rebuild all projects:

pnpm forc:update

After this you should run tests and fix any incompatibilities.

Updating Fuel Core version

Manually edit the packages/fuel-core/VERSION file, add the right version, and then:

pnpm install # will download new binaries
pnpm test:ci

If all tests pass, that's it.

Otherwise, you have work to do.

FAQ

Why is the prefix fuels and not fuel?

In order to make the SDK for Fuel feel familiar with those coming from the ethers.js ecosystem, this project opted for an s at the end.

The fuels-* family of SDKs is inspired by The Ethers Project.
