Contributing

Pull requests are welcome! Take note of the following guidelines:

  • Edit scripts/data.json to add new entries or update existing ones.
    • Do not edit README.md or other markdown files directly.
  • Ensure that official names are used with correct spelling, capitalization and styling.
    • For example, use "Node.js" instead of "nodejs" or "node.js". Use "npm" instead of "NPM".
  • type field should be a string or an array of strings.
  • Add year_created and year_created_source fields.
    • year_created_source should cite npm package version page, GitHub release page, Wikipedia page with first release date information or other official sources which indicate the year of creation or first release.
    • year_created_source_alt can be added to cite an alternative official source, in case the primary source is no longer available.
    • Add year_deprecated and year_deprecated_source fields when applicable.
  • Add author and author_url fields where applicable.
  • Optionally, run npm run generate to update the README.md and other markdown files automatically.
    • To avoid the need to run npm run generate for each change, setup a git pre-commit hook with script below:
    • node scripts/generate.js && git add *.md
