Guidelines for contribution

These set of rules are to be taken into consideration while doing this project.

I cannot explain why this is useful but when you will continue, you will know your self.

Project Guidelines

1. Class name should be into PascalCase.
2. Variable and Function name should be in camelCase.
3. Before commiting any changes, make sure to format the code with Prettier.
4. The variable name should be chosen such that there won't be confusion on it name and for what it is created.
5. The files and directories name should be in lowercase, space shouldn't be used(use underscore(_))

Git and Github Guidelines

Git

1. commit every small detail or change possible.

2. The commit can be divided into two section

   • Title
   • Description

   If you have change alot so that only Title is not able to describe it you can write detail description part

3. Make sure that after reading the commit, reader can get brief info about your changes.

Github

1. It is highly encourage not to upload your file directly using Github instead use Git

2. You can use discussion section

   • If you have any doubt
   • You want to implement something but you didnot find how to implement that

   This will be helpful if you are working in Open Source Project So, why not to pratice via this project

3. If you find anything that is usual while running project, you can create issue and try avoiding to say it using DM
