Thanks for your interest in the Moxxy XMPP client! This document contains guidelines and guides for working
on the Moxxy codebase.
## Non-Code Contributions
### Translations
You can contribute to Moxxy by translating parts of Moxxy into a language you can speak. To do that, head over to [Codeberg's Weblate instance](https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/moxxy/moxxy/), where you can start translating.
## Prerequisites
Before building or working on Moxxy, please make sure that your development environment is correctly set up.

If you think that your code is ready for a pull request, but you are not sure if it is ready, prefix the PR's title with "WIP: ", so that discussion
can happen there. If you think your PR is ready for review, remove the "WIP: " prefix.
### Tips
#### `data_classes.yaml`
When you add, remove, or modify data classes in `data_classes.yaml`, you need to rebuild the classes using `flutter pub run build_runner build`. However, there appears
to be a bug in my own build runner script, which prevents the data classes from being
rebuilt if they are changed. To fix this, remove the generated data classes by running
`rm lib/shared/*.moxxy.dart`, after which build_runner will rebuild the data classes.
### Code Guidelines
#### Translations
If your code adds new strings that should be translated, only add them to the base
language, which is English. Even if you know more than English, do not add the keys
to other language files. To prevent merge conflicts between Weblate and the repository,
all other languages are managed via [Codeberg's Weblate instance](https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/moxxy/moxxy/).
#### Commit messages
Commit messages should be uniformly formatted. `gitlint` is a linter for commit messages that enforces those guidelines. They are defined in the `.gitlint` file
