# Contributing
Contributions are welcome and encouraged.
To contribute fork this repository, make your changes, and open a pull request.
## Setup
Install [prek](https://prek.j178.dev/) then activate pre-commit hooks:
```bash
prek install
```
### Nix Development Shell
If you have Nix installed with flakes enabled, you can use the provided development shell which includes all necessary dependencies:
```bash
nix develop
```
This will provide:
- Go 1.25+ toolchain (go, gopls, delve, go-tools) and GNU Make
- Quickshell and required QML packages
- Properly configured QML2_IMPORT_PATH
The dev shell automatically creates the `.qmlls.ini` file in the `quickshell/` directory.
## VSCode Setup
This is a monorepo, the easiest thing to do is to open an editor in either `quickshell`, `core`, or both depending on which part of the project you are working on.
### QML (`quickshell` directory)
1. Install the [QML Extension](https://doc.qt.io/vscodeext/)
2. Configure `ctrl+shift+p` -> user preferences (json) with qmlls path
**Note:** Paths may vary by distribution. Below are examples for Arch Linux and Fedora.
**Arch Linux:**
```json
{
"[qml]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "qt-project.qmlls",
"editor.formatOnSave": true
},
"qt-qml.doNotAskForQmllsDownload": true,
"qt-qml.qmlls.customExePath": "/usr/lib/qt6/bin/qmlls",
"qt-core.additionalQtPaths": [
{
"name": "Qt-6.x-linux-g++",
"path": "/usr/bin/qmake"
}
]
}
```
**Fedora:**
```json
{
"[qml]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "qt-project.qmlls",
"editor.formatOnSave": true
},
"qt-qml.doNotAskForQmllsDownload": true,
"qt-qml.qmlls.customExePath": "/usr/bin/qmlls",
"qt-core.additionalQtPaths": [
{
"name": "Qt-6.x-Fedora-linux-g++",
"path": "/usr/bin/qmake6"
}
]
}
```
3. Create empty `.qmlls.ini` file in `quickshell/` directory
```bash
cd quickshell
touch .qmlls.ini
```
4. Restart dms to generate the `.qmlls.ini` file
5. Run `make lint-qml` from the repo root to lint QML entrypoints (requires the `.qmlls.ini` generated above). The script needs the **Qt 6** `qmllint`; it checks `qmllint6`, Fedora's `qmllint-qt6`, `/usr/lib/qt6/bin/qmllint`, then `qmllint` in `PATH`. If your Qt 6 binary lives elsewhere, set `QMLLINT=/path/to/qmllint`.
6. Make your changes, test, and open a pull request.
### I18n/Localization
When adding user-facing strings, ensure they are wrapped in `I18n.tr()` with context, for example.
```qml
import qs.Common
Text {
text: I18n.tr("Hello World", "<This is context for the translators, example> Hello world greeting that appears on the lock screen")
}
```
Preferably, try to keep new terms to a minimum and re-use existing terms where possible. See `quickshell/translations/en.json` for the list of existing terms. (This isn't always possible obviously, but instead of using `Auto-connect` you would use `Autoconnect` since it's already translated)
### GO (`core` directory)
1. Install the [Go Extension](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/go)
2. Ensure code is formatted with `make fmt`
3. Add appropriate test coverage and ensure tests pass with `make test`
4. Run `go mod tidy`
5. Open pull request
