We are happy to accept your contributions to make flair
better and more awesome! To avoid unnecessary work on either
side, please stick to the following process:
- Check if there is already an issue for your concern.
- If there is not, open a new one to start a discussion. We hate to close finished PRs!
- If we decide your concern needs code changes, we would be happy to accept a pull request. Please consider the commit guidelines below.
In case you just want to help out and don't know where to start, issues with "help wanted" label are good for first-time contributors.
If there is already a ticket, use this number at the start of your commit message. Use meaningful commit messages that described what you did.
Example: GH-42: Added new type of embeddings: DocumentEmbedding.
For contributors looking to get deeper into the API we suggest cloning the repository and checking out the unit tests for examples of how to call methods. Nearly all classes and methods are documented, so finding your way around the code should hopefully be easy.
You can either use Pipenv for this:
pipenv install --dev && pipenv shell
or create a python environment of your preference and run
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
To only run typechecks and check the code formatting execute:
pytest flair
To run all basic tests execute:
pytest
To run integration tests execute:
pytest --runintegration
The integration tests will train small models and therefore take more time. In general, it is recommended to ensure all basic tests are running through before testing the integration tests
To ensure a standardized code style we use the formatter black and for standardizing imports we use isort.
If your code is not formatted properly, the tests will fail.
simply execute
You can automatically format the code via black --config pyproject.toml flair/ && isort flair/
in the flair root folder.
If you want to automatically format your code on every commit, you can use pre-commit.
Just install it via pip install pre-commit
and execute pre-commit install
in the root folder.
This will add a hook to the repository, which reformats files on every commit.
