Looking for collaborators

[kulshekhar]

I'm looking for collaborators to help take ts-jest forward. If you want to become a collaborator, please leave a comment below.

Collaborator responsibilities include:

• Improving documentation
• Responding to issues
• Reviewing and merging pull requests
• Development contributions: improving code quality, adding features, fixing bugs
• Establish and manage a release process

You can be as much or as little involved as you want.

[GeeWee]

I might be interested in lending a hand - you're doing good work here :)

[bcruddy]

I'd like to contribute 1-2 hours a week, more when I can. I won't be able to actively contribute until 6/2 though.

[marcusjwhelan]

Doing great work here. I hope you get dozens of collaborators. This package makes testing TypeScript with Jest almost painless.

[kulshekhar]

This package makes testing TypeScript with Jest almost painless.

that's why I'm looking for help here - to remove the 'almost' 😄

[morajabi]

Maybe I can put some hours a week into this?

[kulshekhar]

@morajabi that's great!

Do you want to take a stab at one of the open issues?

[GeeWee]

I would love someone to give a hand with #217

[morajabi]

Let me take a look. @GeeWee

[morajabi]

One thing, can someone explain to me what are we doing here to make TS+Jest work? Or what are problems with TS and Jest?

In fact, I wasn't into testing things until a few months ago and this would help me a lot to contribute more. Thanks!

@morajabi

can someone explain to me what are we doing here to make TS+Jest work?

I initially created ts-jest for one reason - sourcemaps. When I created and used a custom transformer based on Jest's example, I realized that it didn't display the correct line numbers. So, in a nutshell, that was why ts-jest was created.

does that answer your question?

[morajabi]

@kulshekhar That made the main reason clear, Thanks!

Can you explain how you solved the problem here? What's the process here and what tool are we using to achieve that?

[kulshekhar]

We inject a small piece of code at the top of every file that we process.

This code makes use of source-map-support to add mapping information to all the files that are being processed.

[morajabi]

Aha, and when do we transpile .ts code to JS?

[kulshekhar]

Whenever Jest invokes the process function that ts-jest exports

[morajabi]

Great! Thank you @kulshekhar, Now that I know these I can read the source and find out everything.
Can you suggest me some reading about how Jest and processors work? or anything related that'd help me (or any new comers)?

[abmohan]

@kulshekhar, if you still needs folks let me know! I can do a few hours a week.

[kulshekhar]

@abmohan welcome aboard!

[CarloPalinckx]

@kulshekhar still recruiting? Wouldn't mind lending a hand. Seeing alot of any's throughout the codebase. Would replacing those with generics for type inference be a good place to start?

[kulshekhar]

@CarloPalinckx any help is always welcome. Replacing anys with sensible types is as good a place to start as any :)

[GeeWee]

Would love some PRs that fixed types!

[abmohan]

@kulshekhar - just saw your notification, thank you.

Assuming PRs that replaced anys with types are still the best place to start?

[kulshekhar]

@abmohan yeah, that would be a good place to start. If there are any open issues that you'd like to tackle that could be good as well. Basically, anything that improves the package is very welcome :)

[severen]

I would like to help as well. Namely I would like to see through an upgrade to Babel 7.

[kulshekhar]

@severen any help is welcome :)

[chinesedfan]

@kulshekhar Glad to be one.

[GeeWee]

I'm going to be a bit out of the loop for the next few weeks. Just had to put my dog down - so if anyone sees anything that's waiting on me that they want to jump on - go ahead.

[dasmedium]

Im keen to contribute in any way I could. A few hours a week.

[kulshekhar]

@dasmedium any help is very welcome!

[sapkmm]

I would like to help as well, maybe few hours a week.

[Fazendaaa]

are there any list of minimum [tech] knowledge requirements to help with the project?

[GeeWee]

Not at all - if you think the source code is fairly understandable you should be good to go! I ended up learning a lot about both typescript, babel and a variety of other topics working on this :)

[Fazendaaa]

@GeeWee that being the case, I'm interested in contributing to it :)

[GeeWee]

Welcome aboard! Feel free to grab an issue you can contribute to, Up to date docs is probably what we're lacking the most at the moment! There's a slack channel as well, i think @huafu can tell you more.

[huafu]

Welcome @Fazendaaa!
Yup, the slack channel is very new and free from anybody but contributors for now (until we'll advertise about it), but you can join, I am there and I'll be happy to explain you whatever I do can explain.

[huafu]

Closing this as discussed in slack from this message

[devlato]

I'm a passionate user of ts-jest and am highly interested in helping build it! Count me in

[mcapparelli]

I'm open to help!

[akshaydk]

Let me know how can I help the project.
