How to CONTRIBUTE?

[findel]

Could you add a contribution / build document?

I'd like to work on this using VS Code, but I'm having trouble getting it set up correctly to build/compile.

Of course. I'm going to make it more "contributable" this Saturday along with added tests, contribution guide and some refactoring.

Brill. I think I've got it working now.

It was not finding the typings/index.d.ts file.

I needed to npm install typings -g and then run typings install debug --save.

Now it seems to be compiling to JavaScript in dist, but I get errors like these:

src/contacts_service.ts(1,26): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'request'.
src/contacts_service.ts(5,23): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'http'.
src/contacts_service.ts(6,25): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'request'.

Can I fix those?

That's strange. All you need to do is

git clone https://github.com/ShyykoSerhiy/skyweb.git
cd ./skyweb
npm i
npm i -g typings typescript
typings install
tsc 

There should be no errors.

It's typings install debug --save line that's wrong. You need 'typings install'. It restores typings that are provided in typings.json file. typings install debug --save actuall install typings for debug package and adds it to typings.json file. Hope this helps.

Yup, that's good. I've got it building okay now. Thanks.

Reproduces for me:

git clone https://github.com/ShyykoSerhiy/skyweb.git
cd ./skyweb
npm i
npm i -g typings typescript
typings install
tsc 

Results in: error TS6053: File '/skyweb/typings/index.d.ts' not found.

Had to do typings install debug --save first
