Contributing

GoogleMaps.jl is an Open Source project and there are different ways to contribute.

Please, use GitHub issues to report errors/bugs or to ask for new features.

Contributions are welcome in the form of pull requests. Please follow these guidelines:

• Follow the Google Maps/Places API documentation (e.g. preserves the response contents).
• Write code against the master branch but pull request against the dev branch.
• By making a pull request, you're agreeing to license your code under a MIT license.
• Types and functions should be documented using Julia's docstrings.
• All significant code should be tested.

Style

• Type names are camel case, with the first letter capitalized.
• Function names, apart from constructors, are all lowercase. Include underscores between words only if the name would be hard to read without.
• Names of private (unexported) functions begin with underscore.
• Separate logical blocks of code with blank lines.
• Generally try to keep lines below 92-columns, unless splitting a long line onto multiple lines makes it harder to read.
• Use 4 spaces for indentation.
• Remove trailing whitespace.

Conduct

Contributors should adhere to the Julia community standards.
