# Contributing to `nvim-web-devicons`

Thank you for your contribution!

## Name

Please name your commits and the PR simply e.g.

    add .tex
    update makefile icon
    update .kt colors

## Prerequisites

Add [vim-colortemplate](https://github.com/lifepillar/vim-colortemplate) to &runtimepath. The easiest way to do this is via your package manager.

Code is formatted using stylua and linted using luacheck.

You can install these with:
```sh
cargo install stylua
luarocks install luacheck
```

or via your OS package manager e.g. Arch linux:
```sh
pacman -S stylua
pacman -S luacheck
```

## Building

Following your changes, please run:

```sh
make
```

This will:
1. Generate cterm colors
2. Generate light color variants
3. Check style
4. Lint

You can automatically fix any style issues via:
```sh
make style-fix
```

## Generate Colors

Add or update icons in `scripts/nvim-web-devicons.lua`.

There are two tables where icons can be added:
1. icons_by_filename
2. icons_by_file_extension

Add the icon in table 1. if the icon is for a file that is always named that
way, for example `.gitconfig`. Add to table 2. if the icon is for all files
with an extension.

Each icon must have the following (this is an example):
```lua
[".gitconfig"] = {
    icon = "",
    color = "#41535b",
    cterm_color = "0",
    name = "GitConfig",
},
```
___Key/value pairs must appear in the same exact order!___

- `color` must contain a color in the html notation
- `cterm_color` must be below `color`, and it must contain a number (any number)
- the correct value for `cterm_color` will be generated by the script

Ensure your current working directory is the repo root.
Run `make`. This will:
- Update `cterm_color` based on `color`
- Generate `nvim-web-devicons-light.lua`

Please commit both `nvim-web-devicons.lua` and `nvim-web-devicons-light.lua`
