Good First Issue Board https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/projects/18

What should I know before starting?

All here we are developers, with different backgrounds, languages, and objectives. But, we must follow certain rules so we can understand each other and make communication easier as possible. Please 👍 read your code of conduct, long story short, just be nice with everybody around here.

• Code guidelines: we enforce them using eslint, so you don't have to read a long list of rules, we love automation 🤖 .
• Commit guidelines: We follow the semantic versioning approach, this is really important so your PR will appear on the Changelog 🎉 ! I guess you expect recognition and we will give it to you.

That's all you need to know before starting.

What can I do?

I'd assume you are completely lost 😩, that's fine! I was it when I get started on this. Let me help you.

If you are interested in Typescript in general, here some ideas you might help

• Get rid of @ts-ignore.
• Enable noImplicitAny progressively by package, it is disabled globally 😢
  • Upgraded few packages already, more pending
• Remove any and add proper types.
• Fix eslint warnings for @typescript-eslint/xxx.
• Improve our @types https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/tree/5.x/packages/core/types (better naming, document each type, remove duplications)

If you are interested mostly in Front-End, we use [email protected]

• Upgrade to React 18
• Upgrade testing library
• Remove warnings on run test cd packages/plugins/ui-theme && pnpm test

• Upgrade material-ui@5 feat: migrate to Material-UI 5 #2612
  After migration there are few areas that also require some work, like the following:

  • Use autocomplete on language switch and get rid of packages/plugins/ui-theme/src/components/AutoComplete/AutoCompleteV2.tsx
  • After this migration we could improve the UI, add new features.
  • Get rid of MUI: adaptV4Theme() is deprecated. warning
  • Fix tons or warnings due migration (running tests, and possibly also in dev mode)

• Migrate components to React Hooks https://github.com/verdaccio/ui/issues/116

• Increase component coverage (react-testing-library)

• Move UI translations to crowdin

• Add i18n to the UI https://github.com/verdaccio/ui/issues/102

If you like Docker:

• Add new examples, integrations with Apache, Nginx, or whatever is missing and help others to do it themselves. https://github.com/verdaccio/docker-examples

If you like Website:

In general, you might help with other things as:

• Add new plugins for the community here ⚠️ we will add some guidelines on how to do it.
• Fix // eslint-disable-next-line new-cap eslint inline comments
