Making code changes

First, please check for issues marked as help wanted.

Local development

In order to make contributions to the API or websocket clients you will need access to a Mattermost server to test against.

The best way to bootstrap a local development environment is by using Dist::Zilla. See the README for information on installing the library's dependencies.

Testing

The library's test suite is found in the t directory. It uses Test::Spec for BDD/rspec style tests.

Ideally, new features or bugfixes should be confirmed with matching tests.
