# Contributing

First, thanks for wanting to contribute. You’re awesome! :heart:

## Questions

Use [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/) with the tag `chartkick`.

## Feature Requests

Create an issue. Start the title with `[Idea]`.

## Issues

Think you’ve discovered an issue?

1. Search existing issues to see if it’s been reported.
2. Try the `master` branch to make sure it hasn’t been fixed.

```rb
gem "chartkick", github: "ankane/chartkick"
```

If the above steps don’t help, create an issue.

- Include the JavaScript rendered by Chartkick.
- For exceptions, include the complete backtrace.

## Pull Requests

Fork the project and create a pull request. A few tips:

- Keep changes to a minimum. If you have multiple features or fixes, submit multiple pull requests.
- Follow the existing style. The code should read like it’s written by a single person.

Feel free to open an issue to get feedback on your idea before spending too much time on it.

Also, note that we aren’t currently accepting new chart types.
