CONTRIBUTING.md

We use swaggerhub to host the API spec.

Overview

• The api spec is written in a .yaml file
• When releasing a new FDI version, add the spec to swaggerhub from this repo

Branching

• Each version has its own branch
• When making changes, create a sub-branch of the appropriate version. For example if the changes are meant to reflect in version 1.8.2 you would create a branch from 1.8 (Your final Pull Request should also target 1.8 as the base branch)
• Changes are not made to the master branch directly
• The master branch will be synchronised with the latest spec when a new version is release

Making changes

When making changes to the api_spec.yaml file

• 1. Go to the swagger editor
• 2. Copy / paste the contents of the .yaml file into the editor, and then you should see the API docs on the right of the screen.
• 3. Make changes to the online editor and then copy / paste the content back into the .yaml file
• 4. Issue a PR to the appropriate branch (refer to the branching section above)
