October is here and with it comes Hacktoberfest the biggest annual open source contribution event.
How can you participate through MeteorJS?
Contribute with pull requests to our repositories.
Recommend you looking the issues with the labels: good first issues, idle, confirmed and hackertoberfest label, this last label will be created as a curated list for hackertoberfest
Help review or improve documentation.
We are needing a lot a hand in documentation, take a look in this issue/PRs as reference for documentation.
here@victor shere a list of guides we are needing to migrate/todo for meteor 3
Since Hacktoberfest requires high-quality pull/merge requests, I recommend linking the discussions about the necessity of the documentation, just to demonstrate you’re solving a real issue. Please try to avoid small documentation fixes; probably, Hacktoberfest will disregard them.
Every type of contribution counts! If you’ve never contributed before, this is a great opportunity to start in a friendly and collaborative environment.
I got the Blaze tutorial for Meteor 3 ready to go.
It’s like these two:
But there is no repo for it so I cannot do a pull request right? So here it is:
Can you clone it over the Meteor Software’s place?
Meteor still has much written in Blaze so it’s good to have an up to date tutorial that is fiberless and Meteor 3 compatible. Also, for those who aren’t opinionated on a particular UI framework, Blaze still offers a simple and straightforward solution.
I also have done documentation that I should be able to do a PR for. I’ll reach out to you direct in Email about it.
Also here’s a link to the project repo. I’ve already started transfer to @italojs
So this wraps up all the possible tutorials for the baked-in JS frontends that Meteor v3 supports out of the box. It doesn’t support Angular, apparently something about its strict adherence to modern ESM (Ecmascript Modules). I don’t know what the future or status is of that with Meteor but for now it seems incompatible… and there is no skeleton project for Angular anymore.
I’m considering one more tutorial. This time starting with a minimal project not based on a skeleton… and then showing how to wire up your UI framework of choice. I’m considering doing Mithril JS for that. Sound interesting?
