## NAME
    [Type::Tiny::Manual::Contributing](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Type%3A%3ATiny%3A%3AManual%3A%3AContributing/markdown) - contributing to [Type::Tiny](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Type%3A%3ATiny/markdown) development.

## MANUAL
### Reporting bugs
    Bug reports (including wishlist items) can be submitted to GitHub.

    <<https://github.com/tobyink/p5-type-tiny/issues>>.

    Test cases written using [Test::More](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Test%3A%3AMore/markdown) are always appreciated.

### Fixing bugs
    If something doesn't work as documented, or causes unexpected crashes, and you know how to fix
    it, then either attach a patch to the bug report (see above) or as a pull request to the project
    on GitHub.

    <<https://github.com/tobyink/p5-type-tiny>>.

    Please try to follow the coding style used in the rest of the project. (Tab indents, spaces for
    alignment, British English spellings, pod at the end of code but the start of test cases, etc.)

    <<https://github.com/tobyink/misc-development-tools/blob/master/bin/my-perltidy>>

### Adding Test Cases
    New test cases for the [Type::Tiny](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Type%3A%3ATiny/markdown) test suite are always welcome. The coveralls page for
    [Type::Tiny](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Type%3A%3ATiny/markdown) should reveal what parts of the code are most needing good test cases. Any files with
    below 95% coverage are highest priority.

    <<https://coveralls.io/github/tobyink/p5-type-tiny>>.

    [Type::Tiny](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Type%3A%3ATiny/markdown) is now also on Codecov which does coverage accounting slightly differently, giving
    some stricter targets to aim for.

### [Type::Tiny::XS](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Type%3A%3ATiny%3A%3AXS/markdown)
    I'm not really a C programmer, nor am I that familiar with Perl's internals, so help with
    [Type::Tiny::XS](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Type%3A%3ATiny%3A%3AXS/markdown) is always appreciated. There are some type constraints in [Types::Standard](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Types%3A%3AStandard/markdown),
    [Types::Common::String](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Types%3A%3ACommon%3A%3AString/markdown), and [Types::Common::Numeric](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Types%3A%3ACommon%3A%3ANumeric/markdown) which don't have XS implementations.

### Writing Type Libraries
    Though I'm unlikely to bundle many more type libraries in this distribution, uploading your own
    type libraries to CPAN will strengthen the [Type::Tiny](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Type%3A%3ATiny/markdown) ecosystem.

### Donate
    If you or your organization uses [Type::Tiny](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Type%3A%3ATiny/markdown) and you wish to contribute financially, you should
    be able to find links to donate on the [Type::Tiny](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Type%3A%3ATiny/markdown) website at <<https://typetiny.toby.ink/>>.

    Please note that I am not suggesting that you must do this in order for me to continue working
    on [Type::Tiny](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Type%3A%3ATiny/markdown) and related modules.

## NEXT STEPS
    You've reached the end of the manual!

    But each class, type library, and other package includes more detailed documentation.
