Thank you for considering contributing to the Voten. To encourage active collaboration, Voten strongly encourages pull requests, not just bug reports.

Voten follows the PSR-2 coding standard and the PSR-4 autoloading standard. Voten also uses StyleCI for automatically merging any style fixes. So you don't have to worry about your code style much.

Voten is a Laravel application that runs on the following software:

• Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
• Nginx 1.10+
• MySQL (to use mariaDB, you must modify json type migration columns to blob)
• PHP 7.1+
• Redis 3.0+
• Git 2.8.4+
• Pusher

To install all the required stack on a server, we recommend an auto-installation service such as Codepier.

After cloning the repository, first create a .env from the example file:

cp .env.example .env

Open ".env" file with your desired editor and enter your services info. Now run below commands:

composer install
php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate
php artisan passport:install
npm install
npm run production

If you discover any security vulnerability within Voten's source code, please send an e-mail to Sully Fischer at [email protected] instead of opening an issue. All security vulnerabilities will be promptly addressed.

A public API is the next step of Voten's development. In the meanwhile, if you're interested in developing applications on top of our API please contact us at [email protected].
