If you’d like to contribute a feature or bug fix, you can fork lodash, commit your changes, & send a pull request.
Please make sure to search the issue tracker first; your issue may have already been discussed or fixed in master
.
Include updated unit tests in the test
directory as part of your pull request.
Don’t worry about regenerating the documentation, lodash.js, or lodash.min.js.
You can run the tests from the command line via node test/test
, or open test/index.html
in a web browser.
The test/run-test.sh
script attempts to run the tests in Rhino, RingoJS, PhantomJS, & Node, before running them in your default browser.
The Backbone & Underscore test suites are included as well.
