Contributing

Inside of VotD's source is a module with classes and files referring to various Bible web services. By contributing to VotD with plugins you can help keep the gem fresh with new versions.

The most basic way to get the code is to simply fork the code base on GitHub. This will hand over a copy of the code to you so that you can really do whatever you want.

To create a plugin, you must find an API and wrap it in a module located in lib/votd.

• Your class must inherit from {Votd::Base} and needs to override the {Votd::Base#get_votd} method.

• Your class must supply the BIBLE_VERSION constant, or set @version inside the class somewhere.

• Your initializer must consist of at least the following:

  ```ruby
  # Initializes the MyBible class
  def initialize
  	super
  end
  ```
  

Creating a new file in spec to test your plugin before your pull request. VotD uses the testing framework Rspec to manage testing, so use the Rspec syntax enhancements rather than another framework.

Once your tests are done, work on the parsing system with your code, and you're ready to go!

Just pop us a Pull Request and you're code will be overviewed and ready to go soon.

Summary

2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Write passing tests/specs (we use RSpec)
4. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Added some feature')
5. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
6. Create new Pull Request
