This project welcomes contributions from the community. Contributions are accepted using GitHub pull requests; for more information, see GitHub documentation - Creating a pull request.

For a good pull request, we ask you provide the following:

1. Include a clear description of your pull request in the description with the basic "what" and "why"s for the request.
2. The tests should pass as best as you can. GitHub will automatically run the tests as well, to act as a safety net.
3. The pull request should include tests for the change. A new feature should have tests for the new feature and bug fixes should include a test that fails without the corresponding code change and passes after they are applied. The command npm run test-cov will generate a coverage/ folder that contains HTML pages of the code coverage, to better understand if everything you're adding is being tested.
4. If the pull request is a new feature, please include appropriate documentation in the README.md file as well.
5. To help ensure that your code is similar in style to the existing code, run the command npm run lint and fix any displayed issues.

Names of module "owners" (lead developers) and other developers who have contributed.
