# Contributing to LanceDB Typescript
This document outlines the process for contributing to LanceDB Typescript.
For general contribution guidelines, see [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md).
## Project layout
The Typescript package is a wrapper around the Rust library, `lancedb`. We use
the [napi-rs](https://napi.rs/) library to create the bindings between Rust and
Typescript.
* `src/`: Rust bindings source code
* `lancedb/`: Typescript package source code
* `__test__/`: Unit tests
* `examples/`: An npm package with the examples shown in the documentation
## Development environment
To set up your development environment, you will need to install the following:
1. Node.js 14 or later
2. Rust's package manager, Cargo. Use [rustup](https://rustup.rs/) to install.
3. [protoc](https://grpc.io/docs/protoc-installation/) (Protocol Buffers compiler)
Initial setup:
```shell
npm install
```
### Commit Hooks
It is **highly recommended** to install the [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) hooks to ensure that your
code is formatted correctly and passes basic checks before committing:
```shell
pre-commit install
```
## Development
Most common development commands can be run using the npm scripts.
Build the package
```shell
npm install
npm run build
```
Lint:
```shell
npm run lint
```
Format and fix lints:
```shell
npm run lint-fix
```
Run tests:
```shell
npm test
```
To run a single test:
```shell
# Single file: table.test.ts
npm test -- table.test.ts
# Single test: 'merge insert' in table.test.ts
npm test -- table.test.ts --testNamePattern=merge\ insert
```
