If you would like to contribute to this library then please only make contributions for issues that have been approved to be worked on.

If there is a change you would like to make or a new feature that you would like to add and there is no issue for it, then feel free to create an issue yourself.

This is to make sure that people don't waste their time writing code for things which may not get merged.

Please make sure you match the code style of the already existing code to keep consistency.

Just because you create an issue does not mean that a change will be made. All issues will be considered first before being given approval to be worked on.

All contributions will be merged into the dev branch first and then once the library is ready for a new release, the dev branch will be merged into the main branch.

If you are struggling with a contribution, feel free to post something on the discussions tab so that someone can help you out.

If your code involves documentation that is shared across multple places, then you should use ES_API_DOC(<doc-name>) and run generate_docs.py to automatically add in the documenation. This ensures that documentation remains consistent. If there are docs that you want to reuse that aren't already in generate_docs.py then feel free to add them yourself. The code inside there should be self-explanitory.
