Samples tied to new functionality in Google Chrome.

Each sample corresponds to an entry in https://www.chromestatus.com/features, and using that interface is currently the best way to browse.

Please use SAMPLE_STARTING_POINT as a starting point.

While it's possible to simply create a standard set of HTML/JS/CSS files within the new directory, you can take advantage of the Jekyll-based templating system to handle most of the boilerplate. Any files that start with a front matter block will be templated, and any other files will be served verbatim.

If you're still unsure, two canonical samples that use templates are:

• image-rendering-pixelated
• report-validity

Follow the Using Jekyll with Pages guide to mimic the production Jekyll environment during local development.

Once complete, please file a pull request against the gh-pages branch with your sample. It's ideal when filing a pull request @-mention the relevant engineer who worked on adding the feature into Chrome, to solicit their feedback and ensure that the sample properly describes the functionality. The email address of the engineer who worked on a given feature can be found in the corresponding https://www.chromestatus.com/features entry. If you're unsure of the GitHub username corresponding to the engineer, an alternative is to email them a link to the pull request and ask for feedback directly.

The samples ideally should follow the Google JavaScript Style Guide, though this is not automatically enforced. (See GoogleChrome#141)

It's recommended that all new samples pass the jshint linting process, using the customized .jshintrc settings. To automate linting against JavaScript in the Jekyll-ized HTML output, linter.rb can be used. Regular contributors should set up a git pre-commit hook to run linter.rb against all files that are being committed, via ln -s -f ../../linter.rb .git/hooks/pre-commit

Various IDEs offer real-time JSHint integration (e.g. via SublimeLinter-jshint) and using those integrations that can help avoid errors before anything gets checked in.

Travis CI is currently being used to verify that the Jekyll build completes successfully, but doesn't currently lint/style check the full site. Once the all the older files in the project have been updated to pass linter.rb cleanly, that will be integrated into the Travis CI process.
