This python project is responsible for reading in YAML configuration files, converting them to C++ code. This code is then converted to a platformio project and compiled with esphome-core, the C++ framework behind the project.
For a detailed guide, please see https://esphome.io/guides/contributing.html#contributing-to-esphomeyaml
Things to note when contributing:
- Please test your changes :)
- If a new feature is added or an existing user-facing feature is changed, you should also update the docs. See contributing to esphome-docs for more information.
- Please also update the tests in the
tests/folder. You can do so by just adding a line in one of the YAML files which checks if your new feature compiles correctly. - Sometimes I will let pull requests linger because I'm not 100% sure about them. Please feel free to ping me after some time.
