New Feature Request NFR

Serghei Iakovlev edited this page Jul 18, 2016 · 11 revisions

A NFR is a short document explaining how a new feature request must work, how it can be implemented, how it can help, allowing the core developers to understand and facilitate its implementation. A NFR contains:

  • Suggested syntax
  • Suggested class names and methods
  • A short documentation
  • If the feature is already implemented in other frameworks, a short explanation of how that was implemented and its advantages

In the following cases a new feature request will be rejected:

  • The feature makes the framework slow
  • The feature doesn't provide any value to the framework
  • The NFR is not clear, bad documented, bad explained, etc.
  • The NFR doesn't follow the current guidelines/philosophy of the framework
  • The NFR affects/breaks applications developed in current/older versions of the framework
  • The OP doesn't provide feedback/input when requested
  • It's technically impossible to implement
  • It's a functionality that only will be used on development/testing stages
  • Submitted/proposed classes/components don't follow the Single Responsibility Principle
  • Static methods aren't allowed

To send a NFR you don't need to provide Zephir or C code or develop the feature, the NFR is just about explain the goal of the NFR.

All NFRs should be posted as a new issue on Github.
