Contributing

I've just started out with this library and plan to incrementally add tests and other functionality which the community will ask for. I'll be spending the next few weeks solely to this project to achieve that. Hard Core mode on 🔥

Tests would be based on Jest and can be run with npm run test

To build the library run npm run build

Further

I'll be dedicating a website with an indepth docs and code sandboxes to use this library. In the meantine, feel free to raise bugs or request for feature/enhancements. Please follow proper guidelines to do so. Cheers 😁
