HotChocolate has a very active, open, and friendly community. This community lives from awesome people like you! 👈

We have a very active slack channel with nearly 2000 Users!! If you are not yet on slack, you can join here and become a part of it: Join Slack. Don't miss out on the opportunity to meet likeminded and helpful people!

Help us widen the community, tell your co-workers, friends, family, yes even your parents about us to spread the word and build out this exciting community.

If you have a user group and want us to speak there, feel happy to shoot us a message on Twitter. We all love to get in touch with you, and we love public speaking.

Community Support 🧑‍⚕️

We love to see how the HotChocolate community evolves over time. It is so nice to see that people help each other and push this platform further. We invite you to also actively answer questions and help newcomers to get started! Every question answered by a community member is one question less to answer for the team. We appreciate your help ❤️

To actively contribute, we suggest you follow the tag hotchocolate on StackOverflow and the label ❓question on GitHub

On slack, we have a channel called #questions. All questions from StackOverflow and GitHub will be automatically posted there.

Please do not send messages in this channel. This channel is only there for the RSS feeds. If you have answered a question on StackOverflow or GitHub, you can add the reaction ✅ to the RSS feed message. If you want to ask questions on slack, send them to #general

Contributions 💌

If you want to collaborate with us, we are very open, and each community PR makes us happy.
We want to make it easy for you to collaborate with us. Just reach out to us on slack in the channel #contributors, and we can talk about contribution rights to the project

If you find and locate a bug, propose a fix in a Pull Request. We will review it, merge and publish it in a preview release.

In case you want to propose new features, you can open a discussion on GitHub, and we can talk about it. After we planned the feature through, we can set you up, and you can start working.
