Development

Intro

• Blog: We use Jekyll for blog posts.
• API docs: We use raml2html npm package to compile RAML files into HTML files for API docs.
• Docs: We use Docusaurus for new documentation.

Install dependencies

Install node packages like raml2html which is needed to compile API docs.

npm install

Install Ruby gems (needed for Jekyll).

bundle config build.eventmachine --with-cppflags=-I$(brew --prefix openssl@1.1)/include
bundle install

We are moving incrementally from Jekyll to Docusaurus. Please install Docusaurus dependencies.

cd docusaurus
npm install

How to build everything (Jekyll, Docusaurus, API docs)

bundle exec jekyll serve --watch --future

It shows a blog post with a future publish date. Now you can preview the blog at http://localhost:4000/.

How to build Docusaurus only

cd docusaurus
npm start

How to build API docs only

Raml files for API docs are in the _api directory. You can edit them.

We use raml2html to compile them. If you need to compile API docs manually, you can run the rake task:

bundle exec rake api:generate_docs

Compiled files are in the api directory.

Deployment

Push to main to have a GitHub Action:

• build Jekyll, Docusaurus (_plugins/docusaurus.rb) and API docs (_plugins/raml2html.rb)
• publish the built files to the gh-pages branch
• deploy to GitHub pages
