# Kivy.org Website (https://www.kivy.org)
## Folder structure
- `configs` : contains the configurations needed to build the page templates via the **build** tool (during development and also distribution).
- `content` : This folder will be copied as-is to the website distribution (`dist`) during **build**. _Please make sure that everything included in this folder is expected to be publicly accessible via kivy.org._
- `templates` : All the HTML templates needed to build the Kivy website are here.
- `tools`: Contains `build.py`, which is needed in order to build the website.
## How do we generate the page from templates?
The **build tool** (`tools/build.py`) uses the `config/config.json` file in order to know which pages should be built and how to build them.
Multiple pages are defined in `config/config.json`, and each page has its own `template` and `env`.
### But in `templates/index.html`, there's an `[[ include "components/header.html" ]]`. What that does mean? And how we should use `env`?
The **build tool** uses [Renoir](https://github.com/emmett-framework/renoir) under the hood as a templating engine. Renoir is easy, production-ready and has quite complete [documentation](https://github.com/emmett-framework/renoir/blob/master/docs/quickstart.md).
`env` should contain all the variables that need to be accessed during the page generation.
As an example, with the following configuration:
```json
...
{
"template": "index.html",
"env": {
"name": "Kivy"
}
}
...
```
And the following snippet in `index.html`
```html
<p>Hi, [[ =name ]]</p>
```
Will produce the following output, when the template has been built:
```html
<p>Hello, Kivy</p>
```
## How about the styling (CSS)?
Writing CSS code from scratch can be boring and stressful, and sometimes it is a pain to maintain.
[TailwindCSS](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss) fills this gap, marking itself as a utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom user interfaces. It also comes with an extensive documentation and offers a lot of examples: [Getting Started with Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/docs).
## Quick start:
### First-time setup
- Clone the `kivy-website` repository and move into the `kivy-website` folder
```bash
git clone https://github.com/kivy/kivy-website.git
cd kivy-website
```
- Install `node` requirements (`tailwindcss`)
```bash
npm install
```
- Install the required `python` deps to build the website templates. (a virtualenv is recommended)
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## Building the website (output is placed in the `dist` folder)
### Development mode
Both **tailwindcss** and the **build tool** come with auto-reload options in order to speed up site development.
```bash
npm run develop
```
```bash
python tools/build.py --watch
```
### Building for production
```bash
npm run build
```
```bash
python tools/build.py
