Vocdoni is the first universally verifiable, censorship-resistant, anonymous, and self-sovereign governance protocol.
Our main aim is a trustless voting system where anyone can speak their voice and where everything is auditable.
We are engineering building blocks for a permissionless, private and censorship resistant democracy.

developer-portal

This repository hosts the Vocdoni developer portal, the source-of-truth of technical documentation for all of the software under the Vocdoni umbrella. It is created with Docusaurus and is hosted at https://developer.vocdoni.io

Getting Started

You can host the developer portal locally. The easiest way to do so is with the docusaurus development server:

yarn install
yarn start

You can also build the site:

yarn build

You can locally deploy the site:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

This will run docusaurus deploy which deploys whatever iteration of the site has been built in the build/ folder. It will then push the build result to the remote gh-pages branch corresponding to the branch you are running the command from.

Reference

There are multiple auto-generated documentation files that require generation.

Generate the API documentation

The Vocdoni API documentation is sourced from the swaggers folder. If you modified the swagger file under swaggers/ folder and want to build .mdx files again:

yarn run re-gen

Note that this docs generation step is already performed as part of yarn start or yarn build.

Generate the SDK documentation

If you want to generate the SDK documentation for yourself, you can do so from inside the docs directory in the vocdoni-sdk project.

yarn
yarn build

This creates a temporary documentation folder temp_docs. Then you can return to the developer-documentation directory and run the yarn script to replace the SDK reference folder, clean up some broken autogenerated links, and remove the temp_docs folder:

# Set the vocdoni sdk folder path
export VOCDONI_SDK_PATH=......
yarn copy-sdk-docs

Note that the SDK docs are tracked by git, and you should not need to do this if you are not a repo maintainer.

Translations

We integrated crowdin for translations. Use:

yarn crowdin:upload

To upload translations to crowdin. There you can translate the files and then download them using:

yarn crowdin:download

This will download translation files to the i18n/ folder. To test them use yarn start -- --locale es.

See these issues 1, 2 to understand why the pre/post scripts on crowdin download and upload.

Contributing

While we welcome contributions from the community, we do not track all of our issues on Github and we may not have the resources to onboard developers and review complex pull requests. That being said, there are multiple ways you can get involved with the project.
