We welcome contributions to improve the documentation. Simply open a pull request to start collaborating!

Requirements

• Hugo Extended (with SCSS support), version 0.58.3 or higher
  • Install corresponding hugo_extended_* package from binaries, or
  • Build from source code

  git checkout github.com/gohugoio/hugo
  cd hugo
  CGO_ENABLED=1
  go install -v --tags extended
  

Development

To start the hugo server, run this command:

hugo server

GraphQL API Reference

The GraphQL API Reference content is generated straight from the GraphQL schema of the different products we support.

To update them, a pre-defined project layout on disk is expected by the script. You must have the three following project colocated as siblings alongside the dfuse-docs project:

• dfuse-docs
• dfuse-eosio

The later two must be named verbatim, the first one dfuse-docs could be named whatever you like. Once the following layout exist on your local workstation, to update the GraphQL generate API reference data, first install the script dependencies:

npm install

Then run the following command:

node graphql.js

This should update the file data/eos/graphql.json (and any other chains we now support) if the GraphQL schema has been updated.

Content Structure

All content can be found in the /content directory. The structure of the website is generated automatically based on the structure of that directory.

Style guide

Links

• 1.1 external: When you insert an external link use the external-link shortcode

  {{< external-link href="https://dfuse.eosnation.io" title="dfuseio" >}}
  {{< external-link href="https://dfuse.eosnation.io">}}

• 1.2 internal references: Please put all internal references as full paths, for greppability and refactoring.

Example code

Use the following begin and end tags to indicate code sections that need to be referenced:

// CODE:BEGIN:quickstarts_javascript_node_eos_section1
function() {
  var some = "code"
}
// CODE:END:quickstarts_javascript_node_eos_section1

Section names need to follow the path of the file from project root. For example the example snippet is from the file:

├── quickstarts
│   └── javascript
│       └── node
│           └── index.eos.js
├── guides
└── ...

When hugo builds the site, the code sections are extracted and stored in the data folder in project root. Example code can then be referenced with the following shortcode:

{{< code-section "quickstarts_javascript_node_eos_section1" >}}

Deployment

Any commit to master automatically triggers a deployment. For this reason, the master branch is locked, requiring all changes to go through an approved pull request.
