Overhaul of Parse Server Guide #809

dblythy · 2021-01-04T13:17:31Z

This PR is intended to replace the README of the Parse Server repo, ensuring that all documentation is in one place.

I personally think that the README of the Parse Server repo should be stripped back to capture what Parse Server is about in a few lines, and then point to the docs for the most updated references.

Not sure if we want the contributors / sponsors on the site as well - I think it's a nice touch.

Closes #808

I kind of thought I'd submitted a review on this but clearly not, it's still pending!

dblythy · 2021-02-01T18:08:03Z

No worries @TomWFox. No rush at all. If you have bulk changes suggested I can happily share my branch with you.

Before merging, I'll have to go back through again and add changes to the GitHub readme, such as Localization.

I have looked it all over now so we're getting there 😀

I've added Localization but I couldn't get the table to format. Are markdown tables supported or do we need to reformat?

mtrezza · 2021-02-11T01:26:20Z

Keep the empty lines before and after the table. Empty lines are missing at many places of the Localization part that you pasted. Try to keep the content and copy/paste without much modification, because empty lines are important in MD.

dblythy · 2021-02-11T01:34:48Z

Thanks! My mac must have removed them in the copy/paste bc I don't think I deliberately removed them.

Anyway, here's how the table looks now. Any ideas as to how to optimize?

mtrezza · 2021-02-11T01:41:50Z

Table formatting for the GitHub MD interpreter is a topic on its own - but it's possible. If you're interested, see here why.

TomWFox · 2021-02-11T11:04:25Z

Markdown tables are not fun, learnt that the hard way!

Edit: feel free to play around with it but my guess is that a different format will work best here

mtrezza · 2021-02-11T14:31:06Z

I agree with different format, like in the API docs. I also think this would be better placed in the docs than in the README.

TomWFox · 2021-02-12T00:40:05Z

Is this ready for another review?

dblythy · 2021-02-12T00:42:42Z

Yes plz 👍

So we have lost some of the extra info provided in this table.

@mtrezza you're better placed to comment on the importance of this

There have been no changes to the feature, the table's content should remain.

Maybe hold off addressing this until #809 (comment) has been resolved

mtrezza

Good restructuring, just some formatting...

Not in favor of this format, IMO harder to read than the table. Can we find something better visually structured? Edit: I am referring to the "Parameters" paragraph.

Potentially naive question - is this something that is or can be documented in the api reference?

Do we really need an extra page for 1 sentence?

We could perhaps remove this entirely as it's 'how to use npm packages' info rather than 'how to use Parse Server'.

Anyone that doesn't know about how to use the master branch before reading this probably shouldn't be anyway.
