Editing Docs Content

You can find the source of the documentation inside the pages/docs directory. Documentation is mostly written in markdown with the help of some React components.

Those components give us additional features which are not available in markdown.

Adding New Docs

You can start writing the new docs page by adding it to the pages/docs directory starting with the following code:

import markdown from 'markdown-in-js'
import withDoc, { components } from '../../../lib/with-doc'

import { TerminalInput } from '../../../components/text/terminal'

// prettier-ignore
export default withDoc({
  title: 'The Title for the New Guide',
  date: '23 June 2017',
  authors: [],
})(markdown(components)`

This is the content written in Markdown.

${
  <TerminalInput># this is how we show the terminal input</TerminalInput>  
}

`)

Then you can add it to the sidebar by editing the file located at: lib/data/docs.js.

Adding Images and Assets

You can add images and assets into the static directory. Always try to avoid using hosted images. If you are creating a new docs page, keep you images inside a subdirectory under static/docs.

New Components

Always try to use the existing components and features in markdown. Create a new component or use a component from NPM, unless there is no other option.

Submiting Changes / New Doc Pages

You can simply send a PR. It's simple as that.
