Obol Network

This repo intends to serve as a documentation site for the Obol Network.

Quickstart

This website is built using Docusaurus 2, a modern static website generator.

Installation

$ yarn

Local Development

$ yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

$ yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

This repo is configured with Github Actions to deploy the built site to github pages. Committing or merging to master will update the production documentation site.

Versioning

Docusaurus can manage multiple versions of your docs.

Create a docs version

Release a version v0.5.0 of your project:

First update the sample command in ./docs/dv/01_introducing-charon.md and update all CLI sample output in ./docs/dv/09_charon_cli_reference.md.

Now you are ready to create the next version by running the following command.

yarn run version v0.5.0

The docs folder is copied into versioned_docs/version-v0.5.0 and versions.json is created.

Your docs now have 2 versions:

• v0.5.0 at http://localhost:3000/docs/ for the version v0.5.0 docs
• current at http://localhost:3000/docs/next/ for the upcoming, unreleased docs

Now push this to a branch and merge to main to release this version update publicly.

Add a Version Dropdown

To navigate seamlessly across versions, add a version dropdown.

Modify the docusaurus.config.js file:

module.exports = {
  themeConfig: {
    navbar: {
      items: [
        // highlight-start
        {
          type: "docsVersionDropdown",
        },
        // highlight-end
      ],
    },
  },
};

The docs version dropdown appears in your navbar:

Update an existing version

It is possible to edit versioned docs in their respective folder:

• versioned_docs/version-1.0/hello.md updates http://localhost:3000/docs/hello
• docs/hello.md updates http://localhost:3000/docs/next/hello

Translate your site

Let's translate docs/intro.md to French.

Configure i18n

Modify docusaurus.config.js to add support for the fr locale:

module.exports = {
  i18n: {
    defaultLocale: "en",
    locales: ["en", "fr"],
  },
};

Translate a doc

Copy the docs/intro.md file to the i18n/fr folder:

mkdir -p i18n/fr/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/

cp docs/intro.md i18n/fr/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/intro.md

Translate i18n/fr/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current/intro.md in French.

Start your localized site

Start your site on the French locale:

npm run start -- --locale fr

Your localized site is accessible at http://localhost:3000/fr/ and the Getting Started page is translated.

:::caution

In development, you can only use one locale at a same time.

Add a Locale Dropdown

To navigate seamlessly across languages, add a locale dropdown.

Modify the docusaurus.config.js file:

module.exports = {
  themeConfig: {
    navbar: {
      items: [
        // highlight-start
        {
          type: "localeDropdown",
        },
        // highlight-end
      ],
    },
  },
};

The locale dropdown now appears in your navbar:

Build your localized site

Build your site for a specific locale:

npm run build -- --locale fr

Or build your site to include all the locales at once:

npm run build
