This repository hosts the OpenCost website, documentation, and blog.
This website is primarily built using Docusaurus 2, a modern static website generator that is built on React. It is styled using Tailwind CSS.
If you are not (yet!) part of the maintainer team and are considering making changes to the website, please first create an Issue. That way, we can discuss your changes and ensure they're accepted.
To edit the website, create a fork of the repository and make your changes in the fork. Then, open a pull request in this repository.
When you open a pull request, Vercel will automatically generate a preview of the website. All merges to the main branch will automatically deploy to the OpenCost website.
To start the server:
$ npm install
$ npm run start
A new tab will open in your browser. You can view the website at http://localhost:3000. The local site will update automatically when you make changes.
Docusaurus ships with a lot of default components that are not visible in /src. To add your own components, you can use swizzling. Note that it's not always clear which components in the hierarchy need to be swizzled -- if you need to reset a swizzled up component back to its default, delete the swizzled up component's files.
Use existing posts to as a template for your new post.
To create a new blog post, create a new directory in /blog. Prefix the directory name with the date of the post, in the format YYYY-MM-DD. For example, if you want to create a blog post titled "Hello World", create a directory called 2020-01-01-hello_world.
In this directory, create a file called index.md. This file will be the blog post's main content. Use <!--truncate--> to indicate the point at which the post should be truncated when viewing it in a list of blogposts on OpenCost site.
To include any images in the blog post, create a directory called img, and reference them in the post using .
Use existing documentation pages as a template.
To create a new standalone documentation page, create a new file in /docs. The file name should be the page title, with spaces replaced with underscores. For example, if you want to create a page called "Hello World", create a file called hello_world.md. Documentation pages are rendered as Markdown, so you can use Markdown syntax to create a page.
Each document needs some metadata about the page, e.g. sidebar_position, slug, title, etc. Check out the full list of metadata keys.
Documentation can also be organized into hierarchical sections, using the same pattern as for blog posts.
The OpenCost swagger.json is incorporated on the API tab through Redoc.
