Schibsted account API Documentation

The Schibsted account API Documentation is a Clojure app that pulls information from the API itself and merges it with examples and meta-data stored in this repository. The site can be browsed/developed live, or exported to static files.

Up and running

1. Install Leiningen

   1. Download the lein script
   2. Place it on your $PATH where your shell can find it (eg. ~/bin)
   3. Set it to be executable (chmod a+x ~/bin/lein)
   4. Run it (lein) and it will download the self-install package

2. Fetch and run the web server

   git clone git@github.com:schibsted/spid-tech-docs.git
   cd spid-tech-docs
   lein ring server

   That should pop up a browser with the Schibsted account API documentation. Replace server with server-headless if you would prefer to open your own browser window.

Note: There's no need to restart the server after making changes.

Writing documentation

Check out the wiki. First time around? Start with the general overview.

You might also want to check out a summary of this wiki in presentation form, or even a video of that presentation.

Exporting the site

If you want a static export of the site, cd into the root of the project, then run:

lein build-site

The resulting site in ./dist is ready for use and can be scp-ed directly to a server. Note that it doesn't work well served from file:// because it uses absolute URLs. Just use python -m SimpleHTTPServer in the directory to set up a local web server for it.

Developing the site

The documentation is built in Clojure using various libraries. The main structure of the app is thoroughly described in Building static sites in Clojure with Stasis, a tutorial on building sites on the same basic principle.

Running the tests

You can run all the tests with ./run-integration-tests.sh, or you can start autotesting on a faster subset of the tests with ./autotest.sh

Note that nodejs is used to create SVG sequence diagrams. The latest compatible version of nodejs is 0.10.0. Use nvm to manage different versions of nodejs locally and make sure that you use version 0.10.0 when running the integration tests.
