Help with development

The following sections are for people who wish to contribute on a more technical level.

If you're interested in assisting the project from a technical standpoint and have experience with React or NextJS please reach out via discord (link coming soon).

Getting started

• Node 12.0.0 or greater is required -- 16.13.0 recommended
• NVM is recommended for node version management
  • node 16.3.0 is recommended as that is what is used for development. (nvm use 16.3.0)

To start developing the project run the following:

nvm use 16.3.0
npm install
npm run dev

Styling components

This project uses styled-components to style components by using CSS in JS. Read more about styled-components here.

Style constants

Check out the /styles folder to see constant styles. Please use these styles and add to them when appropriate. This reduces inconsistency across CSS & styles in the app. Here is an example using the fontSizes from the Type module of our styles module.

import styled from 'styled-components'

import { Type } from 'styles'

export const MyContainer = styled.div`
  font-size: ${Type.fontSizes.body};
`

You can also use the theme prop which contains the active theme info (dark and light mode not yet supported but allows us to do so easily in the future):

export const LicenseLink = styled.a`
  margin-left: 3px;
  &:hover {
    path {
      fill: ${props => props.theme.brand};
    }
  }
`

Create your own pages (new navigation pages, not blogs etc.)

Technical details on how the mdx routing works

• [slug].js generates static paths using getStaticPaths from all .mdx files located in the specified directory (content/ by default).
• The getStaticProps NextJS method passes the MDX content including front-matter (parsed with gray-matter) to the <PostPage /> component to be rendered.
• The index or home page uses similar logic to generate a list of posts sorted by date.

Goals

Statically generated guides & wiki based on file system within Git repo.
