The relationship between the website and SwiftUI.swift main file is confusing

[jevonmao]

TL;DR

I would like to contribute, but I am not sure how exactly the SwiftUI.swift translates into the website.

In the SwiftUI.swift file, it seems like there is an extension for every single existing Swift API, with copied paste documentation from Apple's Documentation. Obviously, the point of this project is to replace them with better, detailed, step by step documentation. But not all the methods in SwiftUI.swift shows up on the website. Will they automatically show up once the documentation is edited, or is this a manual process?

By the way, should we break up the SwiftUI.swift file into subfiles, organizing by the SwiftUI component type? Because it is kind of painful when all the previews on Github doesn't work.

Hi! To your two points here:

How do I contribute?

Simply add your documentation to the SwiftUI.swift file above the method you'd like to document. Currently all methods in SwiftUI.swift should be on the website, however, we have had bugs where some don't show up. Do you see any specifically that aren't showing up?

Break up the SwiftUI.swift file?

Really good idea. Will investigate how difficult it is to actually do this. But smart.

Lmk if this clarifies your questions. If so I'll close the issue.

1. drawingGroup seems missing on the website, can you verify?

2. For contributions, is there any area or category I should focus on? I want to focus on what needs help or is incomplete.

To be fair, it didn't come up when I searched it & I had to go to Views modifiers to find it. We'll improve our search.

is there any area I should focus on?

Great question. We really don't have a good "triage" system right now. We recommend starting with pages that you personally want to improve.

Thank you very much! Great project you have right here.
