Polkadot Network Directory

Documentation about Chains of the Polkadot and Kusama networks

Install tooling

Folders

  • chain_info: General information about chains in yaml format
  • chain_data: Data fetched onchain based on the chain_info (currently unused)

General idea

     chain_foo.yaml   \
     chain_bar.yaml    }    chains.json            }     mdbook
     chain_baz.yaml   /     markdown per chain    /

Usage

You can refresh the book using:

 just render

You can automatically watch the changes by using:

 just watch

If you want to serve a page showing the result, in another terminal, you may run:

 just serve

Editing content

The only content that needs editing are the yaml files under chain_info. Do NOT edit any of the markdown files, your changes will be lost.

Editing templates

You can find template files using:

 find . -name "*.tera"

There are 2 important templates:

  • templates/one.md.tera: This template is used to convert the input yaml data into a markdown file per chain
  • templates/summary.md.tera: This template is used to dynamically generate the summary of the book, it takes care of organising parachains under their parent relaychain

Reference file

During the generation, all the data is aggregated into a json file containing the information about all the chains.
