documentation

Technical documentation for Armory Spinnaker.

Development

Guides and docs are in markdown. They are split up into directories such as _overview, _user_guides, and _admin_guides. You can modify the markdown files in those directories, or add new ones. The 'order' field at the top of the md files determine where it will be placed on the list.

Jekyll is used to compile the markdown into a website.

Adding a Section

• Create a directory for your new section contents to reside, prefix the directory name with an underscore (ex. _spinnaker, _admin_guides).

• Add a top-level file named as your section directory, without the leading underscore, but with .md as an extension -- copy one of the existing files (ex. spinnaker.md, admin_guides.md). Updat the title, permalink, and collection (the last should be set to the name of your section (ex. spinnaker, admin_guides)

• Add a section in _config.yml under collections, look at the existing examples:

collections:
  spinnaker:
    output: true
    permalink: /spinnaker/:title/
  admin_guides:
    output: true
    permalink: /admin-guides/:title/

• You'll need to add to _includes/base/header.html a section that provides a section title and iterates over the contents. You can copy from an existing section and just edit two places. In this example, you would change "Armory Spinnaker" to the section title of your choice, and site.spinnaker to site.<your section name>. The rest can be left as-is.

        <li class="Nav-list__section">
          <h3 class="Header--tiny toggle-section-trigger js__toggle-section-trigger" tabindex="0">Armory Spinnaker</h3>
          <ul class="toggle-section">
            {% assign sorted_install_guide = site.spinnaker | sort: 'order' %}
            {% for link in sorted_install_guide %}
              <li><a class="Nav-list__link{% if page.url == link.url %} is-active{% endif %}" href="{{ link.url | relative_url }}">{{ link.title | escape }}</a></li>
            {% endfor %}
          </ul>
        </li>
