This project produce a UI bundle that can be used by Antora for Tackler Ddocumentation site. You can see a preview of the default UI at tackler.fi/docs/.
This is a fork of Antora default UI tailored for Tackler. The upstream main branch is here.
This section offers a basic tutorial to teach you how to set up the default UI project, preview it locally, and bundle it for use with Antora. A more comprehensive tutorial can be found in the documentation at docs.antora.org.
podman run --publish 127.0.0.1:5252:5252 -v $PWD:$PWD:Z -w $PWD --rm -it node:22-alpine ash
Then inside container use npm to install the project’s dependencies inside the project. In your container’s terminal, execute the following command:
$ npm install
This command installs the dependencies listed in package.json into the node_modules/ folder inside the project. This folder does not get included in the UI bundle and should not be committed to the source control repository.
npm install
Clone the default UI project using git:
$ git clone https://github.com/tackler-ng/antora-ui-default && cd "`basename $_`"
The example above clones Antora’s default UI project and then switches to the project folder on your filesystem. Stay in this project folder when executing all subsequent commands.
The Tackler UI project is configured to preview offline. The files in the preview-src/ folder provide the sample content that allow you to see the UI in action. In this folder, you’ll primarily find pages written in AsciiDoc. These pages provide a representative sample and kitchen sink of content from the real site.
To build the UI and preview it in a local web server, run the preview command:
$ npx gulp preview
You’ll see a URL listed in the output of this command:
[12:00:00] Starting server... [12:00:00] Server started http://localhost:5252 [12:00:00] Running server
Navigate to this URL to preview the site locally.
While this command is running, any changes you make to the source files will be instantly reflected in the browser.
This works by monitoring the project for changes, running the preview:build task if a change is detected, and sending the updates to the browser.
Press Ctrl+C to stop the preview server and end the continuous build.
If you need to package the UI so you can use it to generate the documentation site locally, run the following command:
$ npx gulp bundle
If any errors are reported by lint, you’ll need to fix them.
When the command completes successfully, the UI bundle will be available at build/ui-bundle.zip.
You can point Antora at this bundle using the --ui-bundle-url command-line option.
If you have the preview running, and you want to bundle without causing the preview to be clobbered, use:
$ npx gulp bundle:pack
The UI bundle will again be available at build/ui-bundle.zip.
The build consolidates all the CSS and client-side JavaScript into combined files, site.css and site.js, respectively, in order to reduce the size of the bundle. Source maps correlate these combined files with their original sources.
This “source mapping” is accomplished by generating additional map files that make this association. These map files sit adjacent to the combined files in the build folder. The mapping they provide allows the debugger to present the original source rather than the obfuscated file, an essential tool for debugging.
In preview mode, source maps are enabled automatically, so there’s nothing you have to do to make use of them.
If you need to include source maps in the bundle, you can do so by setting the SOURCEMAPS environment variable to true when you run the bundle command:
$ SOURCEMAPS=true npx gulp bundle
In this case, the bundle will include the source maps, which can be used for debugging your production site.
