Processing Website

This repo holds the code for the processing.org website. The website is built with Gatsby.

Running the site locally

To run the site locally, make sure that you have Node.js installed (v12 minimum).

Clone down this repo and cd into the folder via the command-line
Run npm install to install the dependencies
Run npm run dev to run the development server

Now open localhost:8000 in your browser of choice.

Editing content

In order to edit the content on the website, it's important to understand how the translation and internationalization frameworks are set up. For this, we distinguish between two things:

UI language

This content is more static, such as page headings and the descriptions on the front page. This is controlled by the react-intl package, and all definitions of UI language can be found in the i18n/react-intl folder. Each language will have its own .json file in this folder, and this is where edits to the UI language should happen.

Page content

This content includes most of the content on the website such as the individual items under reference, tutorials, tools, etc. Each content type has its own setup based on where the source lives. As an example, the reference is generated from the Processing source code and has its own way of translating those generated files. The following guides explain how to change the content on the website by section.

When translating the content to a new language you need to edit the i18n/config.json file and add your language information. Then follow the instructions for each Content list (same links as above).

Deploying the site

Since 2024, this repository is deployed and built automatically on Netlify.

The website is set up to deploy itself whenever the "Deploy Website" GitHub action is run. This triggers a new deploy from the main branch where the website is built, uploaded, and a new GitHub Release is created with a reference.zip file containing the contents of the website for loading in the IDE.

~~1. Go to Actions~~ ~~2. Click "Deploy Website" in the left sidebar~~ ~~3. Click "Run workflow" on the right~~ ~~4. Fill in the details and click the green "Run workflow" button.~~

~~Note that it's possible to deploy the website with or without making a GitHub release. For this, toggle the checkbox under "Run workflow".~~

`keywords.txt`

The website repo has a script that generates the keywords.txt file into the processing4 repo to use for syntax highlighting the PDE. Follow these steps in order to generate that file:

Make sure you have this processing-website repo and the processing4 repo next to each other on your computer
Make sure the JavaDoc and reference are up to date with the latest version of Processing. Otherwise make the necessary updates to the JavaDoc in the processing4 repo then run the Doclet script. (note: this step is only necessary if new keywords were added to the Processing API)
Run npm run updateKeywords

The processing4 repo now has an updated java/keywords.txt file.

Building the site

If you need to manually build the site, you can do it by running npm run build from the project source. This command is that runs behind the scenes when deploying a release.

It will build from the source and produce the static website in a folder public. Once built, the site can run in any static file server.
