Repository organization

The content in this directory follows the organization of documentation at https://docs.tooljet.ai

This directory contains the following folders:

/tooljet/docs
├── sidebars.json        # sidebar for the next(upcoming) docs version
├── docs                 # docs directory for the next(upcoming) docs version

├── versioned_sidebars                 # includes sidebar for the specific versions

└── package.json

\src - contains the ToolJet documentation website code. The documentation website is built using Docusaurus 2.

tooljet\docs\docs\ - This directory serves as the base directory for the documentation. Any modifications made within this directory will be reflected in the next version of the documentation. Each folder inside this directory corresponds to specific content and contains markdown files related to that content.

Workflow

The two suggested workflows are:

• For small changes, use the "Edit this page" button on each page to edit the Markdown file directly on GitHub.
• If you plan to make significant changes or preview the changes locally, clone the repo to your system to and follow the installation and local development steps in Local setup.

Conventions

• The front matter for every markdown file should include the id and a title. id will be used to reference the file in sidebar.js or version-x.x.x-sidebars.json for a specific version.

  ---
  id: building-internal-tool
  title: Building internal tool with ToolJet
  ---
  

• Use lowercase for file and folder names and dashes - as separators. For example:

  • /docs/data-sources/sap-hana.md
  • /docs/how-to/bulk-update-multiple-rows.md

• Images are important to bring the product to life and clarify the written content. For images you're adding to the repo, store them in the img subfolder inside static folder. For every topic there needs to be a folder inside \static\img\ section, for example: static\img\how-to\bulk-update\query1.png. When you link to an image, the path and filename are case-sensitive. The convention is for image filenames to be all lowercase and use dashes - for separators.

  Example code for adding an image in markdown file:

  <div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
  
  <img className="screenshot-full" src="/img/button-group.png" alt="Button group" />
  
  </div>
  

Local setup

Requirements

• Node version 16.14

Installation

yarn install

Note: Please note that if you make any changes that will be reflected in the upcoming version of the ToolJet documentation, you should set the includeCurrentVersion value to true in the docusaurus.config.js file. After making the necessary changes, be sure to set the value back to false and then commit the changes. Setting the value to true will load the docs/docs/ base directory as the next version for local development, allowing you to preview the changes.

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.
