techdocs-backend
This is the backend part of the techdocs plugin.
Getting Started
This backend plugin can be started in a standalone mode directly from in this package
using yarn start
. However, it will have limited functionality and that process is
most convenient when developing the techdocs backend plugin itself.
To evaluate TechDocs and have a greater amount of functionality available, instead do:
cd packages/backend
yarn start
What techdocs-backend does
This provides serving and building of documentation for any entity.
To configure various storage providers and building options, see http://backstage.io/docs/features/techdocs/configuration.
The techdocs-backend re-exports the techdocs-node package which has the features to prepare, generate and publish docs.
The Publishers are also used to fetch the static documentation files and render them in TechDocs.
