Mintlify Client

The client is essentially a frontend template used to host documentation. In production, when yarn prebuild is ran it fetches all the relevant assets (the config file, the content (mdx files), and static assets) and plugs them into the appropriate locations before building.

Your First Code Contribution

Prerequisites

• Node v16.13.2 (npm v8.1.2)
• Yarn

Dependencies

From a terminal, where you have cloned the repository, execute the following command to install the required dependencies:

yarn

Build

• INTERNAL_SITE_BEARER_TOKEN=example yarn prebuild - fetches the files for the site associated with that bearer token from GitHub. You need the pre-hashed bearer token for that to work. Mintlify employees can request the token that grants access to a test site. In the future, we will work on a way of generating temporary bearer tokens from an employee login.
• yarn local - the local version of yarn prebuild (fetches the content from the local ../docs folder)
• yarn local-to-docs - transfers the untracked files to the ../docs file (helpful for when you're working on content and you want to see changes live)
  • Both yarn local and yarn local-to-docs take in a filepath as a parameter for when you want to transfer files to a directory that isn't ../docs. For example, let's say I'm working on a migration for a client, then I can run yarn local ../../clients/vital/docs to get the files from that folder.

Formatting

This project uses prettier for code formatting. You can run prettier across the code by calling yarn run format from a terminal.

To format the code as you make changes you can install the Prettier - Code formatter extension.

Add the following to your User Settings to run prettier:

"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"

You can either modify the settings.json file or click on Preferences > Settings to use the UI.
