Authoring Pages

Below is a full description of how to author pages. For now though, trigger the dev script (yarn dev).

Docs are generated using Next.js, please refer to their docs on how to create pages as a primer.

The root-level src folder is the only directory you need touch in order to CRUD pages.

Within this folder exists a pages/index.tsx file. This will be rendered as a page at the route /. Within the src/pages/lib/q/platform/ folder is a [platform].mdx file, which will be rendered as a page at the route /lib.

In order to have the page render properly and display in the sidebar, please place your page and it's route in src/directory/directory.js

IMPORTANT: every page has to have a title and description meta field.

The markdown body is parsed as MDX and can include any valid HTML or JSX.

To inline fragments, and have them conditionally render based off selected platform, we add the condition to the Fragments tag:

import js from "/src/fragments/lib/datastore/js/conflict.mdx";

<Fragments fragments={{js: js}} />;

This fragment would exist in: pages/src/fragments/lib/datastore/js/conflict.mdx

Tab-switchable Blocks

BlockSwitcher allows you to organize blocks of content into tabs. This is useful for presenting a reader different instructions based upon framework (e.g. Vue.js vs. React) or language (e.g. Java vs. Kotlin). Here's an example of its usage:

<BlockSwitcher>

<Block name="JavaScript">

```js
const a = "a";
```

</Block>

<Block name="TypeScript">

```ts
const a: "a" = "a";
```

</Block>

<Block name="Rust">

```rust
let mut a = String::from("a");
```

</Block>

</BlockSwitcher>
