Lido Docs

Lido documentation is built using Docusaurus 2. The resulting version of documentation hosted via Github Pages from branch gh-pages of this repository.

Installation

yarn install

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.

Documentation Pages

Documentation pages stored in /docs folder. By default files with .md and .mdx extensions are treated as documentation pages. Every document has a unique id. By default, a document id is the name of the document (without the extension) relative to the root docs directory.

For example, greeting.md id is greeting and guide/hello.md id is guide/hello.

website # Root directory of your site
└── docs
   ├── greeting.md
   └── guide
      └── hello.md

However, the last part of the id can be defined by user in the front matter. For example, if guide/hello.md's content is defined as below, its final id is guide/part1.

---
id: part1
---
Lorem ipsum

If you want more control over the last part of the document URL, it is possible to add a slug (defaults to the id).

---
id: part1
slug: part1.html
---
Lorem ipsum

Documentation Sidebar

The appereance of sidebar controlled manually via sidebars.js file. This file is used to:

Group multiple related documents
Display a sidebar on each of those documents
Provide a paginated navigation, with next/previous button

By default new added pages don't added to sidebar automatically. For example to add new page faq.md as the last item of sidebar we need modify sidebar.js next way:

module.exports = {
  docs: [
    // Above sections
    // ...
    'faq',
  ],
}

Additional information about sidebar and ways to modify it can be found here
