This is the website of typelevel.scala. It is built on Jekyll and served at typelevel.org.
If you just want to add a blog post or fix a typo in the content, here's how to get started.
- Create a new file in the
_posts
directory or copy an existing post. Its name should have the formatYYYY-MM-DD-short_title.md
. - Set the
title
(short title of the post, appears as the HTML<title>
) andauthor
(your GitHub user name) in the front matter. MathJax is available viamathjax: true
inside the front matter. - If this is your first blog post, please indicate if you want your name and a profile picture to appear on the post. If not, you can remove the
author
field from the front matter. Add your details in_data/authors.yml
. - Write your content using Markdown. For code highlighting, use the usual GitHub syntax:
def yourCode: Here
If you haven't written a post before, please add yourself to _data/authors.yml
.
That's it, we'll take care of the rest. If you wish, you can also submit just a plain Markdown file and we'll be happy to integrate it.
To preview your changes, you have to install Ruby and Bundler first. Once you've done that, you can start the Jekyll server like this:
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve --watch --baseurl ''
This will start a local web server on port 4000 where you can browse the site and which re-generates the site if you change the source files.
The stylesheets are written in SASS, and can be found in the css
and _scss
directories.
It is being processed/compiled into regular CSS by Jekyll.
├── css/
│ ├── main.scss # Custom CSS, brings all stylesheets together
├── _scss/
│ ├── _fonts.scss # @font-face embedding.
│ ├── _mixins.scss # SASS mixins
│ ├── _reset.scss # Normalize stylesheet
│ ├── _syntax.scss # Syntax highlighting by Pygments
│ ├── _variables.scss # SASS variables (colors, fonts, etc.)
Javascript can be found in the js/
folder, which also includes its dependencies.
All templates/layouts can be found in the _layouts
folder, except the blog layout, which is located inside its own subfolder blog/
.
Images for styling purposes are located inside img/
, photos inside img/media/
.
There are three types of projects: core/featured projects, regular projecs, and macros.
To add a regular project, create a new markdown file in the _projects
folder with the following front matter:
layout: post
title: "Cats"
category: "Functional Programming"
description: "An experimental library intended to provide abstractions for functional programming in Scala, leveraging its unique features. Design goals are approachability, modularity, documentation and efficiency."
permalink: "https://non.github.io/cats/"
github: "https://github.com/non/cats"
Right now nothing more than the correct front matter is required.
Do the same for a core/featured project, but also add core: true
.
To add companions or extensions to these projects, use the front matter, too:
extensions:
- title: "Dogs"
description: "Functional data structures"
github: "https://github.com/stew/dogs"
- title: "Alleycats"
description: "Lawless classes & illegal instances"
github: "https://github.com/non/alleycats"
Macros are created a little differently. They are located in _data/macros.yml
and look like this:
- title: "imp"
description: "Summoning implicit values"
github: "https://github.com/non/imp"
To add a page, create a HTML or Markdown file in the root of the project. The site navgation is not fully dynamic for simplification purposes. It can be changed in the default layout (_layouts/default.html
).
Sample front matter for a page:
layout: page
title: "Code of Conduct"
