sigstore-website

A new standard for signing, verifying and protecting software

sigstore logo

The sigstore website is run on an open source framework called Nuxt JS, a VUE app framework. You can read more about it here. The reason we chose this had many factors that included greater SEO support, SPA's, and the ability to connect an API of our choice being easy.

sigstore content is created with Netlify CMS, which is an open source content management system that generates markdown content. The integration within the Nuxt app was perfect and the query interface for getting content was very clear and easy to set up.

To log into the CMS you need to be invited via Netlify identity to access the CMS itself. Once you have gone through the necessary steps to creating and verifying your account you can go in and start editing content.

NOTE: The docs page (docs.sigstore.dev) is hosted out of the docs branch of this repository.

Special directories

You can create the following extra directories, some of which have special behaviors. Only pages is required; you can delete them if you don't want to use their functionality.

assets

The assets directory contains your uncompiled assets such as Stylus or Sass files, images, or fonts.

More information about the usage of this directory in the documentation.

components

The components directory contains your Vue.js components. Components make up the different parts of your page and can be reused and imported into your pages, layouts and even other components.

More information about the usage of this directory in the documentation.

layouts

Layouts are a great help when you want to change the look and feel of your Nuxt app, whether you want to include a sidebar or have distinct layouts for mobile and desktop.

More information about the usage of this directory in the documentation.

pages

This directory contains your application views and routes. Nuxt will read all the *.vue files inside this directory and setup Vue Router automatically.

More information about the usage of this directory in the documentation.

plugins

The plugins directory contains JavaScript plugins that you want to run before instantiating the root Vue.js Application. This is the place to add Vue plugins and to inject functions or constants. Every time you need to use Vue.use(), you should create a file in plugins/ and add its path to plugins in nuxt.config.js.

More information about the usage of this directory in the documentation.

static

This directory contains your static files. Each file inside this directory is mapped to /.

Example: /static/robots.txt is mapped as /robots.txt.

More information about the usage of this directory in the documentation.

store

This directory contains your Vuex store files. Creating a file in this directory automatically activates Vuex.

css

We use Tailwind for our css which uses SASS, and it is highly configurable from the smallest config option(type sizes) through to more larger config(variables for hover states and buttons). It is a styleguide for the front-end and it borrows the same idea that you get within design systems.
