Issues, bugs, and requests
We welcome contributions and feedback on our website! Please file a request in our issue tracker and we'll take a look.
Developing
Install Jekyll and related tools by following the instructions provided by GitHub.
A tldr version follows:
-
Ensure you have Ruby installed; you need version 2.2.2 or later:
ruby --version
-
Ensure you have Bundler installed; if not install with:
gem install bundler
-
Install all dependencies:
bundle install
-
Create a branch.
-
Make your changes.
-
Test your changes by serving the site locally:
bundle exec jekyll serve
(orjekyll serve -w --force_polling
) -
Prior to submitting, run link validation:
rake checklinks
Writing for flutter.io
(Eventually, this section should be expanded to its own page.)
Adding next/previous page links
If you have a document that spans multiple pages, you can add next and previous page links to make navigating these pages easier. It involves adding some information to the front matter of each page, and including some HTML.
---
layout: tutorial
title: "Constraints"
permalink: /tutorials/layout/constraints.html
prev-page: /tutorials/layout/properties.html
prev-page-title: "Container Properties"
next-page: /tutorials/layout/create.html
next-page-title: "Create a Layout"
---
{% include prev-next-nav.html %}
{:toc}
<!-- PAGE CONTENT -->
{% include prev-next-nav.html %}
Omit the "prev-page" info for the first page, and the "next-page" info for the last page.
Syntax highlighting
The flutter.io website uses prism.js for syntax highlighting. This section covers how to use syntax highlighting, and how to update our syntax highlighter for new languages.
Supported languages
This website can syntax highlight the following languages:
- shell
- dart
- html
- css
- javascript
- java
- objectivec
- swift
Using syntax highlighting
The easiest way to syntax highlight a block of code is to wrap it with triple backticks followed by the language.
Here's an example:
```dart
class SomeCode {
String name;
}
```
See the list of supported languages above for what to use following the first triple backticks.
Adding more languages for syntax highlighting
The flutter.io website uses a custom build of prism, which includes only the languages the website requires. To improve load times and user experience, we do not support every language that prism supports.
To add a new language for syntax highlighting, you will need
to generate a new copy of the prism.js
file.
Follow these steps to generate a new copy of prism.js
:
- Open
js/prism.js
- Copy the URL in the comment of the first line of the file
- Paste it into a browser window/tab
- Add the new language that you wish to syntax highlight
- DO NOT change the other plugins, languages, or settings
- Download the generated JavaScript, and use it to replace
js/prism.js
- Download the generated CSS, and use it to replace
_sass/_prism.scss
Advanced stylization of code blocks
Do you want to highlight (make the background yellow) code inside a code block? Do you want to strike-through code inside a code block? We got that!
For syntax highlighting, plus yellow highlighting
and strike-through formatting, use the prettify
tag
with additional custom inline markup.
If you want to highlight a specific bit of code, use the
[[highlight]]highlight this text[[/highlight]]
syntax
with the prettify
tag.
For example:
{% prettify dart %} void main() { print([[highlight]]'Hello World'[[/highlight]]); } {% endprettify %}
If you want to strike-through a specific bit of code, use the
[[strike]]highlight this text[[/strike]]
syntax
with the prettify
tag.
For example:
{% prettify dart %} void main() { print([[strike]]'Hello World'[[/strike]]); } {% endprettify %}
The prettify
plugin will also unindent your code.
If you want to see how this functionality was added to this site, refer to this commit.
Including a region of a file
You can include a specific range of lines from a file:
{% include includelines filename=PATH start=INT count=INT %}
PATH
must be inside of _include
. If you are including source code,
place that code into _include/code
to follow our convention.
Code snippet validation
The code snippets in the markdown documentation are validated as part of the build process. Anything within a '```dart' code fence will be extracted into its own file and checked for analysis issues. Some ways to tweak that:
- If a code snippet should not be analyzed, immediately proceed it with
a
<!-- skip -->
comment - To include code to be analyzed, but not displayed, add that in a comment
immediately proceeding the snippet (e.g.,
<!-- someCodeHere(); -->
) - A snippet without any import statements will have an import
(
'package:flutter/material.dart'
) automatically added to it - We ignore special formatting tags like
[[highlight]]
.
Updating the Sample Catalog
The sample catalog's markdown files are generated by running sample_page.dart from the Flutter github repo. Starting from the root of the Flutter repo:
cd examples/catalog
dart bin/sample_page.dart '<commit hashcode here>'
cp examples/catalog/.generated/*.md <your website repo>/catalog/samples
The generated markdown files will contain cloud storage links for sample app screenshots. Screenshots for each sample app are automatically generated for each Flutter repo commit. Choose a recent commit hashcode and confirm that the screenshots look OK.
If new sample apps have been added, update _data/catalog/widget.json
. The entry for each widget class that's featured in a sample app should contain "sample"
line like:
"sample": "ListView_index",
The sample_page.dart
app will print a list of all of the "sample"
properties that should appear in the widget.json
file.
Preventing broken links
Some form of broken links prevention is done automatically by rake checklinks
on every commit (through tool/travis.sh
). But this won't see any Firebase
redirects (rake checklinks
doesn't run the Firebase server) and it won't
check incoming links.
Before we can move the more complete
automated linkcheck
solution
from dartlang.org, we recommend manually running the following.
-
First time setup:
pub global activate linkcheck npm install -g superstatic
-
Start the localhost Firebase server:
superstatic --port 3474
-
Run the link checker:
linkcheck :3474
Even better, to check that old URLs are correctly redirected:
linkcheck :3474 --input tool/sitemap.txt
