Getting started

Prerequisites

Git
Node: install version 6.2.2 or greater. Node v8 would be ideal.
Yarn: See Yarn website for installation instructions.
A fork of the repo (for any contributions).
A clone of the react-native-website repo.
Docusaurus: Run yarn global add docusaurus-init or npm install --global docusaurus-init
Prettier: See Prettier website for installation instructions.

Installation

cd react-native-website to go into the project root.
cd website to go into the website portion of the project.
yarn to install the website's npm dependencies (or npm install, if not using Yarn).

Running locally

yarn start to start the development server (powered by Docusaurus) (or npm start, if not using Yarn).
open http://localhost:3000/ to open the site in your favorite browser.

Overview

If you're here because you would like to contribute an edit or addition to the docs, you'll probably want to take a look at the 'docs/' directory.

To edit the internals of how the site is built, you may want to get familiarized with how the site is built. The React Native website is a static site generated using Docusaurus. The website configuration can be found in the 'website/' directory. Visit the Docusaurus website to learn more about all the avaible configuration options.

Documentation sources

As mentioned above, the 'docs/' folder contains the source files for all of the docs in the React Native website. In most cases, you will want to edit the files within this directory. If you're adding a new doc or you need to alter the order the docs appear in the sidebar, take a look at the 'sidebars.json' file in the 'website/' directory. The sidebars file contains a list of document ids that should match those defined in the header metadata (aka frontmatter) of the docs markdown files.

Versioned docs

The React Native website is versioned as to allow users to go back and see the API reference docs for any given release. A new version of the website is generally made whenever there is a new React Native release. When this happens, any changes made to the 'docs/' and 'website/sidebars.json' files will be copied over to the corresponding location within 'website/versioned_docs/' and 'website/versioned_sidebars/'.

Do not edit the auto-generated files within 'versioned_docs/' or 'versioned_sidebars/' unless you are sure it is necessary. Edits made to older versions will not be propagated to newer versions of the docs.

Docusaurus keeps track of the list of versions for the site in the 'website/versions.json' file. The ordering of the versions in this file should be in reverse chronological order.

Cutting a new version

cd react-native-website to go into the project root.
cd website to go into the website portion of the project.
Run yarn version <version> where <version> is the new version being released.

Website configuration

The main config file for the website can be found at 'website/siteConfig.js'. This file tells Docusaurus how to build the website. Edits to this file are rarely necessary.

The 'pages/' subdirectory contains the React components that make up the non-documentation pages of the site, such as the homepage.

The 'showcase.json' file contains the list of users that are highlighted in the React Native showcase.
