# Updating the docs
|
|
|
|
If you want to open a PR on the Cosmos SDK to update the documentation, please follow the guidelines in the [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](https://github.com/cosmos/ethermint/tree/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#updating-documentation)
|
|
|
|
## Translating
|
|
|
|
- Docs translations live in a `docs/country-code/` folder, where `country-code` stands for the country code of the language used (`cn` for Chinese, `kr` for Korea, `fr` for France, ...).
|
|
- Always translate content living on `master`.
|
|
- Only content under `/docs/intro/`, `/docs/basics/`, `/docs/core/`, `/docs/building-modules/` and `docs/interfaces` needs to be translated, as well as `docs/README.md`. It is also nice (but not mandatory) to translate `/docs/spec/`.
|
|
- Specify the release/tag of the translation in the README of your translation folder. Update the release/tag each time you update the translation.
|
|
|
|
## Docs Build Workflow
|
|
|
|
The documentation for Ethermint is hosted at https://docs.ethermint.zone/
|
|
|
|
built from the files in this (`/docs`) directory for
|
|
[master](https://github.com/cosmos/ethermint/tree/master/docs).
|
|
|
|
### How It Works
|
|
|
|
There is a CircleCI job listening for changes in the `/docs` directory, on
|
|
the `master` branch. Any updates to files in this directory
|
|
on that branch will automatically trigger a website deployment. Under the hood,
|
|
the private website repository has a `make build-docs` target consumed by a CircleCI job in that repo.
|
|
|
|
## README
|
|
|
|
The [README.md](./README.md) is also the landing page for the documentation
|
|
on the website. During the Jenkins build, the current commit is added to the bottom
|
|
of the README.
|
|
|
|
## Config.js
|
|
|
|
The [config.js](./.vuepress/config.js) generates the sidebar and Table of Contents
|
|
on the website docs. Note the use of relative links and the omission of
|
|
file extensions. Additional features are available to improve the look
|
|
of the sidebar.
|
|
|
|
## Links
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** Strongly consider the existing links - both within this directory
|
|
and to the website docs - when moving or deleting files.
|
|
|
|
Relative links should be used nearly everywhere, having discovered and weighed the following:
|
|
|
|
### Relative
|
|
|
|
Where is the other file, relative to the current one?
|
|
|
|
- works both on GitHub and for the VuePress build
|
|
- confusing / annoying to have things like: `../../../../myfile.md`
|
|
- requires more updates when files are re-shuffled
|
|
|
|
### Absolute
|
|
|
|
Where is the other file, given the root of the repo?
|
|
|
|
- works on GitHub, doesn't work for the VuePress build
|
|
- this is much nicer: `/docs/hereitis/myfile.md`
|
|
- if you move that file around, the links inside it are preserved (but not to it, of course)
|
|
|
|
### Full
|
|
|
|
The full GitHub URL to a file or directory. Used occasionally when it makes sense
|
|
to send users to the GitHub.
|
|
|
|
## Building Locally
|
|
|
|
Make sure you are in the `docs` directory and run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rm -rf node_modules
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command will remove old version of the visual theme and required packages. This step is optional.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install the theme and all dependencies.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn run serve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run `pre` and `post` hooks and start a hot-reloading web-server. See output of this command for the URL (it is often [https://localhost:8080](https://localhost:8080)).
|
|
|
|
To build documentation as a static website run `yarn run build`. You will find the website in `.vuepress/dist` directory.
|
|
|
|
## Search
|
|
|
|
We are using [Algolia](https://www.algolia.com) to power full-text search. This uses a public API search-only key in the `config.js` as well as a [cosmos_network.json](https://github.com/algolia/docsearch-configs/blob/master/configs/cosmos_network.json) configuration file that we can update with PRs.
|
|
|
|
### Update and Build the RPC docs
|
|
|
|
1. Execute the following command at the root directory to install the swagger-ui generate tool.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make tools
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Edit API docs
|
|
1. Directly Edit API docs manually: `client/lcd/swagger-ui/swagger.yaml`.
|
|
2. Edit API docs within the [Swagger Editor](https://editor.swagger.io/). Please refer to this [document](https://swagger.io/docs/specification/2-0/basic-structure/) for the correct structure in `.yaml`.
|
|
3. Download `swagger.yaml` and replace the old `swagger.yaml` under fold `client/lcd/swagger-ui`.
|
|
4. Compile gaiacli
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make install
|
|
```
