This PR changes the syntax highlighting theme we use in the docs. The
reason for the change is that the previous theme we used didn't have
sufficient color contrast between its comment strings and its
background.
## Options
I decided to use the Oceanic Next color theme that is included with
docusaurus. Looking through, the only other dark theme that also passed
AA contrast checks was VS Dark. The reason I picked Oceanic over VS Dark
is simply that I like it better.
For demonstration, here's what the Oceanic theme looks like:
And here's the VS Dark theme:
## Bonus change
The PR also includes a fix to render a pricing admonition correctly.
It's not related to the PR, but I noticed it rendered incorrectly while
I was working on it.
This PR updates the docs to clarify that we don't support multi-host
strings in the databaseUrl configuration variable.
The docs used to just mention that we accept libpq strings, but as
reported in #3221, we **don't** support multi-host strings.
I did some digging and found that this is because [node-postgres -- the
library we use to connect to postgres -- itself does not support
multi-host
strings](https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/issues/2308).
To fix this, we would need to replace the library we use or otherwise
wrap it. While this would be a better long-term solution, we don't have
the capacity to it right now. But we can update the docs to better
reflect reality.
## About the changes
- Updates the segment information on top to be clearer - No longer an
experimental feature, but we do have some limits in place;
- Also updates the documentation to better reflect this;

This change does two things:
It clarifies that the permissions listed in the guide are permissions
needed to perform all the steps in the guide, and not the permissions
needed to create a feature.
Separates the project-level and environment-level permissions needed
into separate sublists.
This change updates the "change requests permissions" section of the
change request doc to explicitly call out a few things we've seen
confusion around recently.
These are:
- project owners can't approve/apply change requests. You must create
custom roles
- viewers can create change requests. This is intentional
- skip change requests only works via the API
It also:
- elaborates a little on the circumventing change requests section to
clarify how it works.
- adds the change requests project roles to the project roles list. This
section should be kept up to date with all the relevant roles that exist
for projects.
## About the changes
Documentation about feature toggle variants per environment
## Discussion points
The version when this will be available is still to be defined.
---------
Co-authored-by: Thomas Heartman <thomas@getunleash.ai>
## What & why
This update does three things:
1. Adjusts the environment cloning feature availability notice: because
this has been released.
2. Updates the availability notice for environments (to conform with the
standard docusaurus way of doing things): for consistency
3. Add a brief explanation of environment types: because this isn't
documented anywhere
## Sources
The note about how environment types work is sourced from this old
[slack thread (internal to the
team)](https://unleash-community.slack.com/archives/G01MU2Q49QC/p1659600175175769)
This PR expands upon the docs in the original PR (and thus supersedes #3139)
It contains the docs for the recent network view feature.
Closes#2603

## What
Adds environment variable equivalents for remaining authentication
options.
Also reformats the list silghtly.
## Why
Because the `AUTH_TYPE` and `AUTH_ENABLE_API_TOKEN` variables hadn't
been previously mentioned and we get questions about this from time to
time.
The reformat is primarily for using `monospace font` where appropriate.
## What
This change removes the "unleash proxy" column from the SDK compat
table.
## Why
Because the proxy isn't technically an SDK. Having the column there can
be misleading to users.
In the latest case, a user pointed out that the table says the proxy
supports `isEnabled` with fallback values, but that there is no way to
use this via the API (or via client-side sdks) at the moment.
I think we should add a section to the proxy doc about its capabilities
instead.
In fact, I think we should do the same thing with the proxy that we did
with the SDKs: merge the docs.getunleash content with the github readme
and instead source it from there.
## About the changes
This makes response time with app names enabled for everyone but also
kept a way of turning it off (kill switch) in case it cause some issues
because of misconfigured app names
## What
This PR adds a note to the constraint and the segment docs about using a
large number of constraint values.
## Why
This is a fairly common question in slack, and there is no clear
documentation around this at the moment. As such, it's likely that
people do this a fair bit without telling us. We don't think this is the
right approach, so adding this bit of documentation should hopefully
make it a little clearer.
## What
The main purpose of this PR is to
1. Delete the proxy docs in this repo and replace them with the proxy's
GitHub readme.
2. Add the docs for Unleash Edge.
### Detailed change description
This PR contains a lot of small changes in a large number of files. To
make it easier to get an overview, here's a detailed description of what
happens where:
#### In the `website/docs`directory
Except for the deletion of the proxy doc, all changes in this directory
are rewriting internal links, so that they point to the newly generated
document instead.
#### `package.json` and `yarn.lock`
When including the documentation for Edge, we also want to render the
mermaid diagrams it uses. Docusaurus supports this via a plugin. All
changes in these files are related to installing that plugin.
#### `docusaurus.config.js`
There's two types of changes in this file:
1. Mermaid-related changes: we ask docusaurus to render mermaid in
markdown files and add the plugin
2. Document generation. There's some rewrites to the sdk doc generation
plus an entirely new section that generates docs for Edge and the proxy
#### `sidebars.js`
Two things:
1. Add the edge docs
2. Move both the Edge and the proxy docs up a level, so that they're
directly under "reference docs" instead of nested inside "unleash
concepts".
#### In the `website/remote-content` directory
These are the remote content files. Previously, all of this lived only
in a `readme-fns.js` file, but with the introduction of Edge and proxy
docs, this has been moved into its own directory and refactored into
three files (`shared`, `sdks`, `edge-proxy`).
#### `custom.css`
Style updates to center mermaid diagrams and provide more space around
them.
#### In `static/img`
The image files that were included in the proxy doc and that have been
deleted.
## Why
For two reasons:
1. Reduce duplication for the proxy. Have one source of truth.
2. Add docs for edge.
## Discussion points and review wishes
This is a big PR, and I don't expect anyone to do a line-by-line review
of it, nor do I think that is particularly useful. Instead, I'd like to
ask reviewers to:
1. Visit the [documentation
preview](https://unleash-docs-git-docs-source-proxy-gh-unleash-team.vercel.app/reference/unleash-proxy)
and have a look at both the proxy docs and the Edge docs. Potentially
have a look at the SDK docs too to verify that everything still works.
2. Consider whether they think moving the proxy and edge docs up a level
(in the sidebar) makes sense.
3. Let me know what slug they'd prefer for the Edge docs. I've gone with
`unleash-edge` for now (so that it's
`docs.getunleash.io/reference/unleash-edge`), but we could potentially
also just use `edge`. WDYT?
4. Read through the detailed changes section.
5. Let me know if they have any other concerns or questions.

#2942

## What
This change updates the "variants" section of the Anatomy of Unleash
document with more information about how variants work with multiple
environments.
At the moment, it states that variants per env are GA from 4.21, but
that might need to be changed.
## Why
With the upcoming release of variants per environment, the doc should
reflect the current state of things. However, it should also still
contain info for those not yet on v4.21
## What
This change updates the docker compose instructions to match what is
currently in the Unleash/unleash repo itself.
## Why
Because the old version was out of date.
## What
Delete static client-side SDK docs in favor of generating them at
build time.
- Add a separate list of `clientSideSdks` to `readme-fns`.
- Use sdk type to determine which generation directory it goes into
- Replace manual sidebar category with autogenerated one
## Why
This does the same for client-side SDKs as was done for server-side
SDKs in https://github.com/Unleash/unleash/pull/2858
(Supersedes #2859)
## What
This change adds instructions on how to use the front-end API for
client-side SDKs to the quickstart guide. It also organizes the content
so that this info is presented before the proxy info.
## Why
The front-end API is easier to use, so it should be preferred over the
proxy for people who are just getting started.
## What
This change removes a notice from the proxy documentation saying that
users should reach out to support@getunleash.io if they want the Unleash
team to host it.
## Why
Unleash ships with the front-end API now, so we don't want people
reaching out to support for this anymore.
This change adds the change requests explainer video to the change
requests reference documentation.
As a bonus, it also cleans up some redundant whitespace.
This PR builds on the preceding doc auto-generation PRs and generates
documentation for the remaining server-side SDKs.
## Why
Refer to https://github.com/Unleash/unleash/pull/2809 for more context
about generating SDK docs.
## What
- Adds generation for the remaining server-side SDKs
- Moves generated docs from the `/reference/sdks` directory to
`/generated` directory.
- Makes sure that the URLs do not change because of the move by using
the `slug` frontmatter property.
- replaces relative github links in the markdown documents so that they
become absolute github links. (refer to the next section)
- Updates some image styling so that it doesn't apply to readme badges
(we don't need them using `display: block`)
### On link replacing:
This PR adds handling of links in the generated documentation.
Specifically, it changes links in one case:
Relative links to github. Links to code and other files in the
repository. These are prefixed with the repository's URL.
While this should work in most cases, it will fail in cases where the
links to the files are not on the repository's primary branch.
(typically main, but could also be "v3", for instance). In these cases,
the links will get a double branch in the URL and will fail. However, I
see no easy way around this (though suggestions are definitely
accepted!), and think it's a fair tradeoff. It takes the links from
"definitely failing" to "will work in the vast majority of cases".
Note: I originally also wanted to handle the case where the link is an
absolute link to docs.getunleash.io. We could turn these into relative
urls to avoid full page reloads and enjoy a smoother experience.
However, the client-side redirects don't work correctly if the relative
URL goes to a redirect page, so you end up with a 404 page. As such, I
think it's better to leave the links as absolute for now.
With the release of 4.19, the info box at the top was outdated. It's been updated to reflect the current situation. References to 4.18 in the body have also been updated.

# PR 1: add remote content plugin and rust readme
## What
This PR does a few connected things:
1. It adds the ["docusaurus-plugin-remote-content" package](https://github.com/rdilweb/docusaurus-plugin-remote-content).
2. It adds configuration to make it work with Readmes found on GitHub.
3. It adds the Rust SDK's readme (replacing the link we used to have) as a proof of concept on how to do it.
## Why
With documentation split between GitHub readmes and the official docs, it's hard to keep everything up to date and in sync. It's also quite confusing that some information is only available in some places, but not in others.
We've talked about auto-including readmes from GitHub for a while, so here's a proof of concept (finally) 🥳
The intention is to get this merged and then to migrate the other SDK docs one by one, ensuring that everything in the documentation is also in the readme (so that no info is lost).
## Discussion points
### Generation directory
The current generation method generates the files into `/reference/sdks/<sdk name>`. I think this works for now, but it means it adds auto-generated files into a directory that you can't ignore (at least not yet).
We could instead generate them into `/generated/sdks` and update the slugs so that they still match the expected pattern.
However, this would make the sidebar a little harder to work with (for now). That said, there may be ways around it. It's worth exploring.
### Generation method
By default, this plugin will generate files whenever you build. That (probably) means that you need an internet connection _and_ that you'll end up with a bunch of untracked files.
An option is to only generate the files "manually" and commit them to the repo. That would allow you to build the project without an internet connection and would also remove the need for ignoring the files. We could automate the generation if we wanted to.
## Preview / Screenies

# PR 2: add go readme
This PR changes the docs generation to use the Go SDK's GitHub readme
for the SDK docs instead of a separate document.
## What
The changes in this PR are:
- Delete the existing Go SDK documentation. All the content in this
guide already exists in the Go readme.
- Add the Go SDK to the list of auto-generated readme docs
- Move the readme-related code into a separate module, `readme-fns.js`
(I'm not bullish about the file name: we can change it if you have
suggestions)
- Add a note to the top of all generated readmes saying you'll need an
API url and an API token. The note also links you to the relevant
reference and how-to docs.
## Why
Having two different bits of documentation for the same SDK is
troublesome. By only having the data in one place, we can avoid it going
out of sync and getting stale.
We have experienced side-effects where the import was unexpected and
resulted in environments thought to be removed. This had the unexpected
side-effect of also deleting API keys for some environments not part of
the import file.
This commit removes the ability of the state-service to mutate api keys
directly. There is no compelling reasons why we should remove API keys
as part of an import query.

## What
This change updates some places in the docs where we use the terms
"login" and "logout" incorrectly.
A "login" is a noun, typically referring to the set of credentials you
need to _log in_ to a service. The verb form, the act of signing in, is
written in two words: to "log in".
A similar logic applies to "logout" and "log out", although I don't find
the term "logout" in my dictionary. However, I think it makes sense to
talk about "logout requests" (and I see references to logout in other
services and documentation), so I'm happy to use that as a noun.
Regardless, the act of logging out is to "log out".
This change fixes some broken links in the "about the docs" document.
Most of these links go to concrete documents and have been replaced with
their appropriate relative file links. The few links that go to
auto-generated pages have been corrected.
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an easy way to link safely to
generated pages.
## What
This change does two things:
It **removes the `environment` option** from the initialization
examples. This option is deprecated and only causes confusion. There's
no good reason to have it lying around in the examples.
It also **updates the explanation of the code samples**, telling you
that you need to generate an API key and linking you to the reference
doc and how to guide.
Relates to: #2782.
