## 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.
## What
This change updates the availability notice in the SSO keycloak setup
guide.
## Why
Because the notice still said that it's an "upcoming" feature, but it
was released in 4.18.
## What
This PR contains two small doc updates/fixes:
1. Update the availability notice on SSO syncing to indicate that it has
been released.
2. Add a note to the Import API description that importing environments
will make Unleash delete API keys belonging to those environments.
## Why
1. To keep the docs up to date.
2. Because this behavior surprised (and rightly so, I'd say) a user, who
then suddenly had all their SDKs unable to connect.
Co-authored-by: Nuno Góis <github@nunogois.com>
## What
This PR contains a number of minor fixes to the docs in terms of
formatting and redirects. The changes are:
- Adding an availability notice for the front-end API reference docs
(with links to the release blog post).
- Fix malformed admonition headers in the Unleash proxy docs and
impression data docs.
- Add missing redirects:
- `/advanced/custom_activation_strategy` ->
`/reference/custom-activation-strategies`
- `/docs/deploy/configuring_unleash` ->
`/reference/deploy/configuring-unleash`
- `/docs/user_guide/connect_sdk` -> `/reference/sdks`(this one goes to
the SDKs doc instead of the quickstart because there's more
comprehensive information there and because `/user_guide/connect_sdk`
already goes there)
- `/sdks/proxy-javascript` -> `/reference/sdks/javascript-browser`
- `/sdks/proxy-react`-> `/reference/sdks/react`
- `/docs/getting_started` -> `/tutorials/quickstart` (this does not go
to "Deploy: getting started" because that is its own link)
## Why
Because keeping the docs up to date and accessible is important.

This PR puts our contributing guidelines in the sidebar of the unleash
documentation. Currently there was no way of navigating to them easily,
which made our contribution guides and ADRs less useful. This PR adds
them to the sidebar as their own category, and adds an ADR for domain
centric language.

* This PR adds a configurable maxAge header to the CORS middleware. This
allows the preflight request to be cached so that we can reduce the
request load on our end for the frontend clients starting to utilise the
frontend api.
This change updates the proxy API illustration with the correct payload. It also adds a caption to better explain what is going on (and to make it more accessible).

## What
This (admittedly massive) PR updates the "physical" documentation
structure and fixes url inconsistencies and SEO problems reported by
marketing. The main points are:
- remove or move directories : advanced, user_guide, deploy, api
- move the files contained within to the appropriate one of topics,
how-to, tutorials, or reference
- update internal doc links and product links to the content
- create client-side redirects for all the urls that have changed.
A number of the files have been renamed in small ways to better match
their url and to make them easier to find. Additionally, the top-level
api directory has been moved to /reference/api/legacy/unleash (see the
discussion points section for more on this).
## Why
When moving our doc structure to diataxis a while back, we left the
"physical' files lying where they were, because it didn't matter much to
the new structure. However, that did introduce some inconsistencies with
where you place docs and how we organize them.
There's also the discrepancies in whether urls us underscores or hyphens
(which isn't necessarily the same as their file name), which has been
annoying me for a while, but now has also been raised by marketing as an
issue in terms of SEO.
## Discussion points
The old, hand-written API docs have been moved from /api to
/reference/api/legacy/unleash. There _is_ a /reference/api/unleash
directory, but this is being populated by the OpenAPI plugin, and mixing
those could only cause trouble. However, I'm unsure about putting
/legacy/ in the title, because the API isn't legacy, the docs are. Maybe
we could use another path? Like /old-docs/ or something? I'd appreciate
some input on this.
We're in the process of moving how-to guides into the how-to folder,
where they belong. This continues that work and shifts the how to guides
for SSO to the correct place and gives them appropriate names

## What
This change updates the description of when impression events are
fired to clarify that impression events are **not** fired in front-end
SDKs if the toggle is enabled.
It also adds a 'caution' admonition repeating this information with
some more info on why.
## Why
We've had a couple questions about this as it hasn't been clearly
stated before. Additionally, I, as a member of the team and the
original author of this document, thought that impression
events **did** fire for disabled toggles in the front-end.
As such, I consider this to be unexpected and different from what was
originally written.
## What
This change updates the availability notice and the code samples in the
import/export docs.
Specifically, the code samples have been moved to using the ApiRequest
component (and thus get examples in HTTP, cURL, and HTTPie), and the
import code sample now says which version it's using (version 3).
## Why
The import code sample didn't say which version of the data it used, so
Unleash would assume it was version 1 if you tried to run it. However,
the actual data was incompatible with the v1 data format, so you'd get
an error if you tried to actually import it.
While fixing this, I figured it'd also be alright to add some other
minor updates to bring the docs a bit more up to recent standards.
## About the changes
Prometheus metrics should not be exposed to the public. Added a note about this to inform people that internal endpoints should be dropped on external access.

## What
This PR removes or updates references in the docs to Heroku. Most of the code samples have been replaced with a more generic `unleash.example.com` url, while other references have been removed or updated.
Also removes old OpenAPI files that are out of date and redundant with the new generation.
## Background
Come November and Heroku will no longer offer free deployments of Unleash, so it's about time we remove that claim.
Links to the heroku instance are also outdated because we don't have that instance running anymore.
Finally, the OpenAPI files we do have there are old and static, so they don't match the current reality.
## Commits
* Meta: update ignore file to ignore autogenerated docs
I must've missed the ignore file when looking for patterns.
* docs: delete old openapi file.
This seems to have been a holdover from 2020 and is probably
hand-written. It has been superseded by the new autogenerated OpenAPI docs.
* docs: add notes for heroku changes to the frontend readme and pkg
* docs: remove old openapi article and add redirects to new openapi
* docs: fix link in overview doc: point to GitHub instead of heroku
* docs: update quickstart docs with new heroku details
* docs: remove reference to crashing heroku instance
* docs: remove references to herokuapp in code samples
* docs: add a placeholder comment
* docs: update references for heroku updates
* docs: keep using unleash4 for enterprise
* docs: remove start:heroku script in favor of start:sandbox
* docs: remove 'deploy on heroku button'
Now that it's not free anymore (or won't be very shortly), let's
remove it.
* docs: remove extra newline
## What
This PR
1. adds a new topic document, "The Anatomy of Unleash", which explains
how Unleash is built up as a system.
2. It also moves the "topic guides" sidebar entry from position 4 to
position 2.
3. Finally, it introduces a new `Figure` component for the
documentation, to be used with images that should be shown with
captions.
## Why
Referring to the same numbers as mentioned above, here's some background
for these changes:
1. We have gotten requests from enterprise users for a way to help new
Unleash users understand the system. Together with customer success and
customer journey, we agreed that an explanatory guide would be suitable.
It aims to give the reader an introduction into what pieces constitute
the Unleash system.
2. As part of a discussion, it was suggested to move topic guides higher
up to make them more visible. There's a few reasons for this:
1. New users of Unleash should be able to keep reading about Unleash
after the basic introductory material. When left at the bottom, topic
guides are often overlooked
2. As a justification, it was proposed that reference docs are often the
last thing you look for, so it makes sense to put that last.
3. Thinking about a new user's flow, it also makes some sense: first
read introductory material, then dive deeper into what Unleash is and
what you can use it for, then look for how-to guides if you're stuck,
and finally consult the reference material for later.
3. These diagrams aren't necessarily very self-explanatory, so adding a
caption makes a lot of sense. We didn't have a component from this
previously, so I added one.
