## 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 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Also removes old OpenAPI files that are out of date and redundant with the new generation.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Links to the heroku instance are also outdated because we don't have that instance running anymore.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 change updates the details used for the doc search integration we use.
## Why
Algolia has migrated to a new doc search platform. The old credentials
still work, but the crawlers stopped working months ago. This is why
new articles don't show up in the search at all.
This update _should_ allow us to update our indices and get search
working properly again.
* #1391: add generated doc cleaning script
## What
The cleaning script replaces all references to the Unleash ushosted instance in the
generated OpenAPI docs. It removes extra path segments (such as leading
`/ushosted` instances) and replaces the ushosted base url with something
user-agnostic.
## Why
When we host the OpenAPI docs in our official documentation, the generated
docs shouldn't necessarily point at _one specific instance_, and especially
not one that the reader is unlikely to ever use. Instead, we can remove all
the bits that are specific to the generation source we use, and make the docs
easier to use. In particular, removing the leading `/ushosted` is likely to
save us loooots of questions.
* #1391: change env var used for generating openapi from localhost
Using NODE_ENV=development doesn't necessarily make sense, so adding
an extra variable sounds reasonable to me.
* #1391: ensure that all generation commands also clean docs
* #1391: change <your-unleash-instance-url> to <your-unleash-url>
* #1391: fix ushosted replacement: not all paths start with /api
* #1391: chore: remove potential `ushosted` ending of api url
In the event that we change the base URL of OpenAPI, so that paths
don't start with `/ushosted/`, the script should still work, changing
those paths into <your-unleash-url> too.
Additionally, remove all instances of `/ushosted` that we find. In the
event that some things switch around or whatever.
## What
This PR (finally 🎉) adds generated OpenAPI docs to the official Unleash documentation. In addition to generating docs when things get merged to main, it also pushes new doc updates every day at 12:00 AM (cron `@daily`).
## Why
Now that we have OpenAPI'd all the things, we can finally start using it. This will allow us to remove hand-written api docs from the documentation and should make sure everything is always kept up to date.
### Generating from us-hosted (Unleash enterprise)
Unleash has several different versions (open source, pro, enterprise). The versions do not necessarily have the exact same api surface. In fact, the enterprise version has a few endpoints that open source does not.
Because we want to have _all_ endpoints listed in the documentation we need to generated the docs from an enterprise spec. Which brings us into the next point:
### The need for scheduled jobs
Regarding the daily scheduled tasks to update the documentation: why do we need that?
The docs are generated from the tip of the main branch. For most of the docs, this is good and something that we want. However, because the OpenAPI docs are generated from the enterprise edition, it _will not be in sync_ with the open source main branch.
Also, we probably do not want the docs to list the current bleeding edge api changes. Instead, we should prefer to use the latest enterprise release (roughly). However, because we don't get notified when this version is released and deployed, we'll instead run the API generation on a daily cadence.
This isn't the perfect solution, but it's simple and gets us 80% of the way there. More intricate solutions can be set up later.
## How
- By adding a scheduled workflow to the generate docs config.
- By adding .gitignore entries for the generated files
There's also some minor changes in styling etc.
## Dependencies
This is dependent on the changes introduced in #2062 having propagated to the enterprise release, which will probably not be for another week or so.
## Discussion
What should the API reference docs url be? I've set it to be `/reference/api/unleash/*` for now, but I'm on the fence about whether it should be `apis` or `api` in there. I also want to get the proxy and other APIs in there as we grow.
