## Problem

Our API docs are generated from a specfile that is hosted in
https://us.app.unleash-hosted.com/ushosted

By default the API docs UI will show that URL, which we don't want

## Previously

We ran a find-and-replace after the mdx files were generated with
`replace-in-file`

## Now

The previous solution is no longer possible because the openapi plugin
changed. Basically, before it generated markdown files that looked like
this:

```
# Create API Key

https://unleash-hosted/whatever

bla bla bla
```
Now it generates files that do not contain the URL and look like this:

```
import MethodEndpoint from "@theme/ApiExplorer/MethodEndpoint";
import ParamsDetails from "@theme/ParamsDetails";

<Heading
  as={"h1"}
  className={"openapi__heading"}
  children={"Configure project access"}
>
</Heading>
```
which themselves get compiled.

## Solution

This PR now downloads the specfile, makes a local copy, then an alters
the server URL in the copy, then uses that local file to generate the
docs.

I didn't want to make any changes to the actual spec logic because this
essentially just a plugin quirk

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus 2, a modern static website generator.

Installation

In a terminal, cd into the website folder of the locally cloned unleash repository and then start the installation.

cd unleash/website
yarn install

Generate OpenAPI docs

yarn generate

Generate the Open API docs that live at Reference documentation > APIs > OpenAPI

Local Development

Before running the docs the first time, you'll need to generate external documentation, as described in the generate OpenAPI docs section.

yarn start

Start a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Cleaning dependencies and caches

If you're upgrading many dependencies, it's always good to delete the node_modules directory, refresh yarn.lock and clean the various caches.

rm -rf node_modules
rm -rf .docusaurus
rm -rf docs/reference/api/unleash
rm -rf yarn.lock
touch yarn.lock

Troubleshooting

`TypeError: source_default(...).bold is not a function`

If you get an error like this, it's probably due to a formatting issue within one of the markdown files. It could be

unescaped angle brackets (markdown will try to parse <your-key> (when it's not quoted) as HTML, which breaks the build)
incorrectly formatted titles or missing pieces of files
a lot of other stuff.

TypeError: source_default(...).bold is not a function
[ERROR] Unable to build website for locale en.

This error is very hard to debug, but there is a trick that appears to work (as shared in this discussion on docusaurus' repo):

In node_modules/@docusaurus/core/lib/client/serverEntry.js, remove all references to chalk. You can use a regex replace for that, by replacing chalk(\w|\.)+ with the empty string.

Depending on your editor, that regex might need more escapes. For instance, here's a command to run with evil-ex in Emacs:

%s/chalk\(\w\|\.\)+//g

For macOS sed, it'd be:

sed -i '' 's/chalk\(\w\|\.\)\+//g' node_modules/@docusaurus/core/lib/client/serverEntry.js

For GNU sed:

sed -i 's/chalk\(\w\|\.\)\+//g' node_modules/@docusaurus/core/lib/client/serverEntry.js

That might turn your error into something like this:
