unleash.unleash/website/README.md

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.

Deployment

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

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:
