# Website
This website is built using [Docusaurus 2](https://docusaurus.io/), 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.
```console
cd unleash/website
yarn install
```
## Generate OpenAPI docs
```console
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](#generate-openapi-docs) section.
```console
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
```console
yarn build
```
This command generates static content into the `build` directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.
## Deployment
```console
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.
```console
Component Figure was not imported, exported, or provided by MDXProvider as global scope
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](https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus/issues/7686#issuecomment-1486771382)):
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:
```shell
sed -i '' 's/chalk\(\w\|\.\)\+//g' node_modules/@docusaurus/core/lib/client/serverEntry.js
```
For GNU `sed`:
```shell
sed -i 's/chalk\(\w\|\.\)\+//g' node_modules/@docusaurus/core/lib/client/serverEntry.js
```
That might turn your error into something like this:
```console
