Gatsby Starter with Docz

A GatsbyJS starter with support for Docz.

This starter is forked from gatsby-starter-default.

Live Demos:

Description

Writing good documentation is important for your project maintainers (and for your future self!). A very nice documentation generator is Docz. It supports mdx files, which is short for Markdown with JSX. That means you can render React components in these special Markdown files. It can generate Prop tables and even provide a coding playground for your components!

That means you can show and document all your different Gatsby components in a nice and organised way.

Note: This starter generates the same default Gatsby site as if you just use gatsby-starter-default.

Known Limitations

This starter only works with React components not rendering any StaticQuery components from Gatsby. That means any component containing some kind of GraphQL logic cannot be rendered in your documentation files.

Getting Started

Assuming you have npx installed (that is the case if you are using version 5.2.0 or greater of npm), run

npx gatsby-cli new [GATSBY_PROJECT_NAME] https://github.com/RobinCsl/gatsby-starter-docz

You can then run the Gatsby site with

npm run develop

and you can go to http://localhost:8000 to see it.

You can also admire your generated documentation with

npm run docz:dev

It will be available at http://localhost:3000.

Showcasing the Header component from Gatsby

For more information about writing documentation with Docz, consult their official guide.

Deploying the documentation

To build the documentation, run

npm run docz:build

The resulting build is by default in .docz/dist.

Authors

Contributing

To contribute, follow the usual workflow on GitHub. A great guide is available here. A TL;DR is:

  • Clone the repository
    git clone https://github.com/RobinCsl/gatsby-starter-docz.git
    
  • Fork it to your personal account
  • Add your fork as a remote on the cloned repository
    git remote add <your username> https://github.com/<your username>/gatsby-starter-docz.git
    
  • Create your feature branch
    git checkout -b feature/adding-awesomeness
    
  • Commit your changes
    git commit -am 'Feat: Added awesomeness'
    
  • Push to the branch
    git push <your username> feature/adding-awesomeness
    
  • Create a new Pull Request through GitHub's interface.

Commit message convention

Commit messages should contain a proper description, once you open a PR it will be added automatically to the PR description.

Commit messages should be prefixed with one of the following to signify the kind of change:

  • Fix: bug fixes, e.g. fix some colors, paddings.
  • Feat: new features, e.g. add new component.
  • Refactor: code/structure refactor, e.g. new structure folder for components/ extracting component to separate file.
  • Docs: changes into documentation,
  • Test: adding or updating tests, e.g. unit, snapshot testing.
  • Chore: tooling changes, e.g. change circle ci config.
  • BREAKING: for changes that break existing usage, e.g. change API of a component.

To make this easier, please run the following command:

git config --local commit.template commit-template.txt

This will pre-fill your commit message with a template whenever you run git commit, reminding you to follow the convention and to add a summary.
