# AEP Site Generator

## Overview

The AEP Site Generator takes in all of our documentation from multiple
repositories and generates the AEP website.

The site generator is made of multiple parts:

- A CI workflow
- A generator script that reads the various repos + converts their
documentation to formats supported by Starlight
- A (very standard) [Starlight](https://starlight.astro.build) website.

## Generator

The generator script reads documentation from all of the repos and writes files
for Starlight to read.

At a high level, the generator script writes out Markdown / MDX (Markdown with
React added) files to src/content/docs for Starlight to read. It also generates
various JSON files in generated/ to build the sidebar and other config.

## 🚀 Starlight Project Structure

```
.
├── public/
├── scripts/
│ ├── generate.ts
├── src/
│ ├── assets/
│ ├── content/
│ │ ├── docs/
│ │ └── config.ts
│ └── env.d.ts
├── astro.config.mjs
├── package.json
└── tsconfig.json
```

Starlight looks for `.md` or `.mdx` files in the `src/content/docs/` directory. Each file is exposed as a route based on its file name.

Images can be added to `src/assets/` and embedded in Markdown with a relative link.

Static assets, like favicons, can be placed in the `public/` directory.
