# Gatsby Starter with Docz

A [GatsbyJS](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/) starter with support for [Docz](https://www.docz.site/).

This starter is forked from [gatsby-starter-default](https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-default).

Live Demos:

- Gatsby site: https://gatsby-starter-docz.netlify.com/
- Docz site: https://gatsby-starter-docz-docz.netlify.com/

## Description

Writing good documentation is important for your project maintainers (and for your future self!). A very nice documentation generator is [Docz](https://www.docz.site). 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](https://github.com/gatsbyjs/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.

For more information about writing documentation with Docz, consult their official [guide](https://www.docz.site/introduction).

## Deploying the documentation

To build the documentation, run

```
npm run docz:build
```

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

## Contributing

To contribute, follow the usual workflow on GitHub. A great guide is available [here](https://github.com/asmeurer/git-workflow). 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 https://github.com//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 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.
