A website with Brazilian Portuguese expressions. Content licensed under the

## Expressions format

Expressions are created as Markdown files, using Jekyll's [Front Matter](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/front-matter/)

YAML metadata. This is the current schema of an expression Markdown file.

```yaml

---

layout: expression

category: a # This is the letter collection name, values are a-z, and 0 for numerical 

title: "A gente chamando siri de meu bife" # This is the expression and page title

permalink: "/a/a+gente+chamando+siri+de+meu+bife/" # This is the expression permanent link

variations:

  - no aperto siri é bife

alternate_spellings: # An array of other (mis)spellings for this expression

  - agente chamando siri de meu bife

definitions: # An array of definitions for this expression

  - definition: | # Definition value, here is a multi-line YAML entry

      Its translation would be "We calling crab of my steak". It is used when you are in a situation

      where you are struggling, especially financially. In which case, you would consider a crab as

      good as an expensive steak.

    example: | # Examples of the expression in Portuguese (title and here are only places where PT-BR is used)

      - Ofereceram até a mala branca.

      - Se vocês ganharem do Flamengo tem um bichinho por fora...

      - **A gente chamando siri de meu bife**, uma fase ruim....

    synonyms:

      - urubu em guerra é frango

    created: "2020-04-18T18:56:00" # Date of the creation of the entry

    author: "kinow" # Author nickname

    images: # An array of images for this expression

      - urubu1.gif # This file must exist at /assets/images/expressions/{expression.permalink}/urubu1.gif

    videos: # An array of videos for this expression

      - title: Soccer program "Boleiragem", where Zé do Carmo uses this expression # Video display name

        link: https://youtu.be/S1H4Y8alLmo?t=1269 # Video link (in this case the link has the time parameter)

---

```

It is a good practice to escape special characters in frontmatter — as seen in the `expressions` files. There are several ways to do that, one of them is using [this website](https://r12a.github.io/app-conversion/).

1. Paste the expression in the "Characters" box.

2. In the "JS/Java/C" box, the "ES6" checkbox should be unticked.

3. Copy the result of that box into your file.

## Build

```bash

$ bundle install

$ bundle exec jekyll serve -w --incremental

```

GitHub Actions are used to build and deploy the site and to update the search index.

Dependabot is also used to scan for vulnerabilities and updates.

## Deploy

Pushing to GitHub is the only requirement to update the site. We have a GitHub action that publishes

the site when a commit is pushed to the `master` branch. It also takes care to update the Algolia

search index.

To update the search index locally, the following example command can be used:

```bash

$ bundle exec jekyll build && ghp-import -p -r origin -b gh-pages _site/ && ALGOLIA_API_KEY=$ALGOLIA_KEY bundle exec jekyll algolia

```
