Jekyll

We are using Jekyll to generate the static html files. https://jekyllrb.com

Requirements

• Ruby: brew install ruby
• Ruby Gems: https://rubygems.org/pages/download
• NoddeJS: https://nodejs.org/en/
• Python: brew install python
• gem install jekyll

Supporting Gems

These Gems were also installed on the CI server.

• gem install jekyll-paginate
• gem install classifier-reborn
• gem install jekyll-multiple-languages-plugin https://github.com/Anthony-Gaudino/jekyll-multiple-languages-plugin

Development

jekyll serve Will build to the _site directory whenever a file is changed and serve via 127.0.0.1

jekyll build --watch Will build to the _site directory whenever a file is changed.

Production Build

Production builds should be handled by CI.

i18n

Language variables are set in /_i18n/*.yml files.

Strings

To output a variable to a template use: {% t key %} or {% translate key %}

Files

i18n files can be saved in their corresponding directories under /_i18n/

To include a file use: {% tf pagename/blockname.md %} or {% translate_file pagename/blockname.md %}

Writing a Blog Post

Blog posts can be written in MarkDown (.md) or HTML (.html).

Posts need to be saved in the _posts directory and the filename must always start with YYYY-MM-DD-

For example: 2016-05-12-new-website.md

###Front matter The top page of every post should contain the following (Example):

author: perry
layout: post
image: /assets/images/2016/05/Node40-banner.jpg

description: Check out the new website for Node40
