Content

You can find content for Setu docs in /content folder

Repo structure of /content folder

• Each category is a folder with products as sub-folders and content files inside product folders.
• All content files are MDX
• endpoints.json - Object with categories and products in Setu docs
• redirects.json - key-value pairs contains information about redirecting from one slug to another
• menuItems.json contains fully nested object for the docs sidebar (DO NOT TOUCH)

Content editing guide

Create a new branch and raise a PR for every edit you want to make to the documentation.

To edit any page, you can either,

• clone this repo in your local and edit using VS Code
• or just press . after logging into GitHub to open online VS Code

Cloning and editing in local is faster due to virtual workspace in online VS Code

Go through this detailed guide on how to write content

Install VS code extensions

For easy syntax higlighting, VSCode MDX

• Install this extension from marketplace.
• or you can install in VS Code by the extensions tab in the leftside bar or press Shift + Cmd/Ctrl + X and search for MDX

For documentation preview, Docter Preview

• Install this extension from marketplace.
• You can install in VS Code by the extensions tab in the leftside bar or press Shift + Cmd/Ctrl + X and search for Docter Preview

Preview

Using the Docter Preview extension, we can preview content and sidebar changes. Please go through the README to learn about the features and follow the steps mentioned to use it.

API references

You can find API reference spec files for Setu docs in /api-reference folder

Repo structure of /api-references folder

• Each category is a folder with products as API reference spec files in JSON or YAML format.
• All API reference files are in JSON or YAML format

Editing and viewing

You can now use Setu's pre-built editor to preview API references. Visit the preview page, copy your content and generate an API reference preview.

Currently this only works for JSON files. Support for YAML is WIP and should be available soon.

Versioning

To add versions to any product in our docs, these steps need to be followed:

Update endpoints.json

Go to endpoints.json, add the following key-value pairs inside the product object

• versions - an array of strings with the all the possible versions
• default_version - a version string which denotes the default version to load on docs

Example:

{
    "name": "Account Aggregator",
    "path": "account-aggregator",
    "order": 4,
    "versions": ["v1", "v2"],
    "default_version": "v2",
    "visible_in_sidebar": true
}

In future if there is a new version, v1.5 which is not a default version,

We need to add v1.5 to the versions array

Update content

To update content for a product based on the versions,

• Existing content in the root of product folder corresponds to the default version documentation. You can make changes to it.
• Create a new folder with older version and add content of previous version

Example:

In case of Account Aggregator, if you see the product folder,

• the files in the root correspond to version v2 as it is the default version.
• there is a folder v1 which corresponds to the older version documentation. Put all the v1 documentation into this folder.

└── ...

In future if there is a new version, v1.5, which is not a default version,

We need to add a folder v1.5 and add contents of that version into it.

Update API reference

To update API references based on versions,

• In API reference folder, {product}.json corresponds to the default version mentioned
• Create a new file with name in the format, {product}_{version}.json. Here version denotes the verion other other than default_version

Example:

In case of Account Aggregator, in api-references folder,

• account-aggregator.json corresponds to the default version v2
• account-aggregator_v1.json corresponds to a version other than default version, v1

└── ...

In future if there is a new version, v1.5 which is not a default version,

We need to add a file account-aggregator_v1.5.json and add API reference into it
