= Neo4j GraphQL Library
This repo contains the documentation for the Neo4j GraphQL Library.
== Prereqs
== Installation
To install the required packages:
== Generating HTML output
To convert asciidoc source to HTML:
== Viewing HTML output
To view the built site, launch a local server:
npm startlocalhost:8000== Live preview
When you run npm start, the project is monitored for updates to asciidoc files.
If a change to an asciidoc file is detected the site is automatically rebuilt.
== Generating asciidoc source files
If you are creating new documentation from scratch, creating all the asciidoc files can be time-consuming. This repo contains a script that you can use to save time by generating skeleton asciidoc files from your navigation.
To use the script, first create your navigation file, or files if your doc set has more than one component. To use the script, all navigation files should have the filename content-nav.adoc.
Then, to create the asciidoc source files, run npm run adoc-gen.
For every file that is included as a list item entry in a content-nav.adoc file, an asciidoc file is created in the location specified.
For example, if modules/ROOT/content-nav.adoc includes +++* xref:installation/introduction.adoc[]+++, a file is created at modules/ROOT/pages/installation/introduction.adoc.
The file contents consist of a comment to indicate that the file was generated by the script, and a top level title element. If title text is specified in the entry in the navigation file, that value will be used for the title in the generated file. If no title text is specified, the default title text is taken from the filename, formatted with sentence capitalization.
== Configuring your project
You'll need to update the following for your project
=== antora.yml
name: - replace docs-template with the name of the project as it will appear in the URL https://neo4j.com/docs/title: - the title of the manual, for example Getting Started Guide, Cypher Manual. This value is displayed in the breadcrumbs above each page.version: - the version of the content that is generated from the branch containing this antora.yml file.Optionally, you can add the following attributes:
display_version: - Use this attribute when you want the version that is displayed in your content and in the UI to be different from the version that appears in the URL. For example, you might want to use /2.0/ in URLs, but display the version as 2.0-beta in the version selector drop-down.prerelease: - if you publish multiple versions of this project, you can mark a version as being a prerelease, by adding prerelease: true. The content is published alongside the other versions, but does not appear in the drop-down version selector, and is not included when Antora is calculating the default (or 'latest') version in order to resolve links between pages. For more information, see link:https://docs.antora.org/antora/latest/component-prerelease/[Antora // Docs -> Identify a Prerelease Version]=== preview.yml
Antora uses a link:https://docs.antora.org/antora/latest/playbook/[playbook] to determine what content is included in a site, and the appearance of that content.
In our projects, we use preview.yml as the default playbook name.
Update the start_page attribute to match the value of the name attribute in your antora.yml file.
Update the information for the sitemap extension:
antora: extensions:
The link:https://www.npmjs.com/package/@neo4j-antora/antora-modify-sitemaps[`antora-modify-sitemaps] Antora extension generates sitemaps for Neo4j docs that include information about the current release only, and makes sure those sitemaps are included in the right output folder when the HTML is built. In this example, a sitemap file would be generated at _build/site/docs-template/1.0/sitemap.xml_. Change the value ofsitemap_versionto the 'current' release version of your project. For example, Neo4j manuals such as the Getting Started Guide or Cypher Manual use 4.4 as their current version, so for those manuals this is set assitemap_version: '4.4`.
=== [Optional] Add an 'Edit this page' link
If your repo is public, you can add an Edit this page link to your pages to encourage external contributors, and to provide a quick way for users to suggest changes.
Update the following attribute in your playbook:
=== [Optional] Add a 'preview' note to each page
When we publish preview content to either development or production environments, we prepend an admonition to every page to make it clear that this is preview content, for example, as in link:https://neo4j.com/docs/graph-data-science/2.0-preview/[Graph Data Science 2.0-preview].
You can use the link:https://www.npmjs.com/package/@neo4j-antora/antora-add-notes[antora-add-notes] extension to add content to your pages. Follow the Usage instructions in the package documentation.
