Solid Docs

Welcome to Solid's documentation!

This is the repo for docs.solidjs.com. This repo contains all the source code that we use to build our docs.

What is Solid?

Solid is a JavaScript framework used for building high-performance user-interfaces. Using a reactive approach and component-based architecture, we want to empower developers in creating efficient and scalable web applications.

Running the Site Locally

At the moment, we recommend running the site locally through either CodeSandbox, Gitpod, or StackBlitz. These are the quickest and easiest way to browse and edit the project files and run the site locally.

The app uses pnpm as the package manager and it runs on Node.js v18+.

Install dependencies:

pnpm i

And run the local dev server:

pnpm dev

This will start your the app at localhost:3000 or the next available port.

Collections and virtual modules

The builds an Astro inspired collection navigation, it will bring all routes and generate a couple of files at /.solid. These files are exposed to your app via Vite virtual modules. This task is perform via our sync script (pnpm sync), ran before every build.

If changes are made to the navigation (new entry, or repositioning entry), it is necessary to restart the server for changes to take effect.
