Welcome to the repo for the Vectara API Documentation! This documentation is built with Docusaurus 2 and is hosted at docs.vectara.com
For anything other than minor changes, clone the repository onto your local machine and build the documentation locally. It's often helpful to see the changes you make live.
Before executing the following commands, please ensure you are in the www/
directory.
First, install dependencies:
$ npm install
You can run the app on your machine by issuing the following command.
$ npm run start
This command starts a local development server and open up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.
After you've validated the content looks correct, please run the following once:
$ npm run build
This command generates static content into the build
directory and can be
served using any static contents hosting service. Importantly, it will do
things like link checking to ensure all of the links are valid.
Once you've got the updates in a good shape, feel free to submit a pull request!
$ npm run gen-api-docs
This will regenerate docs/rest-api from the static/vectara-oas.yaml file. Note that this only regenerates a subset of files, and files need to be manually deleted before they're regenerated. To regenerate all files, delete all existing files in that directory except for:
$ npm run serve
This serves the "build" directory at: http://localhost:3000/. This is useful for mimicking the behavior of a production server.
When code/new docs are merged to the main
branch on GitHub, the entire repo
will automatically be deployed within a few minutes to
docs.vectara.com
