Ionic Docs

This is the home for the v4+ Ionic Framework docs.

Developing

Install dependencies by running npm install and then start the development server with npm run dev. Note that you'll need recent versions of npm (5.8+) and Node (8+).

Editing

The docs content is written as markdown and lives in src/content. The content directory maps directly to routes on the site. (src/content/intro.md -> /docs/intro) In lieu of a style guide, temporarily, please refer to existing docs for examples of preferred style.

Directory Structure

The repo consists of three main top-level directories: scripts, server, and src. The scripts/ directory holds build scripts for fetching and generating API reference docs from other Ionic repositories. You should not need to change it. The server/ directory holds the source for the production server. The src/ directory contains the main Stencil app's components and styles.

Content

Markdown content living in src/content/ is mapped to routes based on the file path. So, a markdown document at src/content/intro.md is available on the docs site at /docs/intro. Reference content, such as API and CLI docs, is sourced from separate repos and should be edited there.

Sources

Much of the content is sourced from external repos, each in sources/. To pull this in and generate the missing pages, run the command: npm run docgen. To generate a specific section, add framework, cli, native, components, or storage after the the docgen command. For example npm run docgen native.
