Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Gatsby Developer Documentation Theme

This Gatsby Theme is for building up easy to contribute to developer documentation and runbooks for your softwre projects. It has a bunch of useful plugins already hacked together to work and let's you quickly get moving with a simple looking theme. This is still pretty fresh, and there are many opportunities for us to work together to make it even better.

Quick Start

mkdir my-site
cd my-site
yarn init
# install gatsby-theme-devdoc and it's dependencies
yarn add gatsby react react-dom gatsby-theme-devdoc

Then add the theme to your gatsby-config.js.

module.exports = {
  // optionally, set your site metadata to use the default title and description
  siteMetadata: {
    title: "DevDoc",
    description: "Use this site to communicate the details of your API",
    author: "@garoyeri",
  },
  plugins: [
    // include the devdoc theme
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-theme-devdoc`,
      options: {},
    },
    // include the pages and images so that you can load images that are stored in the pages folder
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-source-filesystem`,
      options: {
        name: `pages`,
        path: `${__dirname}/src/pages`,
      },
    },
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-source-filesystem`,
      options: {
        name: `images`,
        path: `${__dirname}/src/images`,
      },
    },
    // optionally, set a plugin manifest for PWA
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-manifest`,
      options: {
        name: "gatsby-theme-devdoc-example",
        short_name: "DevDoc Example",
        start_url: "/",
        background_color: "#07C",
        theme_color: "#07C",
        display: "browser",
        icon: "src/images/gatsby-icon.png", // This path is relative to the root of the site.
      },
    },
  ],
};

That's it, you can now run your gatsby site using

yarn gatsby develop

Note that this site doesn't do anything, so you're see a missing resources error. Create a MDX (Markdown) page as src/pages/index.mdx, and set the frontmatter title.

Theme Components and Features

This theme has a lot of built-in components that developers tend to use when documenting their code.

SwaggerUI

Swagger UI is built-in as a React component that you can include in your developer pages.

File: src/pages/api-example.yml

openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  version: 1.0.0
  title: Sample API
  description: A sample API to illustrate OpenAPI concepts
paths:
  /list:
    get:
      description: Returns a list of stuff              
      responses:
        '200':
          description: Successful response

File: src/pages/api.mdx

---
title: Open API
---

import ApiSpec from './api-example.yml'

<SwaggerUI spec={ApiSpec} docExpansion="list" />

Diagrams

The theme uses Mermaid to generate rich diagrams using a markdown-ish syntax.

File: src/pages/diagrams.mdx

---
title: Open API
---

​```mermaid
graph RL
 subgraph Workspace: Pulse CX Insights
 A(Report:<br />Pulse CX Insights) --> B((Dataset:<br />Pulse CX Insights))
 B --> C{{Dataflow:<br />Pulse Database}}
 B --> E[(Data Source:<br />appFigures)]
 C --> F[(Data Source:<br />Pulse Database)]
 end
```

Mathematical Symbols and Formulas

This doesn't work yet ... but we'll get there.

Adding Images

For images, just add them to the same folder as the markdown file and link to it normally in the Markdown content.

Source Code Formatting

PrismJS is included with support for a lot of languages. You can look up the short name for your favorite language and specify it in the backtick set.

Theming and Styling

This theme uses ThemeUI to style the components. By default, it uses the base preset and makes some customizations. You can override the entire theme by creating a file in your project at src/gatsby-plugin-theme-ui/index.js and returning a preset or custom ThemeUI Theme.

Using the "shadowing" feature (more details here), you can also override other components of the DevDoc theme. For example, if you want to add more stuff to the header of the site, create a React component at src/gatsby-theme-devdoc/components/header-content.js and it will replace the header content with your own.

Acknowledgements

Most of this came together from the plugins and documentation on the GatsbyJS site. There are a ton of examples and plugins that we're taking advantage of here to build up this easy way to setup developer documentation.

The main structure of the layout and some components for it came directly from the ThemeUI documentation site which I thought was super slick and I liked. It's a great example of a lot of cool Gatsby and Theme UI features.
