|
## Install
|
|
|
|
### PHP and Composer
|
|
|
|
If you have PHP and Composer installed, you can install the dependency
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
composer global require daux/daux.io
|
|
|
|
# Next to your `docs` folder, run
|
|
daux generate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then use the `daux` command line to generate your documentation.
|
|
|
|
If the command isn't found, ensure your `$PATH` contains `~/.composer/vendor/bin`
|
|
|
|
### Docker
|
|
|
|
Or if you wish to use Docker, the start of the command will be :
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run --rm -it -w /build -v "$PWD":/build -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" daux/daux.io daux
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Run on a server
|
|
|
|
Download this repository as a zip, unpack, and put your documentation in the `docs` folder, you can then serve it with Apache or Nginx.
|
|
|
|
## `daux`
|
|
|
|
The command line tool has two commands: `generate` and `serve`, running Daux.io without an argument will automatically run the `generate` command.
|
|
|
|
You can run `daux --help` to get more details about each command.
|
|
|
|
## Folders
|
|
|
|
By default, the generator will look for folders in the `docs` folder. Add your folders inside the `docs` folder. This project contains some example folders and files to get you started.
|
|
|
|
You can nest folders any number of levels to get the exact structure you want. The folder structure will be converted to the nested navigation.
|
|
|
|
If you'd prefer to keep your docs somewhere else (like outside of the daux.io root directory) you can specify your docs path in the `global.json` file.
|
|
|
|
## Files
|
|
|
|
The generator will look for Markdown files (`*.md` and `*.markdown`) inside the `docs` folder and any of the subfolders within `docs`.
|
|
|
|
You must use underscores instead of spaces. Here are some example file names and what they will be converted to:
|
|
|
|
**Good:**
|
|
|
|
* 01_Getting_Started.md = Getting Started
|
|
* API_Calls.md = API Calls
|
|
* 200_Something_Else-Cool.md = Something Else-Cool
|
|
* _5_Ways_to_Be_Happy.md = 5 Ways To Be Happy
|
|
|
|
**Bad:**
|
|
|
|
* File Name With Space.md = FAIL
|
|
|
|
## Sorting
|
|
|
|
To sort your files and folders in a specific way, you can prefix them with a number and underscore, e.g. `/docs/01_Hello_World.md` and `/docs/05_Features.md` This will list *Hello World* before *Features*, overriding the default alpha-numeric sorting. The numbers will be stripped out of the navigation and urls. For the file `6 Ways to Get Rich`, you can use `/docs/_6_Ways_to_Get_Rich.md`
|
|
|
|
## Landing page
|
|
|
|
If you want to create a beautiful landing page for your project, simply create a `index.md` file in the root of the `/docs` folder. This file will then be used to create a landing page. You can also add a tagline and image to this page using the config file like this:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"title": "Daux.io",
|
|
"tagline": "The Easiest Way To Document Your Project",
|
|
"image": "app.png"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: The image can be a local or remote image. Use the convention `<base_url>` to refer to the root directory of the Daux instance.
|
|
|
|
## Section landing page
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in having a landing page for a subsection of your docs, all you need to do is add an `index.md` file to the folder. For example, `/docs/01_Examples` has a landing page for that section since there exists a `/docs/01_Examples/index.md` file. If you wish to have an index page for a section without a landing page format, use the name `_index.md`
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
To customize the look and feel of your documentation, you can create a `config.json` file in the of the `/docs` folder.
|
|
The `config.json` file is a simple JSON object that you can use to change some of the basic settings of the documentation.
|
|
|
|
### Title
|
|
Change the title bar in the docs
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"title": "Daux.io"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Themes
|
|
We have 4 built-in Bootstrap themes. To use one of the themes, just set the `theme` option to one of the following:
|
|
|
|
* daux-blue
|
|
* daux-green
|
|
* daux-navy
|
|
* daux-red
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"html": { "theme": "daux-green" }
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### More options
|
|
Many other options are available:
|
|
- [Global options](http://daux.io/Configuration/index)
|
|
- [HTML Options](http://daux.io/Configuration/Html_export)
|
|
- [Confluence options](http://daux.io/Configuration/Confluence_upload)
|
|
|
|
## Running Remotely
|
|
|
|
Copy the files from the repo to a web server that can run PHP 7.2.0 or newer.
|
|
|
|
## Running Locally
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to run the docs locally.
|
|
The recommended way is to run `daux serve` which will execute PHP's embedded server.
|
|
|
|
By default the server will run at: <a href="http://localhost:8085" target="_blank">http://localhost:8085</a>
|
|
|
|
This is really only intended be used when you are writing/updating a ton of docs and want to preview the changes locally.
|
|
|
|
## Generating a set of static files
|
|
|
|
These can be uploaded to a static site hosting service such as pages.github.com
|
|
|
|
Generating a complete set of pages, with navigation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
daux --source=docs --destination=static
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running on IIS
|
|
|
|
If you have set up a local or remote IIS web site, you may need a `web.config` with:
|
|
|
|
* A rewrite configuration, for handling clean urls.
|
|
* A mime type handler for less files, if using a custom theme.
|
|
|
|
### Clean URLs
|
|
|
|
The `web.config` needs an entry for `<rewrite>` under `<system.webServer>`:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<configuration>
|
|
<system.webServer>
|
|
<rewrite>
|
|
<rules>
|
|
<rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true">
|
|
<match url=".*" />
|
|
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
|
|
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
|
|
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
|
|
</conditions>
|
|
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" appendQueryString="false" />
|
|
</rule>
|
|
</rules>
|
|
</rewrite>
|
|
</system.webServer>
|
|
</configuration>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use clean URLs on IIS 6, you will need to use a custom URL rewrite module, such as [URL Rewriter](http://urlrewriter.net/).
|
|
|
|
## PHP Requirements
|
|
|
|
Daux.io is compatible with the [officially supported](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php) PHP versions; 7.2.0 and up.
|
|
|
|
### Extensions
|
|
|
|
Daux.io needs the following PHP extensions to work : `php-mbstring` and `php-xml`.
|
|
|
|
If you encounter an error similar to `utf8_decode() not found` this means that you're missing the `php-xml` package.
|
|
|
|
