Start your review here 👉 [docs/README.md](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/FW-6107/docs/README.md) ## What is the current behavior? Documentation files with information on how to contribute, component implementations, testing, etc. are scattered throughout various folders in this repository. ## What is the new behavior? Consolidates the documentation files into a root `docs/` directory for easier discovery and organization. `/docs` tree: ``` ├── _config.yml ├── component-guide.md ├── CONTRIBUTING.md ├── README.md ├── sass-guidelines.md ├── angular │ ├── README.md │ └── testing.md ├── core │ ├── README.md │ └── testing │ ├── README.md │ ├── api.md │ ├── best-practices.md │ ├── preview-changes.md │ └── usage-instructions.md ├── react │ ├── README.md │ └── testing.md ├── react-router │ ├── README.md │ └── testing.md ├── vue │ ├── README.md │ └── testing.md └── vue-router ├── README.md └── testing.md ``` **Migrates the following:** | Previous Location | New Location | | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | `.github/COMPONENT-GUIDE.md` | `docs/component-guide.md` | | `.github/CONTRIBUTING.md` | `docs/CONTRIBUTING.md` | | `core/scripts/README.md` | `docs/core/testing/preview-changes.md` | | `core/src/utils/test/playwright/docs/api.md` | `docs/core/testing/api.md` | | `core/src/utils/test/playwright/docs/best-practices.md` | `docs/core/testing/best-practices.md` | | `core/src/utils/test/playwright/docs/README.md` | `docs/core/testing/README.md` | | `core/src/utils/test/playwright/docs/usage-instructions.md` | `docs/core/testing/usage-instructions.md` | | `packages/angular/test/README.md` | `docs/angular/testing.md` | | `packages/react-router/test/README.md` | `docs/react-router/testing.md` | | `packages/react/test/README.md` | `docs/react/testing.md` | | `packages/react/test/base/README.md` | `docs/react/testing.md` | | `packages/vue/test/README.md` | `docs/vue/testing.md` | **Adds the following:** | File | Description | | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `docs/sass-guidelines.md` | Sass Variable guidelines taken from `ionic-framework-design-documents` | | `docs/README.md` | Entry file that should link to all other files | | `docs/_config.yml` | Config file for use with GitHub pages | | `docs/core/README.md` | Description of core, links to contributing and testing | | `docs/angular/README.md` | Description of angular, links to contributing and testing | | `docs/react/README.md` | Description of react, links to contributing and testing | | `docs/react-router/README.md` | Description of react-router, links to contributing and testing | | `docs/vue/README.md` | Description of vue, links to contributing and testing | | `docs/vue-router/README.md` | Description of vue-router, links to contributing and testing | | `docs/vue-router/testing.md` | Testing file for vue-router, populated from vue-router's main README | **Does not** add any files for `angular-server`. This is because the README is essentially empty and there is no testing in that directory. I can add blank files if we want to have something to add to later. **Does not** migrate the content of the packages' root `README.md` files. These files are used for their npm package descriptions so we should not edit them. ## Hosting Documentation We can (and should) host these files using GitHub Pages. I have duplicated them in a personal repository to see how this would look: [docs-consolidation](https://brandyscarney.github.io/docs-consolidation/). Doing so will require some formatting fixes (see [Sass Guidelines](https://brandyscarney.github.io/docs-consolidation/sass-guidelines.html#-reusable-values)) so I did not publish them now but we can easily enable GitHub pages by toggling a setting in this repository. ## Other information - Verify that no documentation files were missed in the migration - You can use these commands to search for `*.md` files in a directory: - `find core/src -type f -name "*.md" -print` - `find packages/angular -type f -name "*.md" -not -path "**/node_modules/*" -print` - I did add some redirect links in some of the existing markdown files so they might still exist for that reason - We should probably break up the contributing + component guide documentation into smaller files, such as including best practices, but I wanted to get everything in the same place first - The contributing has sections on each of the packages that we could move to that package's docs folder: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/main/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#core --------- Co-authored-by: Maria Hutt <thetaPC@users.noreply.github.com>
