Brandy Carney b315b0cb29 chore(docs): consolidate the developer resource files into a docs/ directory (#29266)
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

│   └── 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

React Router Testing

Ionic Framework supports multiple versions of React Router. As a result, we need to verify that Ionic works correctly with each of these React Router versions.

Syncing Local Changes

The React test app supports syncing your locally built changes for validation.

  1. Build the @ionic/core, @ionic/react, and @ionic/react-router projects using npm run build.
  2. Build the React test app.
  3. Navigate to the built test app.
  4. Install dependencies using npm install.
  5. Sync your local changes using npm run sync.

From here you can either build the application or start a local dev server. When re-syncing changes, you will need to wipe the build cache in node_modules/.cache and restart the dev server/re-build.

Test App Build Structure

Unlike other test applications, these test apps are broken up into multiple directories. These directories are then combined to create a single application. This allows us to share common application code, tests, etc so that each app is being tested the same way. Below details the different pieces that help create a single test application.

apps - This directory contains partial applications for each version of React we want to test. Typically these directories contain new package.json files, cypress.config.ts files, and more. If you have code that is specific to a particular version of React, put it in this directory.

base - This directory contains the base application that each test app will use. This is where tests, application logic, and more live. If you have code that needs to be run on every test app, put it in this directory.

build - When the apps and base directories are merged, the final result is put in this directory. The build directory should never be committed to git.

build.sh - This is the script that merges the apps and base directories and places the built application in the build directory.

Usage:

# Build a test app using apps/reactrouter5 as a reference
./build.sh reactrouter5

How to modify test apps

To add new tests, components, or pages, modify the base project. This ensures that tests are run for every tested version.

If you want to add a version-specific change, add the change inside of the appropriate projects in apps. Be sure to replicate the directory structure. For example, if you are adding a new E2E test file called test.e2e.ts in apps/reactrouter5, make sure you place the file in apps/react17/tests/e2e/test.e2e.ts.

Version-specific tests

If you need to add E2E tests that are only run on a specific version of the JS Framework, replicate the VersionTest component on each partial application. This ensures that tests for framework version X do not get run for framework version Y.

Adding New Test Apps

As we add support for new versions of React Router, we will also need to update this directory to test against new applications. The following steps can serve as a guide for adding new apps:

  1. Navigate to the built app for the most recent version of React Router that Ionic tests.
  2. Update the application to the latest version of React Router.
  3. Make note of any files that changed during the upgrade (package.json, package-lock.json, etc).
  4. Copy the changed files to a new directory in apps.
  5. Add a new entry to the matrix for test-react-router-e2e in ./github/workflows/build.yml. This will allow the new test app to run against all PRs.
  6. Commit these changes and push.
