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
│   ├── 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

@ionic/angular

Ionic Angular specific building blocks on top of @ionic/core components.

Testing ng-add in ionic

  1. Pull the latest from main
  2. Build ionic/angular: npm run build
  3. Run npm link from ionic/angular/dist directory
  4. Create a blank angular project
ng new add-test
// Say yes to including the router, we need it
cd add-test
  1. To run schematics locally, we need the schematics-cli (once published, this will not be needed)
npm install @angular-devkit/schematics-cli
  1. Link @ionic/angular
npm link @ionic/angular
  1. Run the local copy of the ng-add schematic
$ npx schematics @ionic/angular:ng-add

You'll now be able to add ionic components to a vanilla Angular app setup.

Project Structure

common

This is where logic that is shared between lazy loaded and standalone components live. For example, the lazy loaded IonPopover and standalone IonPopover components extend from a base IonPopover implementation that exists in this directory.

Note: This directory exposes internal APIs and is only accessed in the standalone and src submodules. Ionic developers should never import directly from @ionic/angular/common. Instead, they should import from @ionic/angular or @ionic/angular/standalone.

standalone

This is where the standalone component implementations live. It was added as a separate entry point to avoid any lazy loaded logic from accidentally being pulled in to the final build. Having a separate directory allows the lazy loaded implementation to remain accessible from @ionic/angular for backwards compatibility.

Ionic developers can access this by importing from @ionic/angular/standalone.

src

This is where the lazy loaded component implementations live.

Ionic developers can access this by importing from @ionic/angular.
