This is a VuePress documentation application that leverages GitHub as the repository of documentation. The repository is currently hosted in the Zumasys GitHub and the app is available at Zumasys Docs. The documentation was created by way of HelpJuice-to-Markdown. Search functionality is provided by Algolia DocSearch which crawls the documentation every 24 hours for updating and indexing. The application itself is built and deployed as a static site hosted on Azure Storage via a GitHub action.

To run the application locally:

You will need to have Node.js & npm installed. You'll also need Git.

1. git clone https://github.com/zumasys/docs.git

2. cd docs (or whatever name you used for your git clone)

3. cd site

4. npm install (Not necessary on subsequent builds)

5. To enable all features you'll need to set up environment variables. Create .env (for production) and .env.development (for development) files in the site folder. Use the .env.skel file as your baseline (for both production and development).

   • In order to configure Search with the Algolia DocSearch you'll need to add the appropriate credentials.

   cd site && code .env

   # Environment Variables
   VUE_APP_ALGOLIA_API_KEY=MyAPIKey
   VUE_APP_ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME=MyIndexName

   • Optionally, if you want the Vssue plugin to work you'll have to populate the following .env variables in the file from step 5.

   cd site && code .env

   # Environment Variables
   VUE_APP_GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=MyClientKey
   VUE_APP_GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=MySecretKey

6. npm run dev

7. When compilation completes you should see the following message

   success [12:25:41] Build 59cc58 finished in 75022 ms!
   VuePress dev server listening at http://localhost:8080/

8. Open localhost:8080 in your browser.
