This repository contains the source code for the fossi-foundation.org website. The site is built using Nuxt and Nuxt Content and deployed to Netlify. Most content is written in Markdown for easier editing, with the full power of Vue available for advanced use cases.

To contribute content to the website you don't need any local development setup: edit any Markdown file in the content directory and open a pull request -- you'll get a preview build of the full website as part of the pull request.

You can add new Markdown files within the existing directories in content which will show up as sub-page without further configuration.

In addition to plain Markdown, you can make use of pre-defined components from the style guide using the MDC syntax. Look for existing pages using the :: syntax for inspiration.

To dive deeper into the website development you need a local development environment, either through a VS Code Dev Container, or through a native Node.js installation.

Make sure that you have installed the following tools on your local machine.

• Node.js 18 (LTS). Other versions of Node.js might work, but also break occasionally. Using a LTS version is strongly recommended.
• Yarn

yarn install

# Start the development server on http://localhost:3000
# (Setting HOST is not strictly required, but helps if the HOST environment
# variable has a strange value.)
HOST=localhost yarn dev

# Build the application for production:
yarn run build

# Locally preview production build:
yarn run preview

• Open with Visual Studio Code with "Dev Containers" extension installed.
• After opening the repo, it will ask you if you want to reopen in container, which you want.
• Run above commands or run debug target "server: nuxt"

The website design follows the the FOSSi Foundation style guide. Make sure that changes to the design are also reflected in the style guide, where necessary.

We use icons from Font Awesome Brands and Phosphor Icons. To keep the bundle size low all icons have to be explicitly imported in a template.

Here's an example.vue component:

<script setup>
import IconFabLinkedinIn from '~icons/fa6-brands/linkedin-in'
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <IconFabLinkedinIn/>
  </div>
</template>

You can use https://icones.js.org/collection/ph and https://icones.js.org/collection/fa6-brands to efficiently search for suitable icons.
