Versioning
You can use the version
script to cut a new documentation version based on the latest content in the docs
directory. That specific set of documentation will then be preserved and accessible even as the documentation in the docs
directory changes moving forward.
Cum să creezi versiuni noi
Run the following script to generate a starter versions page listing all the site versions:
yarn examples versions
This creates the pages/en/versions.js
file.
You can edit this file, later on, to customize how you display the versions.
Add the following script to your package.json
file if it doesn't already exist:
...
"scripts": {
"version": "docusaurus-version"
},
...
Run the script with a command line argument of the version you wish to create. e.g.,
yarn run version 1.0.0
This will preserve all documents currently in the docs
directory and make them available as documentation for version 1.0.0
.
If, for example, you ran the version script with 1.0.0
as the version number, version 1.0.0
is considered the latest release version for your project. The site will display the version number next to the title in the header. This version number links to a versions page that you created earlier.
Documents in the docs
directory will be considered part of version next
and they are available, for example, at the URL docs/next/doc1.html
. Documents from the latest version use the URL docs/doc1.html
.
Running the script again with yarn run version 2.0.0
will create a version 2.0.0
, making version 2.0.0
the most recent set of documentation. Documents from version 1.0.0
will use the URL docs/1.0.0/doc1.html
while 2.0.0
will use docs/doc1.html
.
This table below summarizes Docusaurus versioning at a glance:
Version | Tag | URL |
---|---|---|
1.0.0 | 1.0.0 | docs/1.0.0/doc1.html |
1.0.1 | 1.0.1 | docs/1.0.1/doc1.html |
2.0.0 | current | docs/doc1.html |
master branch | next | docs/next/doc1.html |
Tipare de versionare
You can create version numbers in whatever format you wish, and a new version can be created with any version number as long as it does not match an existing version. Version ordering is determined by the order in which versions are created, independently of how they are numbered.
Fișiere de stocare pentru fiecare versiune
Versioned documents are placed into website/versioned_docs/version-${version}
, where ${version}
is the version number you supplied the version
script.
The markdown header for each versioned doc is altered by renaming the id front matter field to original_id
, then using "version-${version}-${original_id}"
as the value for the actual id
field.
Versioned sidebars are copied into website/versioned_sidebars
and are named as version-${version}-sidebars.json
.
A website/versions.json
file is created the first time you cut a version and is used by Docusaurus to detect what versions exist. Each time a new version is added, it gets added to the versions.json
file.
If you wish to change the documentation for a past version, you can access the files for that respective version.
Funcționalitate Fallback
Only files in the docs
directory and sidebar files that differ from those of the latest version will get copied each time a new version is specified. If there is no change across versions, Docusaurus will use the file from the latest version with that file.
For example, a document with the original id doc1
exists for the latest version, 1.0.0
, and has the same content as the document with the id doc1
in the docs
directory. When a new version 2.0.0
is created, the file for doc1
will not be copied into versioned_docs/version-2.0.0/
. There will still be a page for docs/2.0.0/doc1.html
, but it will use the file from version 1.0.0
.
Because of the way this fallback works, pages that you delete are not really deleted from the website unless you tell Docusaurus to skip fallback after a certain version. To do this, use the deletedDocs
option in siteConfig.js
.
Redenuming versiunile existente
To rename an existing version number to something else, first make sure the following script is in your package.json
file:
...
"scripts": {
"rename-version": "docusaurus-rename-version"
},
...
Run the script with command line arguments of first, the current version name, then second, the new version name. e.g.,
yarn run rename-version 1.0.0 1.0.1
Versionări și Traduceri
If you wish to use versioning and translations features, the crowdin.yaml
file should be set up to upload and download versioned documents to and from Crowdin for translation. Translated, versioned files will go into the directory translated_docs/${language}/version-${version}/
. For more information, check out the translations guide.
