Embedding code

Your actions for adding a code sample to the documentation may vary depending on the scenarios described in this document.

Table of contents generated with markdown-toc

The _code directory

This directory contains the source code which is embedded into the pages of the spine.io site. There are two sub-directories under the _code:

  • examples — contains examples selected from the repositories under spine-examples organization. These repositories added to this project as Git submodules.
  • samples — smaller pieces of code embedded to the site.

The Jekyll sub-command for embedding the code

We use the embed-code Jekyll subcommand for adding the source code to Markdown pages. The tool allows inserting or updating a source code snippet using the specific instructions added to a Markdown page.

Please read the embed-code documentation to familiarise with the syntax.

Referencing existing code

Just follow instructions from the embed-code guide.

Adding a new small piece

  1. Add the code under _code/samples/src directory.
  2. Make sure tests for the new code pass.
  3. Add the new piece using the embed-code guide.

Adding a new example project

  1. Make sure the project you're going to add has a top-level buildAll Gradle task.

    See the build of the Hello Example for the declaration of such a task. This task must present in both single- and multi-module Gradle example projects that are going to be used for embedding into this site.

    If you are interested in the details on why the buildAll task is needed, please see the buildAll task from the build.gradle.kts of this project for the links to discussions of the problem of building composite builds, and the solution we use.

  2. Add the example code as a submodule for this project:

    git submodule add https://github.com/spine-examples/<example-name> _code/examples/<example-name>

    Please make sure the new submodule goes under the _code/examples directory, as shown in the command line template above.

  3. Include the build of the added project into the settings.gradle.kts file.

After these steps you can embed the code into the pages of the site.
