Web Fundamentals

Web Fundamentals is a technical documentation center for multi-device web development. Our goal is to build a resource for modern web developers that’s as curated and thorough as developer.android.com or iOS Dev Center.

In this repo (which is the fork of google/WebFundamentals) we are going to focus on a hebrew translation for WF. Please feel free to ping me and join this effort.

Content plan

Content plan for Web Fundamentals is tracked through GitHub Issues and our Site Structure + Content Inventory doc

Release status

The project was soft launched in late April with a formal v1 launch in June 2014. We've now moved to a six-week rolling release cycle.

Technology

This is a Jekyll build.

/src
  /appengine - the server to host the static content
  /site - the documentation
    /_en/ - the base language folder
      /getting-started - the getting started articles
      /multi-device-layouts - responsive design guide
      /introduction-to-media - the guide to using media
      /optimizing-performance - the perf articles
      /using-touch - managing touch
      /showcase - the case-studies
    /_langcode/ - overrides for that language, following the main path structure.

/build is never checked in but generated by Jekyll.

Installing Dependencies

Mac

  1. Install XCode Command Line Tools
  2. Install RVM
    • curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash
  3. Set RVM Default to 2.0.0
    • rvm install ruby-2.0.0-p451
    • rvm --default use 2.0.0
  4. Install Pygments
    • easy_install pygments
  5. Install RubyGems dependencies (Jekyll, Kramdown, Sass and Compass)
    • cd src/ && bundle install
  6. Install Node.js
  7. Install the Grunt CLI
    • npm install -g grunt-cli
  8. Install npm dependencies
    • cd src/ && npm install

Running the site

Once you have all the dependencies installed go to the root of the checked out repo and type:

make server

This will have Jekyll build the site, run a static server to listen on port 8081 (which you can now reach at http://localhost:8081/web/fundamentals/), and watch for changes to site files. Every change will cause Jekyll to rebuild the affected files.

Using project-level meta data

The table of contents is generated from src/site/_project.yaml

To parse the _project.yaml file, include {% injectdata content _project.yaml %} in the page. You then have access to the variables in the page object.

Generating Table of Contents

The table of contents is generated from src/site/_book.yaml

To parse the _book.yaml file, include {% injectdata content _book.yaml %} in the page and then iterate as follows:

 {% for section in page.content.toc %}
    SOME MARKUP
 {% endfor %}

Jekyll Special elements

  • Code import: {% highlight javascript %} {% include sample1.js %} {% endhighlight %}
  • {{ articles _category_}} a list of articles in divs, ordered by the "order" preamble.
  • {{ showcases _category_}} a list of showcases.

Translations

The base content is in english under the "_en" directory. Translations can be added following the same structure with either a two letter or composite language code: e.g. "_es", "_pt-br".

To test translations set the lang variabe in the _config.yml. For example, to set the mode to French:

lang: "fr"

Note the underscore is not required here.

To ensure the content is built when being released onto developers.google.com, ensure that the langs_available list in _config-devsite.yml is updated to include any new language directories being added. For example, to add French:

langs_available: ["fr"]
