Project folder structure and purpose

This repo is based on Nextjs framework, so many of folder are reflecting framework requirements. Here is the quick look of the main folders:

  • public - Next.js uses this directory to statically serve files like the robots.txt or the favicon.ico and other assets. Since this page is using markdown, it's also use to store all blog post assets
  • src/api - API related clients and helper functions
  • src/assets - assets (like icons, images) for regular pages
  • src/components - sharable components across the website.
  • src/components/mdx - components used while converting markdowns elements to HTML. You can find mapping in index.tsx
  • src/consts - constants variables shared across the app
  • src/content - this is where markdown files lives
  • src/contextProviders - React contexts and it's providers
  • src/hooks - sharable React hooks
  • src/layouts - React components responsible for page layouting
  • src/pages - Nextjs pages that reflects public pages url
  • src/theme - theme and styles related stuff. Also extension for ChakraUi which is the default user interface library
  • src/typings - Typescript typings
  • src/utils - Sharable pure function used across the app
  • src/views - React components which are used as "blocks" for the pages.

Redirects

For SEO purpose it's highly recommended to add redirect for pages that no longer exist but was indexed by google. Go to next.config.js file and add proper redirect there. For more info check out the documentation https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next.config.js/redirects

Styleguide

Styleguide page is divided into two general parts:

  1. The top sections contains all the static style guide elements ( they are not supposed to be edited frequently ). It's more of the official part of this page.
  2. Miscellaneous section, where you can put all the other images and guidelines using markdown.

Top static section

This one is build using regular React components and nextJS approach. Content of the section was isolated to separate file for easier modifications. You can find content definitions here: src/consts/styleGuide/*. All assets for this section (images, fonts, graphics, etc), should live under public folder. One exception for that are icons, that are dynamically generated from /src/assets/icons folder.

Miscellaneous section

Miscellaneous section lives here: src/content/style-guide/miscellaneous.md. This one is edited using markdown file, extended to use JSX in markdown content (MDX). While playing with this section, all your assets linked inside this file, have to live under /public folder. You can use one special component prepared for this section purpose, which is StyleGuideResourceItem. Using it under image, will display captions under with nice visual manner. Here is a quick example:

<StyleGuideResourceItem
        marginBottom={10}
        title="Sample title"
        description="Sample description"
/>
