About Remix Project

The Remix Project is a platform for development tools that use a plugin architecture. It encompasses sub-projects including Remix Plugin Engine, Remix Libraries, and of course Remix IDE.

The Remix IDE is an open source web and desktop application. It fosters a fast development cycle and has a rich set of plugins with intuitive GUIs. Remix is used for the entire journey of contract development with Solidity language as well as a playground for learning and teaching Ethereum.

You can start developing with Remix on the browser by visiting: https://remix.ethereum.org. If you prefer a desktop version, check out: https://github.com/remix-project-org/remix-desktop.

Remix IDE homepage

The built-in plugins in Remix IDE are built on top of Remix libraries, which handle core operations like compiling and interacting with smart contracts.. Explore the Remix libraries README to learn more.

Custom theming

The documentation is built using Sphinx and the Read the Docs theme as a base. The theme has been customized using CSS overrides and JavaScript to built on top of the base theme.

conf.py

html_js_files = [
    "js/constants.js",
    "js/utils.js",
    "js/loaders.js",
    "js/initialize.js"
]

html_css_files = ["css/fonts.css", "css/tokens.css", "css/custom.css"]

These js and css files are been declared to run once the initial theming has been applied.

File (docs/_static/) Description
constants.js Contains all JavaScript constants to be used throughout the other scripts.
utils.js Contains all utility/helper functions to be used throughout the other scripts.
loaders.js Contains primary logic for all the loading scripts, organized by initialize.js.
initialize.js Contains high-level script logic. Declares order of loader.js functions to be run during onDOMContentLoaded (immediately after the initial DOM content has been loaded)
css/fonts.css Contains all font imports and declarations.
css/tokens.css Contains all CSS theming variables and tokens used throughout the other CSS files.
css/custom.css Contains all custom CSS overrides and theming. This uses existing CSS selectors from the Sphinx theming to select and override various styling.
