express-gateway.io

This is the repository of the website express-gateway.io. It is hosted directly from the repository as a GitHub Pages website.

The main branch for this repository is dev.

The live site is published off gh-pages.

Please note: we use siteleaf.com as a CMS around this jekyll based site, changes that are committed to dev may be published automatically through content pushes through siteleaf.com to the gh-pages branch.

Local Setup

To run website locally:

1. Install Ruby and Bundler if you don't have them already.

Note: highly recommend installing rvm to install and manage Ruby

2. Install Jekyll and other important Gems. cd to the repository directory and run the command:

$ bundle install

3. Now do a build (this is only needed if pushing to GH pages)

$ bundle exec jekyll build

4. Run Jekyll using the following command:

$ bundle exec jekyll serve

5. You'll need to override _config.yml with the baseUrl set to "/"

6. Load http://localhost:4000/ on your browser.

Auto Regeneration

By default, Jekyll will auto-regenerate the static pages if you change files through a built in filewatcher. You can simply refresh your browser to see the updates.

Formatting

Jekyll uses a variant of Markdown known as Kramdown.

Jekyll uses the Liquid template engine for templating.

You can use GFM fenced code blocks.

Examples:

var express = require('express')
var app = express()
app.listen(3000)

apiEndpoints:
  help:
    host: '*.example.com'
    paths: /help
