Cronos Testnet's Documentation

The documentation in this repository site is meant to provide specifications and implementation details that will be useful to third party developers or contributors to the main repository.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

You're going to need:

• NPM
• Oracle JDK (For generating the pdf, deployment needs this)

Getting Set Up

1. Fork this repository on Github
2. Clone your forked repository (not our original one) to your hard drive with git clone https://github.com/YOURUSERNAME/cronos-docs.git
3. cd cronos-docs
4. Initialize and start chain-docs.

npm install
npm run docs:dev

You can now see the docs at http://localhost:8080.

Adding new page to the doc

1. Create a markdown file under /docs/getting-started/
2. Open /docs/.vuepress/config.js
3. Add the file name to sidebar and the ordering under vuepress-plugin-export in plugins

module.exports = {
  ...,

  themeConfig: {
    ...,

    sidebar: {
      '/getting-started/': [
        '',
        ...,
+        '[Add_Your_New_File_Name_Here]'
        ...
      ]
    }
  },
  ...,

  plugins: [
    ['vuepress-plugin-export',
    {
      sorter: function(a,b){
        var ordering = {
          'Home': 0,
          ...,
+         '[Add_Your_New_File_Name_Here]': [Add_The_Number_You_Want_The_Page_Be_Ordered]
          ...,
        };
        ...
      }
    }
    ]
  ]
}

Generating a PDF version of the site

Go to cronos-docs/docs, then run:

vuepress export

PDF styling config in /docs/.vuepress/config.js, you can refer to Puppeteer doc for the complete page API when generating PDF.

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    ['vuepress-plugin-export',
    {
      page: {         // Puppeteer.page.pdf([options])
        format: 'A4',
        printBackground: true,
        margin: {
          top: 60,
          left: 20,
          right: 20,
          bottom: 60
        }
      },
      sorter: function(a,b){
        ...,
      }
    }
    ]
  ]
}

a PDF version of the site will be generated under the /docs path.
