Reason Website

This code is used to generate https://reasonml.github.io. It pulls in files from docs/ and website/ to generate HTML files served on the site.

website/ contains the JS, CSS, images and other files (and some markdown files in blog which are separated from docs/; it's not too important).

cd website && npm install && npm run start to start the development server & watcher.

Don't use npm run build. It's mostly for debugging.

In the end, we spit out normal HTML with all but a few critical JS dependencies removed, including ReactJS itself. It's a full static website: super lightweight, portable, unfancy, but good looking. And it works with JS turned off!

Two special files:

  • sidebars.json: lists the sections.
  • siteConfig.json: some header and i18n configs.

During your development, most changes will be picked up at each browser refresh. If you touch these two files or blog/, however, you'll have to restart the server to see the changes.

Translations

The entire site can be translated via the Crowdin project. This repo only has the canonical English documentation. Don't manually edit things in i18n/.

Debugging

console.logs appear in your terminal! Since the site itself is React-free.

Building and Deploying

Changes from the source branch are automatically picked into master branch by CI and then published.

Building the Playground

cd website && npm install

For modifying the actual try playground source code, run npm run bundle-try-playground:dev to start a watcher. Once you're done, run npm run bundle-try-playground:prod once.

Building with custom BuckleScript/etc

To build the actual bsReasonReact.js, refmt.js, stdlibBundle.js, reasonReactBundle.js:

You'll need to have this repository and the BuckleScript repository cloned. These will likely be next to each other in the directory structure.

  1. Inside the BuckleScript repository, follow the Setup guide.

  2. Follow the Contributing to the BS Playground Bundle guide.

  3. Run BS_PLAYGROUND=../../reasonml.github.io/website/playground/bs node scripts/repl.js

  4. Inside the reasonml.github.io repository, run cd website && yarn

  5. Then run, yarn prepare in the same place.

  6. Finally, run node setupSomeArtifacts.js
