Contribute

• Issue Tracker
• Source Code

We take pull requests on our documentation as well, if you think that something can be improved please open a PR.

The documentation is formatted using reStructuredText. Additionally, we use a Sphinx extension to help format tables.

All documentation should be written in US English.

Note that PhpStorm comes with a reStructuredText plugin. You can enable it from the Plugins preferences pane. It enables some syntax highlighting.

Prerequisites

• python3 (must be in your $PATH, use brew install python3)
• pip, Python's package manager. Installation instructions.
• Node > 12.x. Installation using the Node Version Manager is recommended.

Running locally

Create a fork, or clone this repository if you have write access:

git clone [email protected]:mollie/api-documentation.git

Then visit the downloaded repository and install dependencies:

cd api-documentation
make install

Generate HTML and supporting files

Finally, build the documentation, its CSS and JS files by running:

make html

You can now preview the generated documentation by opening build/html/index.html:

open build/html/index.html

Making changes to copy

After running make html at least once, you can use make html-only to quickly update the HTML files if you changed some copy. This way, you can have a quick REPL.

$ make html-only
Running Sphinx v1.7.1
...
updating environment: 0 added, 2 changed, 0 removed
...
build succeeded.

The HTML pages are in build/html.
$ open build/html/index.html

Sphinx will only update files for which the source files have changed.

Styling docs

You can make changes to the styling by starting a web server locally:

make start

Visit http://localhost:8000 to preview your changes. CSS & JS changes will appear without the need to refresh your browser.

Releasing new versions of the documentation

Deployment is handled using continuous deployment via Travis CI. Successful builds on the master branch will be automatically deployed.
