Most content on the site can be edited on GitHub without messing with HTML markup.
The site's source and structure is in the _src/ folder. Ignore everything with an underscore in its name.
When viewing a file on GitHub you will see a small pencil icon in the top right. Click that to edit the file.
All pages are simple Markdown files. Markdown is a way of telling the site how an element should be marked up, like headings & bold text:
I'm a simple paragraph. No fancy symbols needed.
# I'm a heading 1
## I'm a heading 2
You can make text **bold like so**Some pages like front page source their content dynamically during site build. This is so we have a single source of truth for content used in multiple places on the site.
You need to have the following tools installed on your development machine before moving on:
Run the following command from the repository's root folder to install all dependencies.
npm i && bundle installSpin up local dev server and livereloading watch task, reachable under https://localhost:1337:
gulpThe site gets built & deployed automatically via Travis. This is the preferred way of deployment, it makes sure the site is always deployed with fresh dependencies and only after a successful build.
Build & deployment happens under the following conditions on Travis:
- every push builds the site
- live deployment: every push to the master branch initiates a live deployment
- beta deployment: every new pull request and every subsequent push to it initiates a beta deployment
For emergency live deployments or beta deployments, the manual method can be used. The site is hosted in an S3 bucket and gets deployed via a gulp task.
To deploy the site, you must authenticate yourself against the AWS API with your AWS credentials. Get your AWS access key and secret and add them to ~/.aws/credentials:
[default]
aws_access_key_id = <YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID>
aws_secret_access_key = <YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>This is all that is needed to authenticate with AWS if you've setup your credentials as the default profile.
If you've set them up as another profile, say [ipdb] you can grab those credentials by using the AWS_PROFILE variable like so:
AWS_PROFILE=ipdb gulp deploy --liveIn case that you get authentication errors or need an alternative way to authenticate with AWS, check out the AWS documentation.
The staging build is a full production build but prevents search engine indexing & Google Analytics tracking.
# make sure your local npm packages & gems are up to date
npm update && bundle update
# make staging build in /_dist
# build preventing search engine indexing & Google Analytics tracking
gulp build --staging
# deploy contents of /_dist to beta
gulp deploy --beta# make sure your local npm packages & gems are up to date
npm update && bundle update
# make production build in /_dist
gulp build --production
# deploy contents of /_dist to live
gulp deploy --liveLint with ESLint & stylelint in your editor or run:
npm testAs a rule of thumb, make your CSS & JavaScript work in the last 2 versions of modern browsers, and ideally in IE 11. Adapt the browserslist key values in the package.json when a change in visitor statistics allows that.
Follows stylelint-config-bigchaindb which itself extends stylelint-config-standard.
Follows ascribe/javascript which itself extends airbnb/javascript.
Try to not use any jQuery, always prefer vanilla JavaScript.
At the moment, jQuery is only used for the form submissions for its simple $.ajax functionality, and neither XMLHttpRequest or fetch seem to work with MailChimp.
