Website for the Live Coders Twitch Team

Setup Instructions

The site is built with GatsbyJS. Make sure NodeJS is installed before working on the site.

Clone down the repository and install the dependencies

git clone https://github.com/livecoders/website.git LCWebsite
cd LCWebsite
npm install

Then, to start up a development server, run the develop node command.

npm run develop

The site will be spun up on port 8000 and if you update any page, the site will reload automatically.

Member Page docs

Every member of the Live Coders will have a markdown file in the src/members folder of this repo.

If you want to watch a video on how this works, watch Live Coders Site: Tutorial on filling out a member page

Each page consists of the following initially:

---
username: csharpfritz
profile: ../img/members/csharpfritz.png
---

The username is used for the URL, the header, and the username to your twitch page. The profile is a relative path to where the profile image is located. All images are initally pulled from Twitch, but you can add your own image / update it whenever you wish (Just remember to update filename / extension if it changes).

Then you can add even more content in the frontmatter. None of the following are required but include:

• social links:
  • twitter
  • instagram
  • devto
  • github
  • youtube (needs a full URL as a custom URL requires 100 subs or more on YT)
• schedule: an array of strings for when you stream. Feel free to add text including scheduled streams that you do on a frequent basis
• tags: an array of things you do. This includes programming languages, frameworks, spoken languages, etc
• sites: an array of additional sites you wish to showcase on your page. Limit this to just the URL

And after the frontmatter section, add a paragraph or two talking about what you do / what you do on your stream. You can use either 1st or 3rd person here.

So a full example may look like the following:

---
username: csharpfritz
profile: ../img/members/csharpfritz.png
twitter: csharpfritz
instagram: csharpfritz
