Prisma Documentation

PRs Welcome Discord

This repository contains the source code and the content for the Prisma documentation.

Contributing to the docs

New contributors are welcome! Read through the contributing guide to learn how you can contribute to the Prisma documentation.

Run the docs site locally

  1. Clone this repository.
  2. On your computer, open a terminal window in the repository's directory.
  3. Run the following commands:
npm install
npm run start

Be sure to also test building the static site:

npm run clean && npm run build
npm run serve

To prettify or format the code, run:

npm run format

Please note that .md and .mdx files are not formatted by Prettier because they are written in MDX 3 which Prettier does not support.

Visit http://localhost:3000 to view the app.

Configure

Write MDX files in content folder.

Most frontmatter for the docs are the same as Docusaurus Frontmatter. There are some differences due to legacy frontmatter which are handled here.

When possible, avoid using custom frontmatter fields and use the default ones available via Docusaurus.

Inserting, moving and deleting files

All files/folders in the context are prefixed with a position which indicates the order in which they appear in the sidenav on the docs website. This makes it cumbersome to insert, move and delete files because the positions of a number of other files (if not all) in the same folder might need to be adjusted. Thanks to Luca Steeb, you can perform these operations with a dedicated CLI called mdtool.

Install

First, install wget:

brew install wget

Then use wget to install mdtool:

wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/steebchen/bd085ebde1fcf4242e3fdd0df4d202a6/raw/c04e3d262eb6a302a9fab98f6428fec9329681e2/mdtool -qO /usr/local/bin/mdtool
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mdtool

Usage

Overview

mdtool insert 3
mdtool swap A B
mdtool move A B
mdtool remove 4

mdtool insert

Make place for a new file at given index and increment all numbers by one after that index:

$ mdtool insert INDEX

# e.g.:
$ mdtool insert 2

# Result: for files 01-a, 02-b, 03-c, and 04-d; 03-c is renamed to 04-c and 04-d is renamed to 05-d so you can create a new file at index 2

mdtool swap

Swap two files; specify both filenames (prefix numbers get automatically adjusted):

$ mdtool swap FILENAME1 FILENAME2

# e.g.:
$ mdtool swap 03-file1.mdx 07-file2.mdx

# Result: Files are now named: 03-file2.mdx 07-file1.mdx

mdtool move

Move a given file to another given index

$ mdtool move FILENAME INDEX

# e.g.:
$ mdtool move 05-file.mdx 2

# Result: 05-file.mdx is move to 02-file.mdx, plus previous files 02-*, 03-*, 04-* are incremented

mdtool remove

Shift all other items by -1 at a given index:

$ mdtool remove INDEX

# e.g.:
$ mdtool remove 2

# Result: 01-a, 02-b, 03-c, 04-d becomes 01-a, 02-b, 02-c, 03-d; 02-b is supposed to be manually deleted
