Course Configuration

Course Metadata

Each course needs a metadata.json file:

{
  "title": "Your Course Title",
  "description": "Course description",
  "banner": "https://path-to-banner-image.jpg",
  "created_at": "24-11-2024",
  "cost": 0,
  "currency": "USD",
  "type": "paced"
}

Section Metadata

Each section folder requires a metadata.json:

{
  "title": "Section Title",
  "unlocked": true
}

Lesson Content

Lessons are written in Markdown (.md) files:

---
title: 'Lesson Title'
---

Customization

Templates

Each template has its own component set in src/lib/components/[template-name]/. The active template is determined by the VITE_TEMPLATE environment variable.

Navigation & Site Settings

Update src/lib/data/pages.json to customize your site settings. The file contains an array of three main page configurations:

[
  {
    "id": "shared-page",
    "title": "Shared",
    "slug": "#",
    "sections": [
      // Global components like SEO, navigation, and footer
    ]
  },
  {
    "id": "home-page",
    "title": "Home Page",
    "slug": "/",
    "sections": [
      // Home page specific sections like hero, features, testimonials
    ]
  },
  {
    "id": "courses-page",
    "title": "Courses Page",
    "slug": "/courses",
    "sections": [
      // Course page specific sections
    ]
  }
]

Each page configuration includes:

1. Shared Page (shared-page):

   • Contains global components used across all pages
   • Configures SEO settings, main navigation, and footer
   • Always present regardless of the current route

2. Home Page (home-page):

   • Landing page configuration (/ route)
   • Includes sections like header, about, featured courses, instructors, FAQ, testimonials, and CTAs
   • Configurable marketing sections to showcase your platform

3. Courses Page (courses-page):

   • Course listing page configuration (/courses route)
   • Contains course-specific header and layout settings
   • Manages how courses are displayed and filtered

Each section can be toggled with the show property and customized through its settings object. Here is a breakdown of each page

type Page = {
  id: string;
  title: string;
  slug: string;
  status: 'draft' | 'published';
  sections: Section[];
};

type Section = {
  settings: Record<string, any>;
  show: boolean;
  type: string;
};
