A common theme shared across Mobify's platform documentation. This theme should be used for all new documentation going forward. It currently is used for the following projects:

• Progressive Web SDK
• Amp SDK
• Docs Hub

Setup

The theme is distributed via the @mobify/documentation-theme npm package. Add as an npm dependency to your project, npm i and then make use of shared templates, mixins, and scripts in your project. Check out one of the other projects to see how it should be used.

Developing

The theme itself is not "runnable". The only way to do development on the theme and be able to quickly test your change, you can do the following:

1. If you are making any styling changes:

# 1. Make any styling change
# 2. Compile the style files, in the documentation-theme:

npm run sass

# 3. Go to documentation-hub folder:

cd ../documentation-hub

# 4. Re-run the app:

npm start

# 5. Refresh the browser to view the change

2. If you are making any other changes eg. pub files, images, SVG, JavaScript, etc.

# 1. Go to documentation-hub folder:

cd ../documentation-hub

# 2. Re-run the app:
