Adobe I/O Theme

The Adobe I/O Theme powers all the Adobe developer.adobe.com sites to ensure that content is consistent across all the sites.

Prerequisites

This project uses Yarn 3 to manage package dependencies. If you do not have Yarn 3 installed, follow these instructions:

  1. Install Node.js LTS. At the time of writing, the latest LTS version is v16.15.1.

  2. Install Yarn 3 by running the following command:

    corepack enable

Corepack is a binary shipped with all Node.js releases starting from 16.10.

  1. Update Yarn to the latest version by running the following command:

    yarn set version stable
  2. Make sure you are now using version 3.2.1 of Yarn:.

    yarn --version

That's it. For more information on Yarn 3 usage, see Yarn usage.

Theme usage

Gatsby Themes allow site functionality to be packaged as a standalone product for others to easily reuse. Using a theme, all of your default configuration lives in an npm package.

Getting started

This section will help you get started building a site with the Adobe I/O Theme.

Using GitHub repository templates

To initialize a site repository, you can use one of the available site templates mentioned above. Simply click on the “Use this template” button to create a new GitHub repository of the template.

The templates are pre-configured with example pages.

Using the Adobe theme I/O

First make sure the dependency of the theme-aio is added to the project's package.json.

"dependencies": {
    "@adobe/gatsby-theme-aio": "^4.7.11",
    "gatsby": "4.22.0"
}

Then do a yarn install.

yarn install

For running the Adobe theme I/O example or run your repo locally

yarn dev

Doing a full clean up on your local repo

yarn clean && yarn cache clean && rm -r node_modules && rm yarn.lock

Developing with Adobe Theme I/O

This is what you can do to develop and test locally with an updated aio-theme. Make all your changes in aio-theme. Change your directory to /packages/gatsby-theme-aio

cd /packages/gatsby-theme-aio

Publish the current state of the theme package to your yalc directory.

yalc publish --push

Switch to the project that you would like to test your latest theme-aio with. Navigate to the root directly of that local project(eg. document-services - you would navigate to document-services repo's root .

yalc add @adobe/gatsby-theme-aio

View the package.json dependency of the local project to make sure it has added the theme like this. Also make sure it is using gatsby version 4.22.0.

  "dependencies": {
    "@adobe/gatsby-theme-aio": "file:.yalc/@adobe/gatsby-theme-aio",
    "gatsby" : "4.22.0"
   }

Clean the project and run again

yarn clean && yarn cache clean && rm node_modules && rm yarn.lock
yarn dev

Content structure

The content of the site is written in Markdown which is both easy to read and easy to learn.

As in most cases, the markdown content is stored in GitHub, we support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), which provides additional functionality for common formatting needs. Additionally, Adobe extended Markdown in a few ways to support certain features see Writing Enhanced Markdown.

Frontmatter

Frontmatter is metadata — at the top of a markdown file — that looks like this:

---
title: FAQ—Frequently Asked Questions
description: The FAQ page provides answers to common questions about the configuration and usage of Adobe Analytics in your site.
keywords:
  - Creative Cloud
  - API Documentation
  - UXP
edition: ee
contributor_name: Kalpesh Mehta from Corra
contributor_link: https://partners.magento.com/portal/details/partner/id/70/
layout: none
---
# First heading

The key:value entries shown in the preceeding example provide your topic with features that include:

  • Edition-specific pages for products (such as Commerce vs Open Source)
  • Contributor attributions for partners and community members (contributor_name, contributor_link)
  • Better search results (title, description, keywords)
  • Customizable layouts for pages
  • Topic maintainer names and links, and more.

More keywords and value options can be added in future versions as needed.

Edition keyword

Adding an edition keyword to the frontmatter adds a badge to the top of the page, indicating that the page applies to that product edition. Current values for the edition keyword are:

  • ee: Adobe Commerce only
  • b2b: B2B feature
  • pwa: PWA Studio only

For example, adding the edition keyword to the frontmatter generates a badge above the page title, as shown here using the ee value:

edition frontmatter keyword

Contributor name and link keywords

Adding contributor_name and contributor_link keywords adds a badge to the top of the page, indicating the partner agency or community contributor name with a link to their business or GitHub profile.

For example, adding the contributor_name and contributor_link keywords to the frontmatter adds an additional badge above the page title:

attribution frontmatter keyword

Hide page from search with noIndex

Adding noIndex: true will flag the page to be skipped during local search indexing. This is required when storing transcluded files under src/pages/ since we index all pages by default.

Note: duplicate results in local search are likely due to not setting noIndex: true inside transcluded pages.

Markdown pages

Make sure the markdown content is located under src/pages.

It is recommended to use a folder structure to define your site pages e.g. :

root
├- src/pages [/]
│  ├- index.md
│  ├- hero.png
│  ├- api [/api/]
│  │  └- index.md
│  └- guides [/guides/]
│      ├─ index.md
│      └- get_started [/guides/get_started/]
│        ├- index.md
│        └- debugging [/guides/get_started/debugging/]
│           └- index.md
├- .env
├─ gatsby-config.js
└─ package.json

Using a folder structure with only index.md files gets you close to the final site build files. During the build process, md files will be transformed into index.html files. The build files can be found in the public folder. Please read the Overview of the Build Process for more information.

Here's a simple example of a content structure with md files and the resulting html files:

root
├- src/pages [/]
│  ├- index.md
│  ├- i_follow_recommendation [/i_follow_recommendation/]
│  │  └- index.md
│  └- i_dont_follow_recommendation.md [/i_dont_follow_recommendation/]
├- .env
├─ gatsby-config.js
└─ package.json

will output:

root
└- public
   ├- index.html
   ├- i_follow_recommendation
   │  └- index.html
   ├- i_dont_follow_recommendation
   │  └- index.html
   └- Minified JS, CSS files

You can exclude pages from the build by either moving them out of src/pages or by prefixing the filename with _.

Links

Anchor links for headings

By default, the theme automatically generates an anchor link for headings h2 – h6, using the kabab-case (lowercase words separated by hyphens). For example, if the heading name is Inline code example, the theme creates the following anchor link: #inline-code-example.

You can customize the anchor link for a heading using the following syntax:

## Inline code example {#myCustomAnchorLink}

This will override the auto-link behavior and create a custom anchor link. Your custom anchor link can be any case format you want, as long as you don't use any spaces.

Internal links

Using markdown links to link to pages e.g. :

Relative link

[Link to mypage](../mypage.md)

Absolute link

[Link to mypage](/src/pages/mypage.md)

Add the suffix # to a link to jump to a section of the page for example if your page has a heading named Join the future, you can link to it:

[Link to mypage](../mypage.md#join-the-future)

You can also use absolute links or relative links to link between markdown pages e.g. with the example folder structure from Content Structure you can add a link from /guides/index.md to /api/index.md with:

Relative link

[Link to API](../api/)

Absolute link

[Link to API](/api/)

Please note that currently only absolute links will work with transcluded content.

External links

External links will automatically open in a new tab or window.

[Link to example.com](https://example.com)

You can prevent this behavior by adding the search parameter ?aio_internal to the link.

Assets

Images can be placed next to markdown pages inside src/pages and referenced using relative links. In this case, they'll be optimized during the build process and resulting file names are hashed to resolve potential caching issues.

Other asset types (e.g. PDFs etc.) can be placed inside a static folder at the root. Those assets are not being processed but simply copied into the public folder.

Here's a simple example of a content structure with a markdown page file and 2 different asset types:

root
├- src/pages [/]
│  ├- index.md
│  └- image.png
├- static [/]
│  └- document.pdf
├─ gatsby-config.js
└─ package.json

where image.png is referenced in index.md as an image:

![alt image](./image.png)

and document.pdf is referenced in index.md as a link:

[document](/document.pdf)

You'll find more information about the static folder at Using the Static Folder.

Please find guidance on ideal illustration sizes in this document.

Configuration

To make sure you don't run into troubles during the site build process, please follow the below configuration steps.

Environment variables

Follow these steps to configure your .env file.

  1. Copy .env.example to .env
  2. Add the appropriate values in the .env file

The .env should not be committed.

GitHub Contributors

GitHub's API is being called during the site build phase to retrieve the authors of every markdown page under src/pages. If the GitHub Token information is missing, the build will just print a warning, and no contributor information will be retrieved (just the contributor information in a page's front matter, if any, will be used).

To retrieve your GitHub personal access token, you can follow these steps. Only READ permissions on repositories are required for the token. For example, if your doc site repo was at https://github.com/adobe/aio-theme using the main branch, this would be what your .env would look like:

REPO_GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE
REPO_OWNER=adobe
REPO_NAME=aio-theme
REPO_BRANCH=main
REPO_ROOT=example

By default, you can omit the REPO_ROOT env var, and it should use the root folder as the source of the documentation pages. If your site is in a sub-folder, add the relative path as the REPO_ROOT.

Analytics and Feedback component

The GATSBY_ADOBE_LAUNCH_SRC= env var is used to enable the Analytics and Feedback component. To add analytics to your site, you need to set up Adobe Launch, with an Adobe Analytics Reporting Suite. Use the following steps:

In Adobe Analytics:

  1. Within Adobe Analytics, add a custom eVar (Text String type) to capture the feedback. This eVar will contain either yes or no.

In Adobe Launch:

  1. Create two Data Elements:
    • Feedback-Yes: Edit the code and paste in return document.querySelectorAll('button.feedback-yes')[0].innerText
    • Feedback-No: Edit the code and paste in return document.querySelectorAll('button.feedback-no')[0].innerText
  2. Make sure the following checkboxes are checked:
    • Enable Default Value
    • Force lowercase value
    • Clean text
  3. Create these three Rules:
    • Feedback-Yes: On click, it will set variables in Adobe Analytics (set the custom eVar to value of the Feedback-Yes Data Element), and then Send the Beacon.
    • Feedback-No: On click, it will set variables in Adobe Analytics (set the custom eVar to the value of the Feedback-No Data Element), and then Send the Beacon.

In Adobe Analytics:

  1. On library loaded (page top), Send the Beacon

In Adobe Launch:

  1. Go through the Publishing Flow, don't forget to Add All Resources.
  2. In Environments, select the appropriate environment, and under the Install column, select the icon.
  3. Copy the URL displayed in the script tag.
  4. Add the URL to the .env file as the value for GATSBY_ADOBE_LAUNCH_SRC=.

Example:

GATSBY_ADOBE_LAUNCH_SRC=https://your.adobe.launch.url.here

Identity Management Services

To enable IMS on the browser side, you'll need to set the following .env variables:

  • GATSBY_IMS_CONFIG - Map of client_id and scopes etc.
  • GATSBY_IMS_SRC - URL source of IMS library

Algolia local search testing

Sites hosted on the developer.adobe.com domain use Algolia search when staged or published to production.

To test your site's search locally — when you build it from your computer using yarn dev — you'll need to add Algolia search keys to the following .env variables:

GATSBY_ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME=your-sites-repo-name
GATSBY_ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID=adobes-application-key
GATSBY_ALGOLIA_SEARCH_API_KEY=adobes-public-search-key

Please contact the Adobe DevSite team to get the correct values for your site.

  • GATSBY_ALGOLIA_INDEX_NAME — your-sites-repo-name (by convention, the repo and index names are the same).
  • GATSBY_ALGOLIA_APPLICATION_ID — Alpha-numeric string required to access Adobe's product documentation, including yours.
  • GATSBY_ALGOLIA_SEARCH_API_KEY - Alpha-numeric string required to search Adobe's product documentation, including yours.

Global Navigation

The Global navigation links are configurable in gatsby-config.js under pages. If you follow the recommended content structure, you can define the path value using the folder names.

For example, the following folder structure maps to the URL defined in brackets:

src/pages [/]
├- index.md
├- api [/api/]
│  └- index.md
└- guides [/guides/]
   └─ index.md

then define your Global Navigation using pages in gatsby-config.js:

pages: [
  {
    title: 'Adobe Analytics',
    path: '/'
  },
  {
    title: 'Guides',
    path: '/guides/'
  },
  {
    title: 'API Reference',
    path: '/api/'
  }
]

You can also define it by pointing to the markdown files:

pages: [
  {
    title: 'Adobe Analytics',
    path: 'index.md'
  },
  {
    title: 'Guides',
    path: 'guides.md'
  },
  {
    title: 'API Reference',
    path: 'api.md'
  }
]

Search ?foo=bar and hash #foo values are also supported.

The order in which the pages are defined is respected in the Global Navigation.

If the current location corresponds to a path defined under pages, the correspond tab in the Global Navigation is set as active. Otherwise, the first defined tab is set as active by default.

At least one defined page is required. It's recommended to define the first page path as the root path /.

Menus

You can group links inside a dropdown menu in the Global Navigation with the menu field. Optionally, you can set a description to better differentiate grouped links e.g. based on the previous example:

pages: [
  {
    title: 'Adobe Analytics',
    path: 'index.md'
  },
  {
    title: 'Guides',
    path: 'guides.md'
  },
  {
    title: 'API Reference',
    menu: [{
      title: 'v2.0'
      description: 'Version 2.0 of API' // optional,
      path: '2.0/api.index'
    }, {
     title: 'v1.4'
     description: 'Version 2.0 of API' // optional,
     path: '1.4/api.index'
   }]
  }
]

Home link

The home link should be used to inform the user about a parent or sibling site external to the current one. Breadcrumbs will be displayed automatically to help the user understand its current location.

You can define a home link in gatsby-config.js for instance:

home: {
  title: 'Photoshop',
  path: 'https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html'
}

A default home link is displayed if none provided. If you don't want to display any home link, set hidden to true:

home: {
  hidden: true
}

Table Image

When inserting image to table, please ensure it has a complete .svg path.

Side Navigation

The Side navigation links are configurable in gatsby-config.js under subPages. You have to create a directory hierarchy which will be represented literally in the URL so that any sub page path starts with a path from pages.

For example, the following folder structure maps to the URL defined in brackets:

src/pages [/]
- index.md
- api [/api/]
  - index.md
- guides [/guides/]
   ├─ index.md
   - get_started [/guides/get_started/]
      - index.md
      - debugging [/guides/get_started/debugging/]
         - index.md

then define your Side Navigation for /guides/ using subPages in gatsby-config.js:

pages: [
  {
    title: 'Adobe Analytics',
    path: '/'
  },
  {
    title: 'Guides',
    path: '/guides/'
  },
  {
    title: 'API Reference',
    path: '/api/'
  }
],
subPages: [
  {
    title: 'Get Started',
    path: '/guides/get_started',
    pages: [
      {
        title: 'Debugging',
        path: '/guides/get_started/debugging/'
      }
    ]
  }
]

Similarly to the Global Navigation:

  • The order in which the sub pages are defined is respected in the Side Navigation.
  • Setting search and hash values in the path is supported
  • Linking markdown files is supported

Important: All sub pages paths have to be children of a top-level navigation path.

Variations

There are 3 variations of the Side Navigation:

  1. Single-level side navigation
  2. Categorical single-level side navigation
  3. Multi-level side navigation

Please refer to the section use the right variation to understand which side navigation variation to use.

Single-level side navigation

To create a single-level side navigation, you shouldn't specify pages for subPages for example:

single-level side navigation

is matching to the following config:

pages: [
  {
    title: 'Support',
    path: '/support/'
  }
],
subPages: [
  {
    title: 'Help',
    path: '/support/'
  },
  {
    title: 'How to contribute',
    path: '/support/contribute/'
  },
  {
    title: 'FAQ',
    path: '/support/FAQ/'
  },
  {
    title: 'Community',
    path: '/support/community/'
  }
]

Single-level side navigation with headers

To create a single-level side navigation with headers, you should set header: true on top-level subPages and follow the auto-collapsing rules. Do note if one subpage has header enabled, use header navigation type for all navigation items for example:

single-level side navigation with headers

is matching the following config:

pages: [
  {
    title: 'Support',
    path: '/support/'
  }
],
subPages: [
  {
    title: 'Overview',
    path: '/support/',
    header: true,
    pages: [
      {
        title: 'Help',
        path: '/support/'
      },
      {
        title: 'FAQ',
        path: '/support/FAQ/'
      },
      {
        title: 'How to contribute',
        path: '/support/contribute/'
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    title: 'Community',
    path: '/support/community/',
    header: true,
    pages: [
      {
        title: 'Information',
        path: '/support/community/'
      }
    ]
  }
]

Multi-level side navigation

To create a multi-level side navigation, you have to define pages for subPages for example:

multi-level side navigation

is matching the following config:

pages: [
  {
    title: 'Support',
    path: '/support/'
  }
],
subPages: [
  {
    title: 'Overview',
    path: '/support/',
    pages: [
      {
        title: 'Help',
        path: '/support/'
      },
      {
        title: 'FAQ',
        path: '/support/FAQ/'
      },
      {
        title: 'How to contribute',
        path: '/support/contribute/'
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    title: 'Community',
    path: '/support/community/',
    pages: [
      {
        title: 'Information',
        path: '/support/community/'
      }
    ]
  }
]

Auto-collapsing of multi-level side navigation

In the previous multi-level side navigation example, if the current location is /support/, Overview auto-collapses and selects Help by default because Overview and Help paths both matches the current location /support/.

It also means that if you don't want the auto-collapsing behavior, you have to define different paths for subPages than you defined for pages e.g. for the previous example, to avoid auto-collapsing of Overview, you would have to define a different path for Overview and Help:

pages: [
  {
    title: 'Support',
    path: '/support/'
  }
],
subPages: [
  {
    title: 'Overview',
    path: '/support/overview/',
    pages: [
      {
        title: 'Help',
        path: '/support/overview/help/'
      },
      {
        title: 'FAQ',
        path: '/support/overview/FAQ/'
      },
      {
        title: 'How to contribute',
        path: '/support/overview/contribute/'
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    title: 'Community',
    path: '/support/community/',
    pages: [
      {
        title: 'Information',
        path: '/support/community/'
      }
    ]
  }
]

which will render:

multi level sidenav without auto collapsing

Use descriptive titles

Navigation should be helpful. Choose titles for navigation items that clearly represent the surfaces where they'll go. Avoid using titles that are arbitrary or un-useful, since this can pose usability issues for your product.

Be concise

Along with being descriptive, navigation items should be succinct. Reduce any unnecessary words in order to ensure simplicity. Navigation items should never be so long that they require truncation, except in instances where navigation is user-generated.

Use sentence case

Navigation items should be written in sentence case.

Use the right variation

Make sure that you are using the right variation for your products’ context and users’ needs. Don’t mix behavior, styles, or variations together in a single navigation menu:

  • When navigation is simple, use the single-level side navigation.
  • When navigation is simple but categorical, use the single-level side navigation with headers.
  • When navigation is expansive, hierarchical, and/or you need progressive disclosure in your menu behavior, use the multi-level side navigation.

Avoid deep nested menus

The multi-level side navigation should only go 3 levels deep. More than 3 levels will make the indentation indiscernible, which can become a major usability issue in your product.

Use consistent multi-level behavior

If top-level navigation items have a location associated with them, send the user to that location and open the sub-level navigation items. If a top-level navigation item does not have any associated location, only open the sub-level navigation items.

Side navigation can use either of these behaviors, but should never mix behaviors in the same experience.

Versions

You can specify multiple versions for your site in gatsby-config.js under versions. The first entry is the selected version by default.

versions: [
  {
    title: 'v2.0',
    selected: true
  },
  {
    title: 'v1.4',
    path: 'https://github.com/AdobeDocs/analytics-1.4-apis'
  }
],

Important: managing multiple versions inside a single repository is not supported.

Building the site

You can generate a production version of the site using following commands:

With the CLI:

aio doc generate

Or run following commands:

  • To build and preview a production version of the site: npm run start.
  • To build and preview a production version of the site with path prefix: npm run start:prefix.
  • To build and preview a development version of the site with hot reloading: npm run dev.

Adding a Path Prefix

Many applications are hosted at something other than the root (/) of their domain. For example, a blog could live at example.com/blog/, or a site could be hosted on GitHub Pages at example.github.io/my-site/.

To add a Path Prefix, go to your gatsby-config.js file and specify the prefix with:

pathPrefix: process.env.PATH_PREFIX || '/MY_PREFIX/'

Deploying the site

Preview on GitHub Pages

To enable GitHub Pages, go to your repository settings under the GitHub Pages section, select the gh-pages branch as source and press Save. Your site will be available for preview at https://ORG_NAME.github.io/REPO_NAME.

On every commit to the main branch, the site will be built to GitHub Pages automatically, for you to preview as a development version. This is the default branch for new repos in GitHub.

GitHub Contributors component: this will use the GitHub token automatically provided by the GitHub Action to retrieve data

Feedback component: no environmental variable should be set since GitHub Pages should only be for development purposes

Deploy to Azure Storage Static Websites

You can manually trigger the deploy workflow by pressing the Run workflow button:

  1. Go to your repository actions overview page i.e. https://github.com/ORG/REPOSITORY/actions
  2. Click on the "Deploy" workflow
  3. Press Run workflow. You can choose which branch the workflow is run on and specify the deployment type (dev for development or/and prod for production).

Using the Clean cache: typically you won't have to set this to yes. The most common scenario of when to use is when you do a deploy and a particular resource isn't updating to the most recent change. eg, a static image is still on the old version. Try setting this to yes and redeploy the site.

Using the Exclude a subfolder from deletion: folders listed here separated out by commas will exclude them from being overwritten when doing a deploy. This is useful if you have multiple sites deploying to the same path. eg, one repo deploys to /photoshop/ and another repo deploys to /photoshop/docs/. You can set the the repo that deploys to /photoshop/ option as Exclude a subfolder from deletion: docs. Then whenever that /photoshop/ repo deploys, the subfolder docs will not get deleted. You can also list out multiple subfolders separated by commas like so: api, photoshop-api-docs, uxp, another-path etc.

Pre-requisites:

  1. Setting your PATH_PREFIX as explained here. This is the sub-folder to deploy this micro-site to.
  • For example, if you want to deploy to https://example.com/foo/bar, you must set PATH_PREFIX to /foo/bar/
  • For sites deployed to the root, use / as the PATH_PREFIX
  1. The person initiating the deploy workflow must have write access to the repository.

Writing Enhanced Markdown

Metadata with Front matter

Front matter allows an author to specify metadata for a page. For example, you can define the page meta title and description by adding front matter to the beginning of your markdown file:

---
title: Guides - Adobe Analytics
description: This is the guides overview page of Adobe Analytics
---

In addition to the GitHub contributors of a markdown file, you can specify external contributors with front matter. They'll show up first before the GitHub contributors.

---
contributors:
- https://github.com/simonwex
---

You can also specify whether or not to hide breadcrumb navigation on pages without a hero at the top. Pages with a Hero can flag the breadcrumb option on the Hero component if needed.

---
title: Guides - Adobe Analytics
description: This is the guides overview page of Adobe Analytics without a breadcrumb
contributors:
  - https://github.com/simonwex
  - https://github.com/davidbenge
hideBreadcrumbNav: false
---

OpenAPI

We use Redoc to render OpenAPI specs. Simply use front matter to define the spec URL.

## openAPISpec: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdobeDocs/analytics-2.0-apis/master/docs/swagger.json

Redocly API Block

We can now host your own open api yaml files and be rendered by Redocly documents. This way can avoid to iframe in and host our own api yaml files in Redocly.

When using this block, GATSBY_REDOCLY_KEY : ${{ secrets.REDOCLY_LICENSE_KEY }} will needs to be added in deploy.yml file in the repo.

JSDoc

We currently recommend to use the JSDoc to markdown converter.

Use front matter to specify a JSDoc markdown document.

## jsDoc: true

Then annotate your JS parameters with <JsDocParameters/> to render them nicely see the example markdown file.

MDX

MDX is supported out of the box. MDX enables writing JSX React components in markdown giving authors new powers. Despite the markdown files having all an md extension, they are actually treated as MDX files. You can use md and mdx extensions interchangeably.

As we try to limit the use of MDX in favor of pure markdown, we have come up with a way to couple the use of basic markdown syntax with JSX.

Always make sure to close JSX blocks and use line breaks between JSX blocks and markdown content to avoid MDX parser issues.

Modular Content System

The modular content system is a set of content blocks with variants and compositions that can be used to create pages.

  • Content Blocks are goal-focused. A group of content that has a specific goal or intention, to structure and support the overall narrative. Examples are groupings of text, groupings of buttons, and hero content.

  • Variants are messaging-focused. The messaging points/content (this includes both written and visual content/images) that makes the goal of the content block happen. Examples are text content blocks with icons vs no icons.

  • Compositions are layout-focused. The overall narrative for the page.

A variant can go into a content block. Multiple content blocks make up a composition.

JSX Blocks

The Content Blocks are defined as JSX Blocks. They use a slots property to identify which markdown elements to ingest using only string properties. This helps maintain better readability when rendered on https://github.com.

Common slots are: heading, image and text. See below examples for full details.

Hero Block

A Hero Block should be used on every home page. Only 1 Hero Block per page is allowed. They are used to set up the tone of the page and optionally add call to actions and intentions for users.

There are 3 different variants:

  • The default variant for Documentation pages.
  • The half width variant for Product/Platform authored pages.
  • The full width variant for Index home pages.

Default variant:

InlineAlert block (Updated: 2022-06-08)

The Inline Alert block provides ways to highlight various types of information, using an optional title, text blocks, and variants.

Anatomy of an InlineAlert block

<InlineAlert variant="[value]" slots="title, text1, text2, text[n]" />

Variant values

As shown above, the first property of an InlineAlert is the variant property. The value of this property determines the icon and border color of the alert. The variant values you can use are described here:

  • info (default) — use to add helpful information.
  • help — use to add brief steps from or links to other help topics.
  • error — use to highlight errors that may result from an action.
  • success — use to highlight success messages that may be displayed after an action.
  • warning — use to focus attention on a potential problem that could occur.
  • neutral — use as an all-purpose callout that displays a black border and no icon.

inline alert

The slots and variants of an InlineAlert block are as follows.

Slot values

Use the following slots to style your markdown text within the InlineAlert block:

  • title (optional) — Use plain markdown text. The slot will bold the title and space it above your text appropriately. You can only use one title per alert block.
  • text (required). Use plain markdown text.
  • text2...text[n] (optional) - You can use additional text slots to display multiple paragraphs. Just make sure each additional text block starts with the word text followed by numbers or letters that make each text slot unique.

Simple InlineAlert

The simplest InlineAlert you can create uses a single text slot, as shown here:

<InlineAlert slots="text" />

This is the text that displays within the default alert variant — info.

inline alert

Richer InlineAlert

To add an InlineAlert with a different variant, a title, and multiple paragraphs, you can specify all the optional properties, as shown here:

<InlineAlert variant="help" slots="header, text1, text2, text3, text4" />

Alternative steps:

**Step 1:** This is faux step text for the `text1` slot.
This is faux step text for the `text1` slot.
This is faux step text for the `text1` slot.
This is faux step text for the `text1` slot.
This is faux step text for the `text1` slot.

**Step 2:** This is faux step text for the `text2` slot.
This is faux step text for the `text2` slot.
This is faux step text for the `text2` slot.

**Step 3:** This is faux step text for the `text3` slot.

**Step 4:** This is faux step text for the `text4` slot.
This is faux step text for the `text3` slot.

inline alert

Nested InlineAlert

To add an InlineAlert within another component, we have created a new component to do that. Here is how you should create an inline alert within another component:

<InlineNestedAlert variant="info" header="true" iconPosition="right">

   Personal Information :

   Lorem ipsum dolor sit amee

   Add more information

   Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

 </InlineNestedAlert>

This new InlineNestedAlert will not be supporting the 'slot' parameter as the regular InlineAlert. The nested InlineAlert must wrap around the content that it wants to display. It can only supports one header by using the parameter header="true". Header will not be supported if there is only 1 line. It supports variant the same way as the regular InlineAlert. Also it supports another parameter as iconPosition to be displayed either left or right side of the alert.

Media Block

The Media Block is used to display interactive medias like videos.

media


<Media slots="video"/>

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkgpeWbHrjA>

Use slots to identify the markdown content:

  • video (required)

Announcement Block

The Announcement Block goes directly underneath the Hero Block for Product/Platform pages. It's used to call out new features, blog posts, news etc. anything that needs that needs to be surfaced above the fold.

Markdown:

| Tables        |      Are      |  Cool |
| ------------- | :-----------: | ----: |
| col 3 is      | right-aligned | $1600 |
| col 2 is      |   centered    |   $12 |
| zebra stripes |   are neat    |    $1 |

HTML:

<table>
    <th>
        <td>Tables</td>
        <td>Are</td>
        <td>Cool</td>
    </th>
    <tr>
        <td>col 3 is</td>
        <td>right-aligned</td>
        <td>$1600</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>col 2 is</td>
        <td>centered</td>
        <td>$12</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>zebra stripes</td>
        <td>are neat</td>
        <td>$1</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Will both look like this:

styled markdown table

When should I use an HTML table over Markdown?

Markdown has a simple way of defining and formatting your tables, but it can be limited in customization and difficult to format with a lot of data. You should consider using HTML tables if you're experiencing said limitations.

Here is a couple of examples:

By default, the column width distribution is even across all columns in the table. To customize it we support a columnWidths property which you can configure like so:

<table columnWidths="20,60,20">
  ...
</table>

styled markdown table

The columnWidths property expects a distribution by percentage of the table width. Comma separated numbers only.

You can assign any distribution as long as the number of entries matches the number of columns and the distribution adds up to 100% otherwise it may not work as expected.

# Columns Default Distribution Custom Distribution Example
2 "50,50" "25,75"
3 "33.33,33.33,33.33" "10,20,70"
4 "25,25,25,25" "10,20,35,35"

We also support inline css overrides using the css property like so:

<table
  css="
    background-color:teal; 
    tbody {
      background-color:orange;
    }">
  ...
</table>

styled markdown table

Combining modifiers is supported as well unless mentioned otherwise.

index.md content:

import Overview from './overview.md'

# Welcome

Lorem ipsum

<Overview/>

## Questions

Lorem ipsum

overview.md content:

## Overview

Lorem ipsum

index.md will be rendered as:

# Welcome

Lorem ipsum

## Overview

Lorem ipsum

## Questions

Lorem ipsum

Embedding external markdown files

Sites are using npm to define dependencies so we can also include external markdown documents.

You have to define a name in the package.json like here to be able to include it as a dependency in another site.

You don't have to release the site on npm since npm supports installing dependencies using github repository urls. For example, to install https://github.com/AdobeDocs/dev-site-documentation-template/ as a dependency in another site, you can run the command npm install --save adobedocs/dev-site-documentation-template;

Your site package will show up under node_modules/[PACKAGE_NAME] e.g. node_modules/dev-site-documentation-template.

See full example below using a Variant block.

Filtering content with Variant Blocks

Together with Variant Blocks, the author can query what should be rendered from external sources.

This allows to write content once, and reuse it everywhere.

For example, let's say there are 2 repositories named http://github.com/adobedocs/repo1 and http://github.com/adobedocs/repo2. Both are sites using the theme and have markdown content defined under src/pages.

  1. repo1 has reusable markdown content written with Variant Blocks under /src/pages/debugging/index.md:
## How to Debug Your Plugin

Bugs happen! In this tutorial, you will learn how to debug your plugin.

<Variant product="XD" repeat="2" />

First launch the XD console, by clicking Developer > Console

[XD link](https://adobe.io)

<Variant product="Photoshop" repeat="2" />

First launch the Photoshop console, by clicking Developer > Console

[Photoshop link](https://adobe.io)

<Variant test="image" repeat="2" />

#### Image

![image](../test/image.png)

Use repeat to define how many elements are part of the Variant Block. Use any key=value property to mark your Variant Block.

  1. repo2 added repo1 as dependency with npm install --save adobedocs/repo1 to be able to reference its markdown content.

  2. repo2 embeds repo1 content by using the import statement and inserts the content in its own markdown together with a query filter to only display what is needed.

import Debugging from 'repo1/src/pages/debugging/index.md'

# Debugging

<Debugging query="product=Photoshop" />

More content

will be rendered as:

# Debugging

Create the new JS component in the component folder and import the component in the markdown file wherever you want to add credential

For the above code I named like CreateCredential.js, You can use the component in the markdown file like the below code

import { CreateCredential } from "../components/CreateCredential.js";

...

<CreateCredential />

To customize the side component within the GetCredential component. In Credential.css specify the custom styles you want for the side component.

Import the Credential.css file into your JavaScript component CreateCredential.js to apply the styles.


import './Credential.css';

Toast

Toasts are brief, unobtrusive messages used for user notifications or feedback

Toast

<Toast variant="success" message="Page Loaded successfully" disable={5000} />

Use variant(optional) to specify the toast's variant.The values are Info, Success, Neutral, and Error. By default Neutral.

Use message(optional) to display a message within the toast.

Use disable(optional) to prevent the automatic closure of the toast. You can set a specific duration (e.g., 1000 milliseconds) to close it, or manually close the toast when desired.

Customizations

When using themes, you can take advantage of something called shadowing. This allows you to override the default component included in the theme with a custom one you’ve created.

The Adobe I/O Theme package has a component to render code using the Prism syntax highlighter. With shadowing, you can override the component to provide your own.

If you look at the file tree of your site, you’ll see it looks something like this:

root
├─ src/pages
│   ├- index.md
│   └- etc.
├- .env
├─ gatsby-config.js
└─ package.json

To enable shadowing, you need to add a folder called @adobe/gatsby-theme-aio. Any file placed in that directory with a path that matches the path of a file from the theme will completely shadow the file.

So the new folder structure with shadowing enabled will look like following:

root
├─ src
│  ├- pages
│  │  ├- index.md
│  │  └- etc.
│  └- @adobe
│     └- gatsby-theme-aio
│        └- components
│           └- Code
│              └- index.js
├- .env
├─ gatsby-config.js
└─ package.json

You can define your own Code components under src/@adobe/gatsby-theme-aio/components/Code/index.js.

Notice omitting the src directory in the shadow folder.

Custom layout

You can build pages without the default layout by setting layout to none within the page front matter. The Global Header, Footer, Side Navigation etc. are always shown but anything in between can be customized.

See the example markdown file.

Frame

This can be useful if you want to embed pages from another system. The embedded page will be framed between the Global Header and Footer. Simply set frameSrc to the url of the external page within the front matter.

See the example parent page and child page which leverages the Penpal library to create a communication channel to exchange information.

Theming

Currently, you can only define a light or dark theme for Code blocks. By default, Code blocks are displayed in dark theme. To change Code blocks from dark to light theme, you have to shadow the theme/index.js file:

export default {
  code: 'light'
};

Upgrading

Locally

To upgrade to the latest version of the theme, simply run npm update if you have defined the dependency with a version range selector. If not, update the version of the dependency by setting the version manually in the package.json and run npm install.

This will also update the lock file package-lock.json.

Automated

We recommend to setup GitHub dependabot in your site repository. Simply copy the dependabot file in your .github folder.

The bot will automatically submit pull requests to keep your version of the theme up to date. Please make sure to use a version range selector for your dependencies in your package.json.

Issue tracker

Use the GitHub issue tracker to report issues, ask questions or log feature requests. Any feedback is welcome !

Please check existing issues before filing anything new.

Contributing

Contributions are welcomed! Read the Contributing Guide for more information.

See Conventional Commits for commit guidelines.

Releases

You can check the latest released version of the theme at https://github.com/adobe/aio-theme/releases.

This repository is setup as a monorepo using lerna for automated publishing to NPM.

Use GH_TOKEN=[YOUR_GH_TOKEN] lerna version --create-release github --conventional-commits --no-private -m "chore(release): publish" for publishing the theme on npm.

Remove GitHub Log an issue feature

log-an-issue

By default, any document pages will have "Log an issue/ Edit in Github" feature enabled.

This can be turned off through gatsby-config.js

  siteMetadata: {
    githubIssue: {
    removeLogIssue: true,
  },
}
