Contributing to the documentation

The documentation site is based on Docusaurus. If you'd like to contribute to the docs, make sure Node.js and npm are installed, then follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository:

    git@github.com:jsdoc/jsdoc.github.io.git
   

2. Install the dependencies:

    npm install
   

3. Make your changes in the docs directory, which contains the source files for the docs.

   The first few lines of each source file contain YAML front matter, which is metadata in YAML format. If you need to use the character @ or [ at the start of a YAML value, you can escape it with a backslash. For example, write title: @class as title: \@class.

4. Spawn your local instance:

    npm run
   

5. Build and serve locally:

    npm run build
    npm run serve
   

6. Review the updated markdown files, and make sure npm run build completes successfully and your changes look okay. In particular, if you edited the YAML front matter, make sure your changes are reflected in the generated site.

7. Submit a pull request with your changes.
