Content-driven help site built with Astro and MDX.
## Requirements
- `node >= 22.12.0`
- `npm`
## Basic Setup
1. Install dependencies:
```sh
npm install
```
2. Start the local dev server:
```sh
npm run dev
```
3. Open `http://localhost:4321`.
## Available Commands
| Command | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `npm run dev` | Start the local Astro dev server |
| `npm run build` | Build the site for production |
| `npm run preview` | Preview the production build locally |
## How Content Works
- Each top-level folder inside `src/content/` is a content section.
- The current site includes sections for `src/content/website/` and `src/content/avatar-items/`.
- Files in a section can be `.md` or `.mdx`.
- Each content file must include frontmatter with:
```md
---
title: Page Title
description: Short summary
---
```
- `index.mdx` becomes the landing page for that section.
Example: `src/content/website/index.mdx` maps to `/website`
- Any other file becomes a subpage under that section.
Example: `src/content/website/registration.mdx` maps to `/website/registration`
## Adding A New Content Subpage
To add a new page inside an existing section:
1. Create a new `.md` or `.mdx` file in the relevant folder under `src/content/`.
2. Add the required frontmatter:
```md
---
title: New Page
description: What this page covers
---
```
3. Add the page body content.
Example:
```text
src/content/website/account-recovery.mdx
```
This page will be available at:
```text
/website/account-recovery
```
## Adding A New Content Section
If you want a new group of subpages, create a new folder in `src/content/` and then register it once in `src/config/content.ts`.
### 1. Create the folder and files
Example:
```text
src/content/mobile-app/
├── index.mdx
└── notifications.mdx
```
`index.mdx` should describe the section landing page. Any additional files become subpages for that section.
### 2. Update `src/config/content.ts`
Add a new entry to `contentSections`:
```ts
export const contentSections = {
website: {
dir: "website",
},
avatarItems: {
dir: "avatar-items",
},
mobileApp: {
dir: "mobile-app",
},
};
```
The object key is the section route and Astro collection name. The `dir` value is the folder under `src/content/`.
### 3. Run the site locally
```sh
npm run dev
```
Verify that:
- the new section appears on the home page
- the section index page loads
- the new subpages resolve under the expected URL path
## Contributor Notes
- Keep one topic per file.
- Use `index.mdx` only for a section landing page.
- Prefer lowercase, hyphenated filenames for clean URLs.
- If you create a new top-level content folder, register it in `src/config/content.ts`. `src/content.config.ts`, navigation, and routing derive from that registry.
