Documentation

For the documentation feature of supastarter is also based on content-collections (opens in a new tab).

Create a documentation page

To create a new documentation page, simply create a new .mdx file in the content/documentation directory.

---
title: Documentation
subtitle: Learn how to use our software
---
 
Your content here

The frontmatter properties title and subtitle can be defined for each documentation page. The subtitle is optional.

Folder structure

The folder structure of the documentation is determined by the directory structure of the content/documentation directory:

content
└── documentation
    ├── getting-started
    │   └── index.mdx
    ├── installation
    │   ├── index.mdx
    |   └── linux.mdx
    ├── usage
    │   └── index.mdx
    ├── index.mdx

The index file of each directory will be used as the main page of the documentation section. The title of the directory will be used as the title of the documentation section.

If you want to customize the title or the order of directories / pages you can define a meta.json file in each directory:

{
  "items": {
    "getting-started": "Getting Started",
    "usage": "Usage",
    "installation": "Installation"
  }
}

The items object defines the order and the title of the directories / pages. If an item is not defined in the meta.json file, the title of the directory / page will be used and the order will be determined by the file system.

Multi-language support

The documentation feature also supports multi-language. To translate a documentation page, simply create a new .mdx file in the same directory and add the language code to the filename (like index.de.md for German):

---
title: Dokumentation
subtitle: Lerne, wie du unsere Software verwendest
---
 
Dein Inhalt hier

Make sure to use the same locales as defined in the i18n object in the config.ts file.

To translate the menu items of the documentation, you can define a meta.[locale].json file in each directory:

{
  "items": {
    "getting-started": "Erste Schritte",
    "usage": "Verwendung",
    "installation": "Installation"
  }
}
