Setting up the backend documentation ​

The backend documentation is built using vitepress.

Requirements:

Set up locally ​

To run a development version with hot reload locally, run

bash
npm install
npm run docs:dev

To build the static files to docs/.vitepress/dist and preview the production version locally, use

bash
npm run docs:build
npm run docs:preview

Configuration and Theme ​

Configuration of the site (e.g. sidebar, navigation, …) is in docs/.vitepress/config.js. Follow the vitepress reference for changes to that.

The custom theme is in docs/.vitepress/theme. See the vitepress guide for details.

Deployed version ​

The documentation is deployed via a GitHub Action in .github/workflows/deploy-docs.yml using GitHub Pages on giscience.github.io/openrouteservice.
