The code that powers Ariadne website, made with 🦖 Docusaurus.

Working with Git Submodules

This repository uses Git submodules to include documentation from the ariadne and ariadne-codegen repositories. The submodules are essential for the website to build and function correctly.

Initial Setup

When cloning this repository for the first time, you need to initialize and update the submodules:

# Clone the repository with submodules
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/mirumee/ariadne-website.git

# Or if you've already cloned without submodules, initialize them:
git submodule update --init --recursive

This will:

  • Initialize the ariadne submodule (server documentation)
  • Initialize the ariadne-codegen submodule (client documentation)

Updating Submodules to Specific Tags

The submodules should be kept synchronized with specific GitHub tags/versions. To update a submodule to a specific tag:

# Navigate to the submodule directory
cd ariadne  # or cd ariadne-codegen

# Fetch the latest tags
git fetch --tags

# Checkout the desired tag
git checkout <tag-name>

# Return to the root directory
cd ..

# Commit the submodule update
git add ariadne  # or ariadne-codegen
git commit -m "Update ariadne submodule to <tag-name>"

Updating All Submodules

To update all submodules to their latest commits from their respective remotes:

git submodule update --remote --merge

Checking Submodule Status

To see which commit each submodule is currently pointing to:

git submodule status

Generate new version

For server documentation run:

npm run docusaurus docs:version:server x.x.x

For client documentation run:

npm run docusaurus docs:version:client x.x.x

Where x.x.x is your new version number.
