sponge-docs-theme

This repository is the home of the SpongeDocs homepage and theme. The SpongeDocs theme is a customized version of the Read the Docs Sphinx Theme with custom modifications to adapt it to our brand.

We also extend it with a few additional features:

• Language and version selection
• "Offline Mode": Service Worker that downloads the entire documentation to make it available offline.
• Light/dark theme selection

Contributing

The SpongeDocs theme is built using Node.js and gulp.

1. Install Python 3
2. Install Node.js

In terminal or the command line, within the directory containing this README, run the following commands:

npm install -g gulp
npm install
pip install -r requirements.txt

Project structure

The src folder contains all sources. All other folders (e.g. sponge_docs_theme) contain generated files and should not be edited. The sources for the theme are in src/theme, the homepage sources are in src/homepage.

Theme

The theme can be built using gulp theme:build. To rebuild the theme when changes to the local source files are made, run gulp theme:watch.

To test the changes, setup a SpongeDocs workspace and install your local sponge-docs-theme project as PIP package: pip install -e path/to/your/sponge-docs-theme.

Homepage

The homepage can be built using gulp homepage:build. Run gulp homepage to listen for local changes and to start a webserver at http://localhost:8000.
