Documentation

Building From Source

Install mdbook and then open a new terminal session in order to run the subsequent commands

cargo install mdbook

To set up and build the book locally, you must also have mdbook-forc-documenter preprocessor and relevant forc plugins installed.

If you wish to make changes to the Commands or Plugins chapters, please read the next section first.

From the project root, install mdbook-forc-documenter:

cargo install --path ./scripts/mdbook-forc-documenter

You must also install forc plugins that are already documented within the book. You can skip plugins that are going to be removed and install plugins that are going to be added to the book:

cargo install --path ./forc-plugins/forc-fmt
cargo install --path ./forc-plugins/forc-lsp
cargo install --path ./forc-plugins/forc-explore

To build book:

mdbook build

To build the book on strict mode to check if pages should be removed or added within the Forc Reference:

MDBOOK_preprocessor__FORC_documenter__STRICT="true" mdbook build docs

To serve locally:

mdbook serve

Generating documentation for Forc commands/plugins

The mdbook-forc-documenter preprocessor now automatically handles documenting forc commands and plugins, but some actions have to be taken for the preprocessor to work. Please read the mdbook-forc-documenter README before making changes to Forc commands or plugins.

It is important to note that changing the chapter names Commands and Plugins will affect the behavior of the preprocessor. When renaming the chapters, please make the same change here.
