Documentation using Docusaurus

Docusaurus is an open-source documentation framework that makes it easy to build, deploy, and maintain documentation websites. It is often used for creating documentation for software projects, APIs, and other technical content. Below are the basic steps to create documentation using Docusaurus:

Prerequisites:

1. Node.js and npm:

• Ensure that Node.js and npm are installed on your machine. You can download them from https://nodejs.org/.

Step 1: Install Docusaurus

npx create-docusaurus@latest my-docs
cd my-docs

Step 2: Project Structure
Docusaurus will generate a basic project structure. The main folders you need to be aware of are:

• 'doc': Contains your documentation files in Markdown format.

• 'src': Contains the source code for customizing the website.

• 'website' :Configuration files and pages for your website.

Step 3: Create Documentation
Add your documentation files in the _docs_ folder. Docusaurus supports Markdown for documentation. Create ._md files_ for each page or section.

Step 4: Configure Sidebar
Edit the _sidebars.js_ file in the website folder to configure the sidebar navigation. This file defines the structure of your documentation.

Step 5: Customize the Website
Customize the website by modifying the files in the _src_ folder. You can edit the theme, add pages, and make other adjustments according to your needs.

Step 6: Preview the Website
Run the development server to preview your documentation locally:

npm run start

This will start a local server, and you can view your documentation by visiting http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.

Step 7: Build the Website
Once you are satisfied with your documentation, you can build the static files for deployment:

npm run build

This will create a _build _folder containing the static files that you can deploy to a web server.

Step 8: Deploy
Choose a hosting solution to deploy your documentation. Docusaurus supports various deployment options, including GitHub Pages, Netlify, and Vercel. Follow the specific deployment instructions for your chosen platform.

• Configuration: Explore the docusaurus.config.js file in the root directory to configure various settings.

• Themes: Docusaurus comes with a default theme, but you can explore and use other themes based on your preferences.
