Documentation Conventions

These are some of the defined conventions that guide contributing to the

Folder and Directory Structure

• All top-level documentation pages should be created as folders in the vuepress/docs directory. e.g. a Community top-level page is created in vuepress/docs/community/

• All

Assets

• Assets including images for a specific pages should be added to the /assets/ directory for that page/

• The naming convention for images (new or existing) added to the /assets documentation name should be `<page_name>--<asset_name>

Page/Section Headers

As much as is possible, the following should be adhered to when creating headers for pages and sections:

• Page headers should use sentence case.

• Page headers and section headers should not contain numbers. The previous Mojaloop documentation used numbers as part of page and section headers which resulted in brittle links that were easily broken when content was changed.

Creating a Pull Request

Once you have created content that you are ready, the following steps should be followed to create a new PR:

• Run the ./verify-links script to ensure that there are no broken links on your page. See Verifying Page Links section for more details.

• Check for any typographical errors

• Create a pull request using master as the base branch

Verifying Page Links

Before opening a PR, ensure that all the links on the new page are correct and accessible. While this process is manual for now, a ./verify-links script will soon be added to the repository that can be run to verify all the links of the page.
