分版

您可使用分版脚本来使用 docs 目录中的最新内容来生成新的文档版本。 That specific set of documentation will then be preserved and accessible even as the documentation in the docs directory changes moving forward.

caution

请在分版您的文档前三思 - 这可能会让贡献者难以做出改进!

大多数情况下,您不需要在构建时分版文档,这样不仅会延长构建时间,还会复杂化您的代码。 Versioning is best suited for websites with high-traffic and rapid changes to documentation between versions. If your documentation rarely changes, don't add versioning to your documentation.

To better understand how versioning works and see if it suits your needs, you can read on below.

The table below explains how a versioned file maps to its version and the generated URL.

路径版本链接
versioned_docs/version-1.0.0/hello.md1.0.0/docs/1.0.0/hello
versioned_docs/version-1.1.0/hello.md1.1.0 (latest)/docs/hello
docs/hello.mdnext/docs/next/hello

Tagging a new version#

  1. First, make sure your content in the docs directory is ready to be frozen as a version. A version always should be based from master.
  2. Enter a new version number.
npm run docusaurus docs:version 1.1.0

When tagging a new version, the document versioning mechanism will:

  • Copy the full docs/ folder contents into a new versioned_docs/version-<version>/ folder.
  • 根据您当前的侧边栏配置(如果存在的话)创建一个分版本的边栏文件,并将它保存为versioned_sidebars/version-<version>-sidebars.json
  • Append the new version number to versions.json.

文档#

创建新文档#

  1. Place the new file into the corresponding version folder.
  2. Include the reference for the new file into the corresponding sidebar file, according to version number.

Master docs

# The new file.docs/new.md
# Edit the corresponding sidebar file.sidebar.js

Older docs

# The new file.versioned_docs/version-1.0.0/new.md
# Edit the corresponding sidebar file.versioned_sidebars/version-1.0.0-sidebars.json

链接文档#

  • Remember to include the .md extension.
  • Files will be linked to correct corresponding version.
  • Relative paths work as well.
The [@hello](hello.md#paginate) document is great!
See the [Tutorial](../getting-started/tutorial.md) for more info.

版本#

Each directory in versioned_docs/ will represent a documentation version.

更新现有版本#

You can update multiple docs versions at the same time because each directory in versioned_docs/ represents specific routes when published.

  1. Edit any file.
  2. Commit and push changes.
  3. It will be published to the version.

Example: When you change any file in versioned_docs/version-2.6/, it will only affect the docs for version 2.6.

删除现有版本#

You can delete/remove versions as well.

  1. Remove the version from versions.json.

示例:

[  "2.0.0",  "1.9.0",- "1.8.0"]
  1. Delete the versioned docs directory. Example: versioned_docs/version-1.8.0.
  2. Delete the versioned sidebars file. Example: versioned_sidebars/version-1.8.0-sidebars.json.

推荐做法#

Figure out the behavior for the "current" version#

The "current" version is the version name for the ./docs folder.

There are different ways to manage versioning, but two very common patterns are:

  • You release v1, and start immediately working on v2 (including its docs)
  • You release v1, and will maintain it for some time before thinking about v2.

Docusaurus defaults work great for the first usecase.

For the 2nd usecase: if you release v1 and don't plan to work on v2 anytime soon, instead of versioning v1 and having to maintain the docs in 2 folders (./docs + ./versioned_docs/version-1.0.0), you may consider using the following configuration instead:

{  "lastVersion": "current",  "versions": {    "current": {      "label": "1.0.0",      "path": "1.0.0"    }  }}

The docs in ./docs will be served at /docs/1.0.0 instead of /docs/next, and 1.0.0 will become the default version we link to in the navbar dropdown, and you will only need to maintain a single ./docs folder.

按需分版文档#

For example, you are building a documentation for your npm package foo and you are currently in version 1.0.0. You then release a patch version for a minor bug fix and it's now 1.0.1.

Should you cut a new documentation version 1.0.1? You probably shouldn't. 1.0.1 and 1.0.0 docs shouldn't differ according to semver because there are no new features!. Cutting a new version for it will only just create unnecessary duplicated files.

Keep the number of versions small#

As a good rule of thumb, try to keep the number of your versions below 10. It is very likely that you will have a lot of obsolete versioned documentation that nobody even reads anymore. For example, Jest is currently in version 24.9, and only maintains several latest documentation version with the lowest being 22.X. Keep it small 😊

Use absolute import within the docs#

Don't use relative paths import within the docs. Because when we cut a version the paths no longer work (the nesting level is different, among other reasons). You can utilize the @site alias provided by Docusaurus, that points to the website directory. 示例:

- import Foo from '../src/components/Foo';+ import Foo from '@site/src/components/Foo';

Global or versioned colocated assets#

You should decide if assets like images and files are per version or shared between versions

If your assets should be versioned, put them in the docs version, and use relative paths:

![img alt](./myImage.png)
[download this file](./file.pdf)

If your assets are global, put them in /static and use absolute paths:

![img alt](/myImage.png)
[download this file](/file.pdf)
