HashiCorp Middleman Customizations ================================== A wrapper around [Middleman][] for HashiCorp's customizations. Installation ------------ Add this line to the Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'middleman-hashicorp', github: 'hashicorp/middleman-hashicorp' ``` And then run: ```shell $ bundle ``` Usage ----- To generate a new site, follow the instructions in the [Middleman docs][]. Then add the following line to your `config.rb`: ```ruby activate :hashicorp ``` If you are a HashiCorp employee and are deploying a HashiCorp middleman site, you will probably need to set some options. Here is an example from Packer: ```ruby activate :hashicorp do |h| h.name = "packer" h.version = "0.7.0" h.github_slug = "hashicorp/terraform" # Disable fetching release information - this is useful for non-product site # or local development. h.releases_enabled = false # Disable some extensions h.minify_javascript = false end ``` Almost all other Middleman options may be removed from the `config.rb`. See a HashiCorp project for examples. Now just run: ```shell $ middleman server ``` and you are off running! Customizations -------------- ### Default Options - Syntax highlighting (via [middleman-syntax][]) is automatically enabled - Asset directories are organized like Rails: - `assets/stylesheets` - `assets/javascripts` - `assets/images` - `assets/fonts` - The Markdown engine is redcarpet (see the section below on Markdown customizations) - During development, live-reload is automatically enabled - During build, css, javascript and HTML are minified - During build, assets are hashed - During build, gzipped assets are also created ### Mega Nav HashiCorp has a consistent mega-nav used across all project sites. This is insertable into any document using the following: ```erb <%= mega_nav :terraform %> ``` Additionally, you must import the CSS and Javascript: ```js // assets/javascripts/application.js //= require hashicorp/mega-nav ``` ```scss // assets/stylesheets/application.scss @import 'hashicorp/mega-nav' ``` ### Helpers - `latest_version` - get the version specified in `config.rb` as `version`, but replicated here for use in views. ```ruby latest_version #=> "1.0.0" ``` - `system_icon` - use vendored image assets for a system icon ```ruby system_icon(:windows) #=> "" ``` - `pretty_os` - get the human name of the given operating system ```ruby pretty_os(:darwin) => "Mac OS X" ``` - `pretty_arch` - get the arch out of an arch ```ruby pretty_arch(:amd64) #=> "64-bit" ``` ### Markdown This extension extends the redcarpet markdown processor to add some additional features: - Autolinking of URLs - Fenced code blocks - Tables - TOC data - Strikethrough - Superscript In addition to "standard markdown", the custom markdown parser supports the following: #### Auto-linking Anchor Tags Sine the majority of HashiCorp's projects use the following syntax to define APIs, this extension automatically converts those to named anchor links: ```markdown - `api_method` - description ``` Outputs: ```html
``` Any special characters are converted to an underscore (`_`). #### Recursive Markdown Rendering By default, the Markdown spec does not call for rendering markdown recursively inside of HTML. With this extension, it is valid: ```markdownHey, you should know...
