# TPH Website The official website for [The Programmer's Hangout](https://discord.gg/programming). ## Contributing The site is built with [Gatsby](https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby) which is used to leverage the power of React while allowing for static asset generation along with improved SEO. **This site and docs is still a work-in-progress and subject to change** ### Setup 1. Clone the repo 2. `npm install` 3. `npm run develop` 4. Nagivate to http://localhost:8000 5. :tada: ### Resources If you're not familiar with Gatsby or React, you can still contribute by adding resources for languages you _are_ familiar with. The list of resources can be found [here](/src/content/docs) #### Adding a new resource Gatsby will take care of most of this process by creating a new page and positioning it in the sidebar automatically once you write up a new resource. All you have to do is follow these steps: 1. Create a markdown page in the appropriate location. For example `/src/content/docs/haskell/monads.md` 2. Add the required frontmatter for the post. [More info here](#frontmatter) 3. Write your main content. 4. Add `external_resources` about the subject if possible. 5. Run through the [setup steps](#setup) if possible to make sure your changes look ok. 6. Create a pull request. #### Frontmatter Frontmatter the optional metadata attached to every markdown file, like the list of authors or the creation date of the file. It is essentially just yaml syntax inside `---` delimiters within a markdown file. If you're not familiar with yaml you can find some refreshers [here](https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/yaml/) An example frontmatter might look like this ```md --- authors: - "Xetera#0001" title: "Working with Lists in Elixir" created_at: 2020/01/30 external_resources: - "https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/List.html" --- # Title some content here ``` You can look at other resources like [this one](/src/content/docs/javascript/promises/intro.md) for reference when creating your own. We use [ISO8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) as the date format to confuse both Americans and Europeans an equal amount.
