spacy.io website and docs

This page contains the documentation and styleguide for the spaCy website. Its rendered version is available at https://spacy.io/styleguide.

Setup and installation

Before running the setup, make sure your versions of Node and npm are up to date. Node v10.15 or later is required.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/explosion/spaCy
cd spaCy/website

# Install Gatsby's command-line tool
npm install --global gatsby-cli

# Install the dependencies
npm install

# Start the development server
npm run dev

If you are planning on making edits to the site, you should also set up the Prettier code formatter. It takes care of formatting Markdown and other files automatically. See here for the available extensions for your code editor. The .prettierrc file in the root defines the settings used in this codebase.

Building & developing the site with Docker

Sometimes it's hard to get a local environment working due to rapid updates to node dependencies, so it may be easier to use docker for building the docs.

If you'd like to do this, be sure you do not include your local node_modules folder, since there are some dependencies that need to be built for the image system. Rename it before using.

docker run -it \
  -v $(pwd):/spacy-io/website \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  ghcr.io/explosion/spacy-io \
  gatsby develop -H 0.0.0.0

This will allow you to access the built website at http://0.0.0.0:8000/ in your browser, and still edit code in your editor while having the site reflect those changes.

Note: If you're working on a Mac with an M1 processor, you might see segfault errors from qemu if you use the default image. To fix this use the arm64 tagged image in the docker run command (ghcr.io/explosion/spacy-io:arm64).

Building the Docker image

If you'd like to build the image locally, you can do so like this:

docker build -t spacy-io .

This will take some time, so if you want to use the prebuilt image you'll save a bit of time.
