Terraform Documentation

This directory contains the portions of the Terraform website that pertain to the Terraform Plugin Framework.

The files in this directory are intended to be used in conjunction with the terraform-website repository, which brings all of the different documentation sources together and contains the scripts for testing and building the site as a whole.

Updating Sidebar Navigation

You must update the sidebar navigation for the terraform-plugin-framework documentation any time that you add or delete a documentation page. The website builds the sidebar navigation menu from the nav-data JSON file. For more details about how to update this file, refer to https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-website#editing-navigation-sidebars.

Adding Redirects

You must add a redirect when you move, rename, or delete documentation pages. Refer to https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-website#redirects for details.

Previewing Changes

You should preview your changes locally to ensure that the content is rendering properly before you create a pull request. The build includes content from this repository and the terraform-website repository, allowing you to preview the entire Terraform documentation site.

To preview your content, complete the following steps:

Set Up Local Environment

  1. Install Docker.
  2. Restart your terminal or command line session.

Launch Site Locally

  1. Navigate into your local terraform-plugin-framework top-level directory and run make website.
  2. Open http://localhost:3000 in your web browser. While the preview is running, you can edit pages and Next.js will automatically rebuild them.
  3. When you're done with the preview, press ctrl-C in your terminal to stop the server.

Validating Content

Content changes are automatically validated against a set of rules as part of the pull request process. If you want to run these checks locally to validate your content before committing your changes, you can run the following command:

npm run content-check

If the validation fails, actionable error messages will be displayed to help you address detected issues.

Deployment

The website reads content from release tags to generate documentation for all versions of terraform-plugin-framework documentation. Changes merged into main will be included in the documentation for the next product release.

You cannot edit documentation for past versions of terraform-plugin-framework on the site. Documentation is an artifact of a product release. We push docs fixes forward for the next release, rather than retroactively fixing older versions.
