KrakenD Documentation

All the documentation uses Markdown syntax and the site is generated using Hugo. After your contribution this repository will be used to compile all the documentation.

If you want to use a server to browse this pages, although not necessary, you can copy the folder inside the content directory in any Hugo installation.

Contribute!

Feel free to fork this repository and contribute to a better KrakenD documentation.

If you'd like to add a new language please open an issue before doing the work as we will need to add the support before it is visible.

Thanks for improving the docs!

Helpers when writing

Besides from the regular Markdown to write content, there are a few shortcodes to help you style the documentation:

Add a yellow note:

For important notes, and things that need special, attention:

{{< note title="A note on JWT generation" >}}
Some big yellow block with a note
{{< /note >}}

Show terminal output:

The CSS will prepend a dollar sign $ in the first line.

{{< terminal title="Title of the box">}}
docker build -t mykrakend .

{{< /terminal >}}

Highlight some code:

Most of the code is just idented with a tab and Markdown renders it properly as a <pre> tag and we prefer not to colorize it much. Nevertheless this can be done with the following shortcode:

{{< highlight json >}}
{ "a": true }
{{< /highlight >}}

You can also highlight a line, specific lines 6 7, or a range 6-8:

{{< highlight go "hl_lines=6-7" >}}
package krakend

import (
    "github.com/devopsfaith/krakend/logging"
    client "github.com/devopsfaith/krakend/transport/http/client/plugin"
    server "github.com/devopsfaith/krakend/transport/http/server/plugin"
)
{{< /highlight >}}

The documentation of the attributes is autoloaded from its json schema definition. You will find lines like the following:

{{< schema data="folder/file.json" >}}

The data attribute loads the file from the krakend-schema repository, using the same path.
