OpenBB Documentation Website

This repository contains the source code for the OpenBB Documentation Website.

The website was built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator and TailwindCSS as styling solution. It uses algolia search for the search bar. The final website can be found at https://docs.openbb.co.

Markdown files

The markdown files are used to generate the website. The markdown files are located in the content folder. These files are generated with python scripts that can be found in scripts and should not be edited manually.

Syntax sugar

Code blocks

Code blocks are generated using the default markdown syntax:

print("Hello World")

To generate a dynamic date for a certain code block (useful for options examples that need to have a valid date), you can use 2022-07-29 as a placeholder. The script will replace it with the third friday of the next month.

/op oichart ticker:AMD expiry:2022-07-29

Run locally

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 16.13.0 To check if you have Node.js installed, run this command in your terminal:

node --version # should be v16.13.0 or higher

Install dependencies

npm install

Start development server

npm start

This command starts a local development server and open up a browser window in http://localhost:3000. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

npm run build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service. We use Github Pages to host our website. It's deployed in the gh-pages branch.

Run tests

pytest tests/website --autodoc

If tests are run locally, the --autodoc flag is required, otherwise tests will be skipped. To install necessary dependencies for tests, run poetry install -E doc in the root directory of the repository.

Notes

iFrame

We are detecting whether the website is loaded inside an iframe. If it is, we are hiding the header and footer. This is done to have a better integration with our hub website.

We welcome contributions to the OpenBB Documentation Website.
