The TypeScript wiki

This repo is a mirror of the TypeScript wiki. Changes on either the wiki or this repo are immediately mirrored to the other side. This is done in a GitHub Action here, and another in the TS repo, and the main work is done by a sync script.

The wiki root is Home.md.

You can run this locally if you have ruby installed via:

# Install the deps
gem install gollum

# Start the server
gollum

Then you can open: http://localhost:4567

Things to remember:

• Gollum is a bit of a nightmare for testing, my current technique is:

  # before
  git branch -b thing_i_am_working_on
  
  # to iterate, amend the commit and re-run gollum against that bit of git
  git add .; git commit --amend --no-edit --no-verify; gollum --ref thing_i_am_working_on
  

• Wikis don't support nesting, so filenames have to get a bit wild

  - compiler/testing/fourslash.md
  + compiler-testing-fourslash.md
  

• You can use a custom link syntax for references to TypeScript code which will be looked up at deploy time:

  link to [`runFourSlashTest`][0]
  
  [0]: <src/harness/fourslash.ts - function runFourSlashTest(>
  

  Will look at the file src/harness/fourslash.ts in microsoft/TypeScript to find the line of code function runFourSlashTest and provide a direct link in the wiki. You can audit them via the script npm run lint.
