This project generates and packages the static resources that Spring uses for document production.

You can use the Asciidoctor Maven plugin to generate your documentation.

You first need to declare this project as a dependency:

<dependency>
	<groupId>io.spring.docresources</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-doc-resources</artifactId>
	<version>${docs.resources.version}</version>
	<type>zip</type>
	<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>

Unpack the resources and the actual asciidoc documents in a specific build directory:

<plugins>
<plugin>
	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
	<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
	<executions>
	<execution>
		<id>unpack-doc-resources</id>
		<goals>
			<goal>unpack-dependencies</goal>
		</goals>
		<phase>generate-resources</phase>
		<configuration>
			<includeGroupIds>io.spring.docresources</includeGroupIds>
			<includeArtifactIds>spring-doc-resources</includeArtifactIds>
			<includeTypes>zip</includeTypes>
			<excludeTransitive>true</excludeTransitive>
			<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/refdocs/</outputDirectory>
		</configuration>
	</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
	<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<id>copy-asciidoc-resources</id>
			<phase>generate-resources</phase>
			<goals>
				<goal>copy-resources</goal>
			</goals>
			<configuration>
				<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/refdocs/</outputDirectory>
				<resources>
					<resource>
						<directory>src/main/asciidoc</directory>
						<filtering>false</filtering>
					</resource>
				</resources>
			</configuration>
		</execution>
	</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>

Finally, launch the documentation generation process; default output location is target/generated-docs/:

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.asciidoctor</groupId>
	<artifactId>asciidoctor-maven-plugin</artifactId>
	<configuration>
		<sourceDirectory>${refdocs.build.directory}</sourceDirectory>
		<attributes>
			// Add attributes generated by the build
			<spring-project-docs-version>${revision}</spring-boot-docs-version>
			<spring-version>${spring.version}</spring-version>
			// Add locations of code snippets to include in the documentation
			<sources-root>${project.basedir}/src/</sources-root>
		</attributes>
	</configuration>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<id>generate-html-documentation</id>
			<phase>prepare-package</phase>
			<goals>
				<goal>process-asciidoc</goal>
			</goals>
			<configuration>
				<backend>html5</backend>
				<sourceHighlighter>highlight.js</sourceHighlighter>
				<doctype>book</doctype>
				<attributes>
					// these attributes are required to use the doc resources
					<docinfo>shared</docinfo>
					<stylesdir>css/</stylesdir>
					<stylesheet>spring.css</stylesheet>
					<linkcss>true</linkcss>
					<icons>font</icons>
					<highlightjsdir>js/highlight</highlightjsdir>
					<highlightjs-theme>atom-one-dark-reasonable</highlightjs-theme>
				</attributes>
			</configuration>
		</execution>
	</executions>
</plugin>

You can use the Asciidoctor Gradle plugin to generate your documentation.

// declare a configuration for documentation resources
configurations {
	docs
}

dependencies {
	docs "io.spring.docresources:spring-doc-resources:${docResourcesVersion}@zip"
}

task prepareAsciidocBuild(type: Sync) {
	dependsOn configurations.docs
	// copy doc resources
	from {
		configurations.docs.collect { zipTree(it) }
	}
	// and doc sources
	from "src/docs/asciidoc/"
	// to a build directory of your choice
	into "$buildDir/asciidoc/build"
}

task('makePDF', type: org.asciidoctor.gradle.AsciidoctorTask){
	dependsOn prepareAsciidocBuild
	backends 'pdf'
	sourceDir "$buildDir/asciidoc/assemble"
	sources {
		include 'index-test.adoc'
		include 'test.adoc'
	}
	options doctype: 'book', eruby: 'erubis'
	logDocuments = true
	attributes 'icons': 'font',
		'sectanchors': '',
		'toc': '',
		'source-highlighter' : 'coderay'
}

asciidoctor {
	// run asciidoctor from that directory
	sourceDir "$buildDir/asciidoc/build"
	sources {
		include '*.adoc'
	}
	resources {
		from(sourceDir) {
			include 'images/*', 'css/**', 'js/**'
		}
	}
	logDocuments = true
	backends = ["html5"]
	options doctype: 'book', eruby: 'erubis'
	attributes  'docinfo': 'shared',
		// use provided stylesheet
		stylesdir: "css/",
		stylesheet: 'spring.css',
		'linkcss': true,
		'icons': 'font',
		// use provided highlighter
		'source-highlighter=highlight.js',
		'highlightjsdir=js/highlight',
		'highlightjs-theme=atom-one-dark-reasonable'
}

spring-doc-resources has a few features that we have added to address certain use cases.

For HTML output, if the current page is not index.html, you automatically get a link to index.html. This link appears above the table of contents. For many projects, this link never appears, because that project's build renders the documentation as index.html.

You can customize the destination of the "Back to Index" link by specifying a role with a value of #index-link, as follows:

[#index-link]
https://spring.io

where https://spring.io is the link you want.

Please do use a link that readers might reasonably think would be an index page. (The canonical case is the project's page on spring.io.)

Nominally, you can put that role anywhere, but near the top of your main Asciidoc file makes the most sense.

As with anything, there are some limitations that you should be aware of when you use spring-doc-resources.

When including code samples in the documentation, their location must not rely on relative paths, as the actual documentation build happens within the build/target folder. To work around that limitation, the build should introduce an attribute pointing to a particular location within project sources, from which code samples can be resolved.

To get the dynamic table of contents to work correctly, you need to set the docinfo attribute to shared, thus: :docinfo: shared. Bear in mind that, if you set the attribute in your build, it overrides the value in your Asciidoc files. You may still want to set the attribute in your Asciidoc files, though, if you generate files with the asciidoctor command for testing. You can also use private docinfo particular to asciidoc documents (see docinfo documentation).

The final distribution zip file contains the following:

|- docinfo.html, docinfo-footer.html (shared docinfo HTML files)
|- css/** (stylesheets)
|– js
   |- tocbot/** (navigation in table of contents)
   |- highlight/** (code highlighting)

You should unzip the whole archive at the top of your Asciidoc hierarchy (typically src/main/asciidoc and typically in the same directory as index.adoc).

CAUTION: You cannot let Asciidoctor generate its output and then move the files. The files have to be in position when Asciidoctor runs.

This project contains the following:

• /src/main/sass/**: The stylesheet for the HTML versions of the Spring reference guides, generated from SASS files.
• /src/main/resources/js/**: Javascript libraries for the Table of Contents and code hilighting.
• /src/main/resources/*.html: The custom Asciidoctor docinfo files.
• build.gradle: The Gradle build file for this project.
• gulpfile.js: The Gulp build that compiles sources into static files
• package.json: The dependencies for the NPM-based build
• README.md: This file.

Running ./gradlew distZip will build and package the asciidoctor theme in a zip file in build/distributions. You can also publish that artifact to your local maven repository for testing with ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal.

When working on the project, one can run the following command:

$ ./gradlew gulp_dev

This will start a local server on http://localhost:8080, watch files under src/** and rebuild automatically. Please consider installing the Livereload browser extension for a better experience.

You can also install the Gulp CLI and directly run build commands:

$ npm i -g gulp-cli
$ gulp dev
