|
|
This repository contains the `help` module, which was formerly part of the `Snider/Core` framework. This module provides assistance and documentation functionality.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
This project uses `mkdocs-material` to build the documentation. To get started, you will need to have Python and `pip` installed.
|
|
|
|
1. **Install the dependencies:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Run the development server:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdocs serve
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
To use the `help` module, you first need to import it in your Go project:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import "github.com/Snider/help"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Next, initialize the help service by calling the `New` function. The `New` function accepts an `Options` struct, which allows you to configure the documentation source.
|
|
|
|
### Using a custom `embed.FS`
|
|
|
|
You can provide your own `embed.FS` as a documentation source. This is useful when you want to bundle the documentation with your application.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import (
|
|
"embed"
|
|
"github.com/Snider/help"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
//go:embed all:my-docs/build
|
|
var myDocs embed.FS
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
helpService, err := help.New(help.Options{
|
|
Assets: myDocs,
|
|
})
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
// Handle error
|
|
}
|
|
// ...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Custom Static Site Source
|
|
|
|
You can also provide a custom directory containing a static website as the documentation source. To do this, set the `Source` field in the `Options` struct to the path of your static site directory:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
helpService, err := help.New(help.Options{
|
|
Source: "path/to/your/static/site",
|
|
})
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
// Handle error
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once the help service is initialized, you can use the `Show()` and `ShowAt()` methods to display the documentation.
|
|
|
|
### Displaying Help
|
|
|
|
The `Show()` method opens the help window to the main page.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
err := helpService.Show()
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
// Handle error
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `ShowAt()` method opens the help window to a specific anchor. The provided anchor is normalized into a URL. For example, calling `ShowAt("ui/how/settings#resetPassword")` will open the help window to a URL similar to `http://localhost:8080/docs/ui/how/settings/index.html#resetPassword`. The exact URL depends on how your display service resolves these paths.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
err := helpService.ShowAt("ui/how/settings#resetPassword")
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
// Handle error
|
|
}
|
|
```
