How We Auto-Generate Documentation, JavaScript Style

We’ve spent the last few months building the new version of our shopping cart.

When we started working on it, we knew this would also mean changes in other areas of our product.

Documentation was one of them.

It meant a few specific and much-needed upgrades:

• Improving navigation between docs versions
• Rethinking content arborescence
• Automating documentation generation as much as possible

We also wanted to stay true to what we preach; using the JAMstack! That meant choosing the right JavaScript tools to generate our documentation.

We ended up picking Nuxt for static documentation generation, Sanity.io to manage content, and Netlify for automated deployment. I’ll explain why later on.

In the end, it was a great opportunity to significantly enhance our docs UX for both users and our development team.

In this post, I want to show you how we did it and how you can replicate it.

Disclaimer: Keep in mind this is an ongoing beta of the v3.0 for development and testing purpose only.

Our documentation generation (a bit of context)

Our old doc was built with custom Node.js and needed server-side rendering on each new page load. We often forgot to document new fixes and simple features. There was also the unfortunate errors and typos from time to time. In short, documentation could often become a pain in the a**. I’m sure some of you can relate to this.

So, for our new documentation, we fixed ourselves a few goals. It had to:

• Be deployed as a fully static site
• Be hosted on a fast CDN
• Use Vue.js on the frontend (as it’s our team’s go-to framework)
• Make editing content easier for the whole team—not only devs!
• Ensure all our Javascript API’s methods and theme’s overridable components get properly documented

This combination of criteria added up to an obvious choice of stack: a Vue-powered static site generator attached to a headless CMS.

As automation fans, we didn’t want to manage the documentation of our theme’s components and the Javascript API independently. The documentation data would need to be generated at build time from the code and JSDoc comments.

This would require a fair amount of additional work but, in the long run, ensure documentation that’s always up-to-date and validated at the same time we review features’ pull requests.

This also added the constraint of choosing a headless CMS with a powerful API to update content.

Why Sanity as a headless CMS?

There are many, many headless CMSs. I suggest doing a thorough research and measure the pros and the cons before choosing one. In our case, there are a few criteria that made the balance lean in favor of Sanity.io:

• Great out-of-the-box editing experience
• Fully hosted—no need to manage this in our infrastructure
• Open source and customizable
• Excellent API for both querying & writing
• Webhooks allowing us to rebuild the doc after content edits

Starting a Sanity project is straightforward. In a newly created repo, run sanity init.

Then, define a few document types and, if your heart feels like it, create some custom components to tailor editing to your specific needs. Even if you embark on a customization spree, this won’t prevent you to from deploying your CMS on Sanity—that’s where it truly shines, because high customizability is quite a rare trait in hosted solutions.

Sanity’s API was also a breath of fresh air.

GROQ, their querying language, is a welcome addition to the ecosystem. Think GraphQL, without always being required to be explicit about all the fields you want in a query (or being able to query polymorphic data without feeling like the Labours of Hercules).

Furthermore, modifications can be scoped in a transaction which allows us to batch updates to multiple documents from our theme and SDK build process. Combine this with webhooks, and it ensures we only trigger documentation deploys once for many changes from our theme and SDK repositories.
