Next.js and Fumadocs site for Stately's product and package documentation.

Requires Node.js 24 or newer and pnpm 11.

pnpm install
pnpm dev

The Portless URL is printed in the terminal. pnpm dev syncs external docs and rebuilds the search index before starting Next.js.

This repo can ingest docs content from other statelyai/* repos and mount it under a configured stately.ai/docs/... route.

The external docs manifest lives in docs-sources.json:

Each entry means:

• name: display name in the docs sidebar
• package: stable source key and default route segment
• source: repo root or repo subpath to scan for docs content
• notice: optional source-wide callout shown on every page
• ref: Git branch or tag; defaults to main
• include: optional Markdown glob allowlist relative to source
• mounts: optional source-directory to route-directory mappings
• mode: optional; "workspace" compiles a locked GitHub checkout directly; "snapshot" commits generated docs for private sources
• route: optional public route prefix under /docs; defaults to packages/<package>

The sync pipeline is implemented in scripts/docs-sync.mjs.

For a "workspace" source, pnpm docs:lock resolves ref to an immutable commit in docs-sources.lock.json. Normal syncs check out that commit into .cache/docs-sources/<repo>/<commit>. Fumadocs compiles the allowlisted files directly as a workspace; the sync does not copy or rewrite Markdown. A clean checkout already at the locked commit is reused without contacting GitHub. pnpm docs:watch explicitly uses available sibling clones instead, so local workspace documentation edits appear immediately during development.

Other sources use the compatibility pipeline: resolve ../<repo> locally, scan the configured allowlist, flatten pages into a generated workspace, add missing frontmatter, rewrite links/assets, and derive navigation. The app never copies external docs into content/docs.

Snapshot sources are different: they write to external-docs/<package> so the generated docs can be committed. In CI, if the private local source repo is not available, the sync step uses the committed snapshot instead of cloning GitHub.

Use pnpm docs:lock intentionally to advance workspace sources to the latest commit on their configured ref. Normal builds only consume the recorded commit, so a branch update cannot silently change a deployment.

Workspace sources preserve their relative hierarchy under route. When mounts are configured, each source directory maps to its mount route and its README.md(x) maps to that route's index. Nested docs/meta.json files control workspace navigation order and visibility.

Compatibility and snapshot sources flatten pages into their route namespace:

• Root README.md becomes the route index.
• Included nested **/README.md(x) become their parent path:
  • src/formats/adjacency-list/README.md -> src-formats-adjacency-list.md
• docs/**/*.{md,mdx} flatten into the same route namespace.
• Optional frontmatter slug overrides the flattened route segment.
• Duplicate flattened slugs fail the sync.
• A Fumadocs docs/meta.json pages array controls navigation order and visibility using the flattened page slugs.

For synced external docs, the pipeline also derives:

• title if frontmatter is missing
• description if frontmatter is missing
• sourcePath and sourceUrl pointing to the original file in GitHub

The first H1 in synced pages is stripped so the page title only renders once. Linked source files and directories stay on GitHub. Only embedded local images are copied into _assets.

Sources can overlap inside the same repo. More specific sources win.

Example:

• { "name": "SDK", "package": "sdk", "source": "viz/packages/sdk" }
• { "name": "Viz", "package": "viz", "source": "viz" }

In that case, viz automatically skips the packages/sdk subtree so the SDK docs are not indexed twice.

• pnpm docs:lock: update immutable workspace revisions, then sync
• pnpm docs:sync: sync external workspaces at their recorded revisions
• pnpm docs:generate: sync external workspaces and regenerate Fumadocs output
• pnpm docs:watch: use and watch available sibling source repos, then regenerate
• pnpm dev: run the app after a sync pass
• pnpm build: run sync and then a production build
