Overview

This repository contains the sources of AsyncAPI website:

• It's powered by Next.js,
• It uses Tailwind CSS framework,
• It's build and deployed with Netlify.

Requirements

Use the following tools to set up the project:

• Node.js v16.0.0+
• npm v7.10.0+

Run locally

1. Fork the repository by clicking on Fork option on top right of the main repository.

2. Open Command Prompt on your local computer.

3. Clone the forked repository by adding your own GitHub username in place of <username>. For multiple contributions it is recommended to have proper configuration of forked repo.

    git clone https://github.com/<username>/website/

4. Navigate to the website directory.

    cd website

5. Install all website dependencies.

    npm install

6. Run the website locally.

    npm run dev

7. Access the live development server at localhost:3000.

Compose new blog post

To bootstrap a new post, run this command:

    npm run write:blog

Follow the interactive prompt to generate a post with pre-filled front matter.

Spin up Gitpod codespace

In order to prepare and spin up a Gitpod dev environment for our project, we configured our workspace through a .gitpod.yml file.

To spin up a Gitpod codespace, go to http://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/asyncapi/website.

Build

To build a production-ready website, run the following command:

npm run build

Generated files of the website go to the .next folder.

Run locally using Docker

Prerequisites:

• install Docker

After cloning repository to your local, perform the following steps from the root of the repository.

Steps:

1. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -t asyncapi-website .`

2. Start the container:

   docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/async -p 3000:3000 asyncapi-website

Now you're running AsyncAPI website in a development mode. Container is mapped with your local copy of the website. Whenever you make changes to the code, the website will refresh and changes visible in localhost:3000.

Updating information about project finance

AsyncAPI Financial Summary page aims to provide transparency and clarity regarding the organization's financial activities. It serves as a platform to showcase how donations are accepted, different sponsorship options, and how the generated funds are utilized.

How to update information

• YAML files must be stored in the config/finance directory.

• Create separate folders for each year under config/finance, such as config/finance/2023. Inside each year's folder, include two YAML files: Expenses.yml and ExpensesLink.yml.

• In Expenses.yml, record expenses for each month, specifying the Category and Amount.

• In ExpensesLink.yml, provide discussion links related to expense categories.

• When a new year begins, create a corresponding folder for that year under config/finance and place the YAML files inside the folder for that specific year. For example, create a folder named config/finance/2024 for the year 2024 and config/finance/2025 for the year 2025. Place the YAML file for each respective year inside its designated folder.

• Modify the years within the scripts/finance/index.js , lib/getUniqueCategories.js and components/FinancialSummary/BarChartComponent.js to handle data for different years effectively.

Case studies

Overview

A case study is a special document that any end-user company can provide. An end-user company is a company that uses AsyncAPI to solve technical challenges. A case study is not a document where a vendor company can describe how they build their commercial AsyncAPI-based product. On the other hand, it is completely fine if a case study of some end-user mentions some commercial tools that helped them to work with AsyncAPI or event-driven architecture. An example of such a case can be a case study from an end-user where at some point, Confluent Schema Registry is mentioned in an explanation about schemas and runtime message validation.

How to add a case study

A case study is documented in the form of a YAML file. Anyone can open a pull request with a new case study.

• YAML file must be located in config/casestudies.
• To make it easier for you to create such a YAML file you can use:
  • Template YAML with comments explaining every section
  • JSON Schema that describes all YAML fields
• All additional files for the case study, like complete AsyncAPI document examples, should be located in the public/resources/casestudies directory.
• Company logo and other images that will be rendered in the website should be located in public/img/casestudies.

Once you collect all information and create a case study, open a pull request. It must be authored or at least approved by a representative of the given company. Such a representative is probably already a contact person mentioned in the case study.

A case study becomes publicly available right after merging and rebuilding the website.

JSON Schema definitions

All AsyncAPI JSON Schema definition files are being served within the /definitions/<file> path. The content is being served from GH, in particular from https://github.com/asyncapi/spec-json-schemas/tree/master/schemas. This is possible thanks to the following:

1. A Netlify Rewrite rule located in the netlify.toml file, which acts as proxy for all requests to the /definitions/<file> path, serving the content from GH without having an HTTP redirect.
2. A Netlify Edge Function that modifies the Content-Type header of the rewrite response to become application/schema+json. This lets tooling, such as Hyperjump, to fetch the schemas directly from their URL.
