Hugo-native templates for API
reference documentation. Operations render as server-side HTML instead
of client-side Redoc, providing faster page loads, full SEO
indexability, and consistent styling.
Architecture:
- Tag-based navigation: operations grouped by OpenAPI tag, accessed
via tag pages only (no individual operation URLs)
- Generation script auto-discovers products from .config.yml files,
deriving Hugo paths and menu keys from directory structure
- Per-tag JSON/YAML chunks for fast Hugo template rendering
- Inline curl examples generated from OpenAPI specs at build time
Templates (layouts/api/, layouts/partials/api/):
- tag-renderer.html: renders all operations for a tag
- operation.html: individual operation with parameters, request body,
responses, and schema rendering
- code-sample.html: curl examples with Ask AI integration
- section-children.html: tag listing on section index pages
- all-endpoints-list.html: all operations sorted by path
Generation (api-docs/scripts/generate-openapi-articles.ts):
- Auto-discovery from .config.yml replaces hardcoded productConfigs
- Each API section generates independently (no cross-spec merging)
- Frontmatter-driven template data (specDownloadPath, articleDataKey)
- Link transformation: /influxdb/version/ placeholders resolved to
product-specific paths
Removed:
- Redoc renderer, JavaScript components, and CSS
- Shadow DOM test infrastructure (~160 lines)
- Operation page generation (dead generatePathPages function)
- mergeArticleData() and slugifyDisplayName()
Styles (assets/styles/layouts/_api-*.scss):
- 3-column layout: sidebar, content, sticky TOC
- Theme-aware code blocks for curl examples
- Method badges (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE) with color coding
- Collapsible schema sections with depth tracking
Tests (cypress/e2e/content/api-reference.cy.js):
- Tag page rendering with operation structure
- Download button verification per section
- All-endpoints page with operation cards
- Related links from x-related OpenAPI extension
- Code sample and Ask AI link validation
* fix(influxdb3): source comments
* docs(influxdb3): fix plugin path handling and improve Get Started clarity
Fixes issues with plugin filename resolution and improves progressive
disclosure in the processing engine Get Started guide.
- Update `--plugin` flag to `--path` (current CLI syntax)
- Clarify plugin filename must be provided without relative/absolute paths
- Add note explaining path resolution relative to `--plugin-dir`
- Document single-file vs multi-file plugin path requirements
- Link to detailed multi-file plugin structure documentation
- Add "Before you begin" section listing required setup steps
- Add prerequisites to table of contents
- Improve progressive disclosure by front-loading essentials
- Update trigger type from "Data write" to "WAL rows" (consistent with `influxdb3 create trigger --help`) with WAL link
- Replace `--plugin` with `--path` in trigger creation example
- Fix syntax error in enable trigger example (missing backslash)
- Clarify plugin example as "data write (WAL) plugin"
- Update code comments for clarity and remove outdated notes
- Specify "wal_rows trigger specification" terminology
- Specify testing "process_writes (WAL) plugin" for clarity
- Reference multiple test commands, not just wal_plugin
- Add link to schedule_plugin test command
- Clarify that PLUGIN_FILENAME should be filename only
- Prevents path resolution errors users encountered
- Aligns documentation with current CLI behavior
- Improves Get Started guide readability and flow
- Reduces confusion about plugin file handling
Closes#588
* docs(influxdb3): Docker Compose optional plugin directory
- Added inline comments to Docker Compose examples: `# Optional: only
needed for processing engine plugins`
- Appears for both `--plugin-dir` flag and volume mount
- Helps users understand they can skip this if not using plugins
- Better progressive disclosure - users see it's optional without
needing separate explanation
* docs(influxdb3): Replace --plugin-filename with --path
- Uses `--path` for plugins, replacing deprecated `--plugin-filename`
- Replaces "Data write" with "WAL rows" to be consistent with CLI help
docs
* Update content/shared/influxdb3-get-started/processing-engine.md
* fix(deps): add missing yarn.lock updates for puppeteer
The puppeteer dependency was added to package.json in commit 784956a31
but yarn.lock was not updated, causing CI failures with --frozen-lockfile.
* chore(deps): upgrade puppeteer to 24.35.0
- Upgrade puppeteer from 23.11.1 to 24.35.0
- Fix deprecated page.waitForTimeout() - replaced with Promise/setTimeout
- Fix deprecated headless: 'new' - now just uses headless boolean
The 'new' headless mode is now the default in Puppeteer 24.
Add Puppeteer utilities and scripts to enable AI agents to interactively
test and debug the documentation site during development.
Dependencies: puppeteer, pixelmatch, pngjs
Scripts: debug:browser, debug:screenshot, debug:inspect
Tools: 20+ helper functions, example scripts, comprehensive documentation
Enables AI agents to visually debug pages, test components, monitor
performance, and detect issues during development.
