Adobe App Builder Documentation

Adobe App Builder documentation site deployed to EDS. The production address is https://developer.adobe.com/app-builder/

Quick Start

For local development, you need to start three servers:

1. Main dev server (this repo):

npm run dev

2. ADP Devsite (adp-devsite):

git clone https://github.com/AdobeDocs/adp-devsite
cd adp-devsite
npm install
npm run dev

3. Runtime connector (devsite-runtime-connector):

git clone https://github.com/aemsites/devsite-runtime-connector
cd devsite-runtime-connector
npm install
npm run dev

Once all three servers are running, navigate to http://localhost:3000/

Commands

Development

• npm run dev - Start local server (requires other services above)

Content Management

• npm run buildNavigation - Generate navigation structure (one-time Gatsby migration only)
• npm run buildRedirections - Build URL redirections (one-time Gatsby migration only)
• npm run renameFiles - Rename files to Adobe conventions
• npm run normalizeLinks - Normalize internal/external links

Validation

• npm run lint - Run linting checks

Site Features

• npm run buildSiteWideBanner - Generate site-wide banner

All commands use @AdobeDocs/adp-devsite-utils for standardized tooling.

Linting

Automated: Runs on PRs when src/pages/** files change Manual: npm run lint

Validates markdown syntax, links, content structure, and Adobe style guidelines.

Troubleshooting: If pages are not showing up as expected, check lint warnings to identify potential issues.

Navigation

To update navigation structure:

1. Edit src/pages/config.md directly

Note: npm run buildNavigation is only needed for initial Gatsby migration.

Redirects

To manage URL redirections:

1. Edit src/pages/redirects.json directly

Note: npm run buildRedirections is only needed for initial Gatsby migration.
