Local Development

Mintlify provides a local development CLI for previewing documentation changes:

# Install Mintlify CLI globally (one-time setup)
npm install -g mintlify

# Start local development server
mintlify dev

# The documentation will be available at http://localhost:3000

The local server provides:

• Hot reloading for instant content updates
• Navigation preview
• Component rendering
• Dark/light mode testing

Writing Documentation

Content Format

All documentation is written in MDX (Markdown with JSX components):

---
title: Your Page Title
description: A brief description of the page content
---

# Your Page Title

Write your content here using standard Markdown syntax.

Use Mintlify components for callouts and special content blocks.

Steps:

  
    Run `npm install` to install required packages
  
  
    Set up your environment variables
  
  
    Run `npm run dev` to start the development server
  

Navigation Configuration

Navigation is controlled via docs.json:

• Tabs: Top-level navigation sections (General, Self Hosted, Frontend Development, etc.)
• Groups: Subsections within each tab
• Pages: Individual documentation pages

To add a new page:

1. Create the .mdx file in the appropriate directory
2. Add the page path to docs.json under the relevant group
3. Test locally with mintlify dev

Content Guidelines

File Naming:

• Use kebab-case: my-new-page.mdx
• Index files represent the directory: index.mdx

Links:

• Use absolute paths from documentation root: /development/backend/api/index
• Mintlify automatically handles .mdx extensions

Images:

• Store in assets/images/ with logical subdirectories
• Reference with absolute paths: /assets/images/logo/dark.webp
• Optimize images before committing (compress file sizes)

Frontmatter:

---
title: Page Title (required)
description: Page description for SEO (required)
---

Asset Management

Images and Diagrams

1. Diagrams: Create with draw.io
2. Export Format: PNG or WebP
3. Optimization: Compress images before committing
4. Location: Store in assets/images/ with appropriate subdirectories

Contributing Guidelines

Workflow

1. Fork or Branch: Create a feature branch from main
2. Write Content: Add or update documentation in MDX format
3. Test Locally: Run mintlify dev to preview changes
4. Submit PR: Create a pull request to main branch
5. Review: Wait for review and address feedback
6. Merge: Changes are automatically deployed after merge

Pull Request Guidelines

• Write clear commit messages
• Test all links and navigation
• Verify code examples are correct
• Check for spelling and grammar
• Ensure images load correctly
• Preview on mobile and desktop layouts

Documentation Standards

Writing Style:

• Write in clear, concise language
• Use active voice
• Address the reader directly ("you")
• Avoid jargon without explanation
• Include code examples where helpful

Code Examples:

• Include complete, working examples
• Add comments for clarity
• Show expected output when relevant
• Test all code before committing

Structure:

• Start with overview/introduction
• Progress from basic to advanced
• Use descriptive section headers
• Include related documentation links at the end

Deployment

Automatic Deployment

Mintlify automatically deploys documentation when changes are merged to main:

• Trigger: Push or merge to main branch
• Build: Mintlify builds the documentation
• Deploy: Changes go live at docs.deploystack.io
• CDN: Content served via Mintlify's global CDN

Branch Strategy

• main: Production branch that deploys to docs.deploystack.io
• Feature Branches: Create from main for new content or updates
• Pull Requests: All changes must go through PR review
