Usage

{
  ...
  "scripts": {
    "build:demo": "oranda",
    ....
  }

Usage with npx

If you just want a quick fancy HTML page from the Readme but don't care about running this in continuous deployment you can also use npx to run it as a one time thing.

npx oranda

By running this in the root folder you will also get a public folder

Options

Options can be placed in one of three ways:

.oranda.config.json placed in the root
oranda key in package.json
package.metadata.oranda section in the Cargo.toml

It can contain the following options:

deployment	`{}`	Deployment options for github pages. Accepts all options here
downloads	`{}`	Links to download binaries or ways to install package, example below

Example of downloads

Let's say you have an app that can be install in several operating systems, you can create an object like so:

{
  "downloads": {
    "linux": {
      "link": "https://my-app.com/my-app-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz",
      "description": "this is my description if I want one",
      "changelog": "https://my-app.com/changelog.md"
    },
    "windows": {
      "link": "https://my-app.com/my-app-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.tar.gz"
    },
    "mac": {
      "link": "https://my-app.com/my-app-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz"
    }
  }
}

Oranda will automatically try to recognize the user OS and highlight the correct OS and highlight that option.

There is an example of it on the CLI for Let's play retro games

This can also be used to demonstrate different package managers that one can use to install the package:

{
  "downloads": {
    "npm": {
      "text": "npm i oranda"
    },
    "yarn": {
      "text": "yarn add oranda"
    },
    "pnpm": {
      "text": "pnpm install oranda"
    }
  }
}

All objects accept the following keys:

{
  "text": "Any text you want to show like a way to install, this will be automatically highlighted as a bash script",
  "link": "Where can people download your package?",
  "description": "Any description you want to show the user before downloading",
  "changelog": "A link to your changelog"
}

Example of styles

For styles you can either use a style object like so and that will override the default styles applied. Like so:

{
  "styles": {
    "h1": {
      "color": "blue",
      "backgroundColor": "red"
    }
  }
}

Another option is to give the path to a local css or scss file. In this case you need to override any specificity issues. You can by using the #oranda id. Example:

body {
  background: #fff;
}

#oranda {
  h1 {
    text-transform: uppercase;
  }
}

Meta Tags

To create any meta tags it uses an array system like so:

  "meta": [
    { "name": "description", "content": "A cool page" },
    { "property": "robots", "content": "robots.txt" }
  ]

This will create the following HTML:

<meta name="description" content="A cool page" />
<meta property="robots" content="robots.txt" />

The first key on the object can have any name and will be applied as presented, the second one must have the name of content and will work as presented above.

Images

Any images linked in your markdown that are local will be minified and copied to your dist folder. If some image is not found it will be ignored.

GitHub Corner

The GitHub corner comes from either the repo option in your .oranda.config.json or from the repository url in your package.json. If none is present it will not be shown.
