Argent documentation
The Argent documentation site, published at docs.swmansion.com/argent.
Built with Docusaurus and the shared Software Mansion docs theme, @swmansion/t-rex-ui.
The site has no landing page of its own. That is argent.swmansion.com; the root route here redirects to the getting started page.
Development
This site lives at packages/docs but is a standalone npm project with its own lockfile, excluded from the root packages/* workspace glob so its dependencies stay out of the toolkit's lockfile. ESLint still runs from the repo root (npm run lint) with the shared eslint.config.mjs; install this package's dependencies first so the type-aware rules can load tsconfig.json.
cd packages/docs
npm install
npm start # dev server on http://localhost:3000/argent/
npm run build # production build into packages/docs/build
npm run serve # serve the production build
Layout
| Path | Contents |
|---|---|
docs/ |
Documentation pages (MDX), grouped into sidebar categories |
src/pages/ |
The root route, which redirects into the docs |
src/css/ |
Argent color palette, typography and theme overrides |
src/components/ |
Components used from MDX, registered in src/theme/MDXComponents.tsx |
static/img/ |
Logos, favicon and other static assets |
static/video/ |
Encoded screen recordings, see Videos |
Colors in src/css/colors.css are derived from the Argent brand palette used on
argent.swmansion.com.
Videos
Screen recordings go through scripts/encode-video.sh, which produces a
web-sized MP4 and a poster frame in static/video/:
npm run encode:video -- ~/Desktop/tap-flow.mov
Record in the simulator or with QuickTime, then encode. Never commit a GIF: the same ten second capture is around thirty times larger as a GIF than as H.264.
Embed the result with the <Video> component, which is global in MDX and needs
no import:
<Video src="/video/tap-flow.mp4" portrait caption="Tapping through the sign-in flow" />
| Prop | Meaning |
|---|---|
src |
Site-relative path to the MP4 |
portrait |
Caps the height at 480px, for simulator and emulator captures |
poster |
Poster frame; defaults to the sibling .jpg the encode script writes |
caption |
Optional caption rendered below the clip |
width / height |
Intrinsic pixel size, reserves space so the page does not reflow |
Clips are muted and loop on their own. Nothing downloads until the player nears the viewport, playback pauses while it is off screen, and readers who ask for reduced motion get a paused player with controls instead of a loop.
Once static/video/ grows past a few tens of megabytes, move the files behind a
CDN and pass absolute URLs to src rather than growing the git history.
