| 86 | +## Usage |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +### Development |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +```bash |
| 91 | +# Start local dev server (with hot reload) |
| 92 | +pnpm docs:dev |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +# Opens at http://localhost:5175 (or next available port) |
| 95 | +``` |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +### Build & Preview |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +```bash |
| 100 | +# Build for production |
| 101 | +pnpm docs:build |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +# Preview production build |
| 104 | +pnpm docs:preview |
| 105 | +``` |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +### Deploy to GitHub Pages |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +1. **Enable GitHub Pages** in your repository settings: |
| 110 | + - Go to Settings → Pages |
| 111 | + - Source: GitHub Actions |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +2. **Push to main branch** - The workflow will automatically build and deploy |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +3. **Your docs will be live at:** |
| 116 | + - `https://<username>.github.io/<repo-name>/` |
| 117 | + - Example: `https://quickflo.github.io/quickforms/` |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +## Next Steps |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +### Content to Add |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +The following pages are stubbed out or need to be created: |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +#### High Priority |
| 126 | +1. **`guide/complex-types.md`** - Nested objects, arrays, oneOf/anyOf/allOf |
| 127 | +2. **`guide/custom-validators.md`** - Sync/async validation examples |
| 128 | +3. **`guide/theming.md`** - CSS variables and styling guide |
| 129 | +4. **`api/schema-extensions.md`** - Document all `x-*` attributes |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +#### Medium Priority |
| 132 | +5. **`api/components.md`** - DynamicForm, field components reference |
| 133 | +6. **`api/composables.md`** - useFormField, useFormContext docs |

| 144 | + |
| 145 | +### Extracting Content from README |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +Your main README is quite comprehensive. Consider extracting these sections: |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +- **Validation section** → `guide/validation.md` (partially done) |
| 150 | +- **Complex types examples** → `guide/complex-types.md` |
| 151 | +- **Custom validators section** → `guide/custom-validators.md` |
| 152 | +- **Theming section** → `guide/theming.md` |
| 153 | +- **RBAC section** → `guide/rbac.md` |
| 154 | +- **i18n section** → `guide/i18n.md` |
| 155 | +- **Supported JSON Schema features** → `api/schema-extensions.md` |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +### Updating the Main README |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +Once docs are complete, simplify the main README to: |
| 160 | +- Brief introduction |
| 161 | +- Quick install and example |
| 162 | +- Link to full documentation |
| 163 | +- Contributing guidelines |
| 164 | +- License |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +## Features |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +### What Works Out of the Box |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +- ✅ **Beautiful UI** - Purple-themed, modern design |
| 171 | +- ✅ **Search** - Full-text search across all docs |
| 172 | +- ✅ **Code highlighting** - Syntax highlighting for Vue, TypeScript, etc. |
| 173 | +- ✅ **Code groups** - Tab-based code examples (pnpm/npm/yarn) |
| 174 | +- ✅ **Navigation** - Automatic sidebar and page navigation |
| 175 | +- ✅ **Mobile responsive** - Works great on all devices |
| 176 | +- ✅ **Dark mode** - Automatic theme switching |
| 177 | +- ✅ **Fast** - Built with Vite, instant HMR |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +### Customization Options |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +The theme is already customized with QuickForms branding: |
| 182 | +- Purple color scheme (`#8b5cf6`) |
| 183 | +- Custom hero gradient |
| 184 | +- QuickForms logo support (add `docs/public/logo.svg`) |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +To further customize, edit: |
| 187 | +- `docs/.vitepress/config.mts` - Site configuration |
| 188 | +- `docs/.vitepress/theme/custom.css` - Styling |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +## Assets |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +Add the following assets to `docs/public/`: |
| 193 | +- `logo.svg` - QuickForms logo for navigation |
| 194 | +- Copy `docs/assets/banner.readme.1280x320.png` to `docs/public/assets/` for homepage |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +## Tips |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +1. **Keep README concise** - Now that you have docs, the README can be much shorter |
| 199 | +2. **Link to docs** - Add a prominent "Documentation" link in README |
| 200 | +3. **Use VitePress features**: |
| 201 | + - `::: warning` / `::: tip` / `::: danger` callouts |
| 202 | + - Code groups for multi-language examples |
| 203 | + - Custom components in markdown |
| 204 | +4. **Test examples** - Make sure all code examples actually work |
| 205 | +5. **Internal linking** - Use relative paths: `[Link](/guide/page)` |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +## Maintenance |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +- Update VitePress: `pnpm add -D vitepress@latest` |
| 210 | +- Check for broken links: VitePress has built-in dead link checking |
| 211 | +- Review analytics: Consider adding Google Analytics or similar |
| 212 | + |
