# Codex documentation
Welcome to Codex documentation.
Codex is a decentralised data storage platform that provides exceptionally strong censorship resistance and durability guarantees.
## Run and build
For documentation we use [VitePress](https://vitepress.dev/), which is [Vue](https://vuejs.org/)-powered static site generator built on top of [Vite](https://vitejs.dev/).
To run site locally, we should clone repository, install dependencies and run the following command
```shell
npm run docs:dev
```
<details>
<summary>Detailed guide</summary>
1. [Install](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager) node 20 or [above](https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases)
Using [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)
```shell
# nvm
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.0/install.sh | bash
# Node 22
nvm install 22
nvm use 22
# Check
node --version
v22.6.0
```
2. Clone repository
```shell
git clone https://github.com/codex-storage/codex-docs
cd codex-docs
```
3. Install dependencies
```shell
npm install
```
4. Start a local dev server with instant hot updates
```shell
# Local
npm run docs:dev
# Expose
npm run docs:dev -- --host
```
5. [Build the site](https://vitepress.dev/guide/deploy)
```shell
npm run docs:build
# .vitepress/dist
```

## Internationalization
We are using built-in [i18n features for Internationalization support](https://vitepress.dev/guide/i18n).
In order to add a new language version of the docs it is required
1. Create a folder with a name of the two letter language code - `ko` for Korean, please check [List of ISO 639 language codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639_language_codes).
2. Copy and translate required pages. It make sense to use English pages as a source as it is the primary language. Pages are located inside the repository sub-folders
- *codex*
- *developers*
- *learn*
- *networks*
After translation, we will have a new folder with all sub-folders
```
ko
├── codex
├── developers
├── learn
└── networks
```
3. If you need to translate images, they are located inside a *public* folder. After translation, add a language suffix to the language specific file, for example *public/learn/architecture-`ko`.png*.
Then, update the docs to use a language specific image.
4. Add new language to the site config file - [*.vitepress/config.mts*](.vitepress/config.mts)
```json
// Korean
ko: {
label: '한국어',
lang: 'ko-KP',
link: '/ko',
themeConfig: {}
}
```
- `label` - Native language name from [List of ISO 639 language codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639_language_codes)
- `lang` - [\<Language code\>](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639_language_codes)-[\<Country code\>](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1)
- `link` - link to the index document located in the language specific folder
- `themeConfig` - contains translation of the site elements like Nav/Side bar, etc.
After performed changes, we should have a documentation site in a newly added language.
