| 3 | +## Repository Overview |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +This repository contains the documentation website source code for **ast-grep**, a lightning-fast and user-friendly tool for code searching, linting, and rewriting at large scale. The website is built using VitePress and serves as the comprehensive documentation hub for the ast-grep project. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## Technology Stack |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +- **Frontend Framework**: VitePress (static site generator based on Vue.js) |
| 10 | +- **Programming Languages**: |
| 11 | + - TypeScript/JavaScript (website functionality) |
| 12 | + - Rust (WASM compilation for in-browser ast-grep functionality) |
| 13 | +- **Package Manager**: **pnpm** (NOT npm - this is important!) |
| 14 | +- **Build Tools**: |
| 15 | + - wasm-pack (for Rust to WASM compilation) |
| 16 | + - Vite (bundling and development server) |
| 17 | + - Vue TypeScript compiler (vue-tsc) |
| 18 | +- **Linting/Formatting**: |
| 19 | + - oxlint (JavaScript/TypeScript linting) |
| 20 | + - dprint (code formatting) |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +## Important: Package Manager Usage |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +**⚠️ This repository uses pnpm instead of npm!** |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +Always use `pnpm` commands: |
| 27 | +- `pnpm install` (not `npm install`) |
| 28 | +- `pnpm run dev` (not `npm run dev`) |
| 29 | +- `pnpm run build` (not `npm run build`) |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +The project has a `pnpm-lock.yaml` file and is configured to work specifically with pnpm. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +## Development Setup |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +1. **Prerequisites**: |
| 36 | + - Install Rust toolchain |
| 37 | + - Install wasm-pack: `cargo install wasm-pack` |
| 38 | + - Install pnpm: `npm install -g pnpm` |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +2. **Initial Setup**: |
| 41 | + ```bash |
| 42 | + # Build WASM package |
| 43 | + wasm-pack build --target web |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + # Install dependencies |
| 46 | + pnpm install |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | + # Start development server |
| 49 | + pnpm dev |
| 50 | + ``` |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +3. **Development Workflow**: |
| 53 | + - For WASM changes: Rebuild with `wasm-pack build --target web` |
| 54 | + - For website changes: Use `pnpm dev` for hot reloading |
| 55 | + - Visit `localhost:5173` for development preview |

| 76 | +- `pnpm dev`: Start development server with hot reloading |
| 77 | +- `pnpm build`: Build production website |
| 78 | +- `pnpm serve`: Preview production build locally |
| 79 | +- `pnpm lint`: Run linting (oxlint + dprint) |
| 80 | +- `pnpm lint:fix`: Fix linting issues automatically |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +## Coding Guidelines |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +### For TypeScript/JavaScript: |
| 85 | +- Use TypeScript for type safety |
| 86 | +- Follow Vue 3 Composition API patterns |
| 87 | +- Prefer `async/await` over promises |
| 88 | +- Use `const` over `let` when possible |
| 89 | +- Follow existing code style (enforced by oxlint and dprint) |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +### For Rust: |
| 92 | +- Focus on WASM bindings and web-compatible APIs |
| 93 | +- Use `wasm-bindgen` for JavaScript interop |
| 94 | +- Keep WASM bundle size optimized |
| 95 | +- Handle errors gracefully for web environment |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +### For Documentation: |
| 98 | +- Use clear, concise language |
| 99 | +- Include code examples for concepts |
| 100 | +- Test examples in the playground when possible |
| 101 | +- Maintain consistent formatting across pages |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +## WASM Integration |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +The repository includes Rust code that compiles to WebAssembly to provide ast-grep functionality in the browser: |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +- Rust source in `src/` |
| 108 | +- Compiled to `pkg/` directory (git-ignored) |
| 109 | +- Imported as optional dependency: `"ast-grep-wasm": "file:./pkg/"` |
| 110 | +- Used in playground and interactive features |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +## Common Tasks |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +### Adding New Documentation: |
| 115 | +1. Create markdown files in appropriate `website/` subdirectory |
| 116 | +2. Update navigation in `website/.vitepress/config.ts` |
| 117 | +3. Test locally with `pnpm dev` |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +### Updating WASM Functionality: |
| 120 | +1. Modify Rust code in `src/` |
| 121 | +2. Rebuild with `wasm-pack build --target web` |
| 122 | +3. Test integration in browser features |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +### Adding Dependencies: |
| 125 | +- Use `pnpm add <package>` for runtime dependencies |
| 126 | +- Use `pnpm add -D <package>` for development dependencies |
| 127 | +- Update Rust dependencies in `Cargo.toml` if needed |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +## Build and Deployment |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +The website is automatically deployed via GitHub Actions: |
| 132 | +1. Builds WASM package with `wasm-pack` |
| 133 | +2. Installs dependencies with `pnpm` |
| 134 | +3. Builds website with `pnpm build` |
| 135 | +4. Deploys to GitHub Pages |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +## Best Practices |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +1. **Always use pnpm** instead of npm |
| 140 | +2. Test WASM changes thoroughly in browser |
| 141 | +3. Maintain documentation quality and accuracy |
| 142 | +4. Follow existing naming conventions |
| 143 | +5. Update navigation when adding new pages |
| 144 | +6. Ensure examples work in the playground |
| 145 | +7. Keep build times reasonable by optimizing WASM size |
| 146 | +8. Use TypeScript types for better developer experience |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +- **WASM not loading**: Rebuild with `wasm-pack build --target web` |
| 151 | +- **Dependencies issues**: Delete `node_modules` and run `pnpm install` |
| 152 | +- **Build failures**: Check that wasm-pack and pnpm are properly installed |
| 153 | +- **Playground not working**: Ensure tree-sitter WASM files are in `website/public/` |
