Documentation gaps: Missing minimal examples and setup guide for dovenv docs #6

Description

@metaory

Problem

The dovenv core documentation lacks clear, minimal, complete examples for setting up dovenv docs. New users struggle to:

  1. Understand the required directory structure
  2. Know which files are needed (.dovenv/const.js, .dovenv/main.js, dovenv.config.js)
  3. Configure getWorkspaceConfig for different project types (single-package vs monorepo)
  4. Set up the docs configuration properly

Current State

  • Documentation exists but is fragmented
  • No minimal working example
  • No template repository
  • Setup process requires reverse-engineering from existing projects

Requested Improvements

  1. Minimal complete example in the docs showing:

    • Required file structure
    • Basic dovenv.config.js setup
    • Single-package vs monorepo configurations
  2. Template repositories for:

    • Single-package projects (minimal library setup)
    • Monorepo projects (workspace with packages)
    • Both with working minimal setups and clear READMEs explaining the structure
  3. Setup guide covering:

    • Step-by-step installation
    • Configuration file purposes
    • Common pitfalls and solutions

Impact

Without clear examples, users must:

  • Study existing projects (like SIZIUM) to understand setup
  • Trial-and-error configuration
  • Encounter unclear errors when setup is incomplete

A template repo or minimal example would significantly improve developer experience and onboarding.
