| # Contribute to Plotly's [JavaScript Documentation](https://plotly.com/javascript/) | ||
|
|
||
| Plotly welcomes contributions to its [open-source JavaScript graphing libraries documentation](https://plotly.com/javascript) from its community of users. | ||
|
|
||
| Our JavaScript tutorials are written in HTML files in the `_posts/plotly_js` directory of this repository. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Contribute Quickly to Plotly's JavaScript Graphing Library Documentation | ||
|
|
||
| To quickly make a contribution to Plotly's JavaScript graphing libraries documentation, simply submit a pull request with the change you would like to suggest. This can be done using the GitHub graphical user interface at https://github.com/plotly/graphing-library-docs. | ||
|
|
||
| The easiest way to do this is to follow the `Edit this page on GitHub` link at the top right of the page you are interested in contributing to: | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| **You don't have to worry about breaking the site when you submit a pull request!** This is because your change will not be merged to production immediately. A Plotly team member will first perform a code review on your pull request in order to ensure that it definitely increases the health of Plotly's graphing libraries codebase. | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment. This readme should be updated to have the new steps |
||
|
|
||
| ## Develop Locally | ||
|
|
||
| For contributions such as new example posts, we recommend setting up a local development environment so that you can test your changes as you work on them. | ||
|
|
||
| **See the `How To Get The Application Working Locally` section of the [Contributing Guide](https://github.com/plotly/graphing-library-docs/blob/master/Contributing.md) to learn how to clone this repository to your local development environment and install its dependencies.** | ||
|
|
||
| Then follow these instructions to create or modify a new post. If the post is the first of its chart type, you need to create an index page for it first. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Create An Index Page For A New Chart Type: | ||
|
|
||
| If you are documenting a new chart type, then you need to create an index page for it before creating the actual example page. | ||
|
|
||
| 1. In `documentation/_posts/plotly_js`, create a folder titled with the chart type or topic you're adding to the documentation (i.e. `bar`). | ||
|
|
||
| 2. `cd` into the folder you created and create an HTML index file for the chart type named: `yyyy-mm-dd-chart_type_plotly_js_index.html`. Copy the index file template below. Make sure to replace placeholder text! | ||
| ``` | ||
| --- | ||
| name: Add-Chart-Type-or-Topic | ||
| permalink: javascript/add-chart-type-or-topic/ | ||
| description: How to make a D3.js-based add-chart-type-or-topic in javascript. Add an additional sentence summarizing chart-type or topic. | ||
| layout: langindex | ||
| thumbnail: thumbnail/mixed.jpg | ||
| language: plotly_js | ||
| page_type: example_index | ||
| display_as: **SEE BELOW | ||
| order: 5 | ||
| --- | ||
| {% assign examples = site.posts | where:"language","plotly_js" | where:"suite","add-chart-type-or-topic"| sort: "order" %} | ||
| {% include posts/auto_examples.html examples=examples %} | ||
| ``` | ||
| - Make sure to update `_includes/posts/documentation_eg.html`, `_includes/layouts/side-bar.html`, and `_data/display_as_py_r_js.yml` and the CI python scripts with the new chart type! | ||
|
|
||
| - Index pages for chart categories must have `order: 5`. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Create A New Example Post: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. In the folder containing the examples for the chart type you are writing documentation for, create a file named: `yyyy-mm-dd-example-title.html`. | ||
|
|
||
| 2. Copy the example post template below and write JavaScript code to demonstrate the feature you are documenting. | ||
| - If `plot_url` front-matter is not present, then the resulting chart will be displayed inline and a `Try It Codepen` button will be automatically generated. | ||
| - If `plot_url` front-matter is present, then the URL given will be embedded in an `iframe` below the example. | ||
| ``` | ||
| --- | ||
| description: How to make a D3.js-based bar chart in javascript. Seven examples of | ||
| grouped, stacked, overlaid, and colored bar charts. | ||
| display_as: basic | ||
| language: plotly_js | ||
| layout: base | ||
| name: Bar Charts | ||
| order: 3 | ||
| page_type: example_index | ||
| permalink: javascript/bar-charts/ | ||
| redirect_from: javascript-graphing-library/bar-charts/ | ||
| thumbnail: thumbnail/bar.jpg **MORE INFO ON ADDING THUMBNAILS BELOW | ||
| markdown_content: | | ||
| indented content in markdown format which will prefix an example ****SEE BELOW | ||
| --- | ||
| var data = [ | ||
| { | ||
| x: ['giraffes', 'orangutans', 'monkeys'], | ||
| y: [20, 14, 23], | ||
| type: 'bar' | ||
| }The | ||
| ]; | ||
| Plotly.newPlot('myDiv', data); | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| - `display_as` sets where your tutorial is displayed. Make sure to update `_includes/posts/documentation_eg.html` with the new chart type!: | ||
| - 'file_settings' = https://plotly.com/javascript/plotly-fundamentals | ||
| - 'basic' = https://plotly.com/javascript/basic-charts | ||
| - 'statistical' = https://plotly.com/javascript/statistical-charts | ||
| - 'scientific' = https://plotly.com/javascript/scientific-charts | ||
| - 'financial' = https://plotly.com/javascript/financial-charts | ||
| - 'maps' = https://plotly.com/javascript/maps | ||
| - '3d_charts' = https://plotly.com/javascript/3d-charts | ||
| - See additional options [HERE](https://github.com/plotly/graphing-library-docs/blob/master/_includes/posts/documentation_eg.html#L1) | ||
|
|
||
| - `order` defines the order in which the tutorials appear in each section on plot.ly/javascript. | ||
| - <b>Note</b> The `order` of posts within a `display_as` must be a set of consecutive integers (i.e. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...]). | ||
| - If a post has an `order` less than 5, it **MUST** also have the `page_type: example_index` front-matter so that it gets displayed on the index page. | ||
|
|
||
| - `markdown_content` is rendered directly above the examples. In general, it is best to *avoid* paragraph-formatted explanation and let the simplicity of the example speak for itself, but that's not always possible. Take note that headings in this block *are* reflected in the sidebar. | ||
|
|
||
| - Thumbnail images should named `your-tutorial-chart.jpg` and be *EXACTLY* 160px X 160px. | ||
| - posts in the following `display_as` categories **MUST** have a thumbnail | ||
| - 'file_settings' = https://plotly.com/javascript/plotly-fundamentals | ||
| - 'basic' = https://plotly.com/javascript/basic-charts | ||
| - 'statistical' = https://plotly.com/javascript/statistical-charts | ||
| - 'scientific' = https://plotly.com/javascript/scientific-charts | ||
| - 'financial' = https://plotly.com/javascript/financial-charts | ||
| - 'maps' = https://plotly.com/javascript/maps | ||
| - '3d_charts' = https://plotly.com/javascript/3d-charts | ||
| - Thumbnail images should be clear and interesting. You do not need to capture the ENTIRE chart, but rather focus on the most interesting part of the chart. | ||
| - Use images.plot.ly for adding new images. The password is in the Plotly 1Password Engineering Vault. | ||
| - Log-in here: https://661924842005.signin.aws.amazon.com/console | ||
| - From the <b>Amazon Web Services Console</b> select <b>S3 (Scalable Storage in the Cloud)</b> then select <b>plotly-tutorials</b> -> <b>plotly-documentation</b> -> <b>thumbnail</b> | ||
| - Now from <b>All Buckets /plotly-tutorials/plotly-documentation/thumbnail</b> select the <b>Actions</b> dropdown and <b>upload</b> your .jpg file | ||
|
|
||
| ## Modify An Existing Post: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Find the post you want to modify in `_posts/plotly_js`. Then, open the HTML file that contains that post and modify either the front-matter or the JavaScript. | ||
|
|
||
| # Best Practices: | ||
| - `order` examples from basic to advanced | ||
| - avoid the use of global JavaScript variables for `data` and `layout`. | ||
| - make the chart display in a DOM element named `myDiv` | ||
| - use the `.newPlot()` function | ||
| - use "real" data to make the examples realistic and useful for users. | ||
| - avoid using random or dummy data as much as humanly possible! Should only be a last resort. | ||
| - upload data files to https://github.com/plotly/datasets as importing data rather than pasting a large chunk of data in the tutorial creates a cleaner example. | ||
| - use `var config = {mapboxAccessToken: "your access token"};` if your chart requires Mapbox authentication. `"your access token` will replaced by Plotly's private token at build time. In development mode, you will need to create a `_data/mapboxtoken.yml` file and paste Plotly's non-URL restricted Mapbox key into it. This is available in 1Password. | ||
