# InvenTree Documentation
|
|
|
|
[](https://inventree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)
|
|
|
|
This repository hosts the [official documentation](https://inventree.readthedocs.io/) for [InvenTree](https://github.com/inventree/inventree), an open source inventory management system.
|
|
|
|
To serve this documentation locally (e.g. for development), you will need to have Python 3 installed on your system.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Run the following commands from the top-level project directory:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/inventree/inventree
|
|
$ cd inventree/docs
|
|
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Serve Locally
|
|
|
|
To serve the pages locally, run the following command (from the top-level project directory):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ mkdocs serve -f docs/mkdocs.yml -a localhost:8080
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Edit Documentation Files
|
|
|
|
Once the server is running, it will monitor the documentation files for any changes, and update the served pages.
|
|
|
|
### Admonitions
|
|
|
|
"Admonition" blocks can be added as follow:
|
|
```
|
|
!!! info "This is the admonition block title"
|
|
This is the admonition block content
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Refer to the [reference documentation](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/reference/admonitions/) to customize the admonition block to the use-case (eg. warning, missing, info, etc.).
|
|
|
|
### Internal Links
|
|
|
|
Links to internal documentation pages **must** use relative pathing, otherwise the link will be broken by the readthedocs URL formatting.
|
|
|
|
Also, linking to an internal page must use the `.md` suffix!
|
|
|
|
For example, to link to the page `/part/views` from `/stock/stocktake`, the link must be formed as follows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Click [here](../part/views.md)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*Formatting the link as follows:*
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Click [here](/part/views)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*will result in a broken link.*
|
|
|
|
### Images
|
|
|
|
Images are served from the `./docs/assets/images` folder and can be added as follow:
|
|
```
|
|
{% with id="image_id", url="folder/image_name.png", description="Text shown if image is not loaded properly" %}
|
|
{% include 'img.html' %}
|
|
{% endwith %}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace:
|
|
* `image_id` with a short unique identifier for the image (most commonly, `image_id` is same as `image_name`)
|
|
* `folder` with the folder in `docs/assets/images` in which the image is stored
|
|
* `image_name` with the name of the image
|
|
* `.png` with the image extension (PNG or JPEG are preferred formats)
|
|
|
|
### Global variables
|
|
|
|
Refer to the [reference documentation](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/reference/variables/#using-custom-variables) to find out how to add global variables to the documentation site.
|
|
|
|
Global variables should be added in the `# Global Variables` section of the `mkdocs.yml` configuration file.
