Tanka by Example

Tanka by Example is a hands-on introduction to Tanka and Jsonnet using annotated example programs, inspired by the popular gobyexample.com.

Creating examples

Example source is located in src/examples/<example_path>. To create a new one, make a new folder in that directory and add a .x.yml file to it:

title: Hello World # <title>, also shown in index and <h1>
description: A warm welcome to tkbyexample # <meta name=description>

To write the actual example, add a main.jsonnet file and annotate it using comments.

Running locally

This page consists of two parts:

1. Golang based example generator, ported from https://gobyexample.com
2. GatbsyJS based static site using React, rendering the markdown generated by Go

For development purposes (file watching, etc):

$ make dev

This will run the generator in watching mode (go run ./gen dev) and gatsby develop for you.

Publishing

The site is built and published by Netlify. Pushing to the master branch will automatically update the page.
