## Export Nextjs Docs Script
The script automates the process of cloning documentation repositories, converting Markdown files to HTML, and generating PDF files. This README covers installation and usage.
---
## Features
- Clone remote repositories with sparse checkout.
- Convert Markdown files to HTML with code block and image path preprocessing.
- Generate PDFs with custom headers, footers, and styles.
- Automatically create a hierarchical Table of Contents (ToC).
- Detect the latest version of the documentation.
- Handles YAML frontmatter for metadata-rich documentation.
---
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8+
- Required Python packages:
- `markdown`
- `yaml`
- `tqdm`
- `playwright`
- `gitpython`
- Ensure you have Playwright installed and configured:
```bash
pip install playwright
playwright install
```
### Clone the Repository and Install
Clone the project repository, create a virtual environment, activate it, and install requirements.
---
```bash
git clone https://github.com/pacnpal/Docs-Exporter.git
cd Docs-Exporter
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
playwright install
```
## Usage
### 1. Clone and Update Nextjs Repository
Run the script to clone or update the remote documentation repository:
```bash
python export-docs.py
```
### 2. Convert Markdown to HTML
The script automatically processes `.md` and `.mdx` files, converting them to styled HTML.
### 3. Generate PDF
A PDF is created with a generated title and ToC. Ensure no other process is using the output file.
### Example Configuration
```python
repo_url = "https://github.com/vercel/next.js.git"
branch = "canary"
docs_dir = "docs"
```
### Output
- PDF file: `Next.js_Docs_vXX.XX.X_YYYY-MM-DD.pdf`
- Logs: Process information printed to the terminal.
