The main PCSX2 website is a statically generated website, leveraging Docusaurus.

• Setup
  • Windows
  • Linux
• Developing
  • Making a new Article
    • Caveats if Migrating a Legacy Article
  • Builtin Component Documentation

Setup Scoop as per instructions at https://scoop.sh/.

Open Powershell and install the following.

scoop install git nodejs
npm install --global yarn

Navigate to your local git repository for the site and use the below to start the server.

To start the server you will need to be in your Github repository that contains the package.json.

yarn start # alternatively, you can use `npm run start`

Browse to http://localhost:8080/

TODO - but very similar just using your package manager of choice

• The docusaurus documentation is very useful and has plenty of examples https://docusaurus.io/docs
• Docusaurus uses React and JSX, seek out related resources for those if editing the frontend code

Run the following to setup the boilerplate for a new article:

yarn new-article

The article will go into /blog/<year>/<title>

You should add an image to serve as a preview (if appropriate) by using the image: frontmatter field, for example:

---
title: ...
---
image: ./img/my-cool-thumbnail.webp
---

• When running the command above, you should provide an alias that matches the relative URL from the old website. This will prevent legacy links from becoming dead. See existing articles that have been migrated for an example.
