This website was created with Docusaurus.

Building the PyTorch3D website

Install

Make sure all the dependencies for the website are installed:

# Install dependencies
$ yarn

or

$ npm install docusaurus-init

Run your dev server:

# Start the site
$ yarn start

or
$ ./node_modules/docusaurus/lib/start-server.js

Build the tutorials

We convert the ipython notebooks to html using parse_tutorials.py which is found in the scripts folder at the root of the PyTorch3D directory.

Before running this script install the following dependencies:

pip install nbformat==4.4.0 nbconvert==5.3.1 ipywidgets==7.5.1 tornado==4.2 bs4

Install yarn:

brew install yarn

# or

curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash

Then run the build script:

bash scripts/build_website.sh

This will build the docusaurus website and run a script to parse the tutorials and generate:

.html files in the website/_tutorials folder
.js files in the website/pages/tutorials folder
.py/.ipynb files in the website/static/files folder

TODO: Add support for latex in markdown in jupyter notebooks and embedded images.

Build and publish the website

To update for a new version, you need to build the tutorials and the website and push to the gh-pages branch of github.com/facebookresearch/pytorch3d. The instructions in scripts/publish_website.sh bring it all together.

Add a new tutorial

The tutorials to include in the website are listed in website/tutorials.json. If you create a new tutorial add an entry to the list in this file. This is needed in order to generate the sidebar for the tutorials page.

Edit the landing page

To change the content of the landing page modify: website/pages/en/index.js.

Edit the tutorials page

To change the content of the tutorials home page modify: website/pages/tutorials/index.js.

Adding items to your site's top navigation bar

Add links to docs, custom pages or external links by editing the headerLinks field of website/siteConfig.js:

website/siteConfig.js

{
  headerLinks: [
    ...
    /* you can add docs */
    { doc: 'my-examples', label: 'Examples' },
    /* you can add custom pages */
    { page: 'help', label: 'Help' },
    /* you can add external links */
    { href: 'https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus', label: 'GitHub' },
    ...
  ],
  ...
}

Adding custom pages

Docusaurus uses React components to build pages. The components are saved as .js files in website/pages/en:
If you want your page to show up in your navigation header, you will need to update website/siteConfig.js to add to the headerLinks element:

website/siteConfig.js

{
  headerLinks: [
    ...
    { page: 'my-new-custom-page', label: 'My New Custom Page' },
    ...
  ],
  ...
}
