Preface

When I first heard the word Docusaurus, I immediately thought it had something to do with dinosaurs. What do dinosaurs have to do with documentation? That was the question ringing in my mind. And thanks to that curiosity, I ended up exploring Docusaurus.

Docusaurus follows the principles of “docs as code” and is completely open source. It’s easy to set up, and you can get comfortable with it after just a few hours of hands-on use.

This guide is the result of my own hands-on journey to understand Docusaurus. It is not an AI-generated tutorial. I have personally executed every step and documented it. However, I did use AI to correct grammatical errors and assist with code generation.

Tutorial Outline

This tutorial begins with the installation of Docusaurus. Once it’s installed, we’ll explore the various directories provided by the framework. From there, we’ll learn how to customize the default site. Next, we’ll add content (documents) to our Docusaurus site. Finally, we’ll dive into some advanced features to enhance our project.
