Create Pages

In this section we will learn about creating two new types of pages in Docusaurus, a regular page and a documentation page.

Creating a Regular Page

1. Go into the pages/en directory and create a file called hello-world.js with the following contents:

   const React = require('react');

   const CompLibrary = require('../../core/CompLibrary.js');

   const Container = CompLibrary.Container; const GridBlock = CompLibrary.GridBlock;

   function HelloWorld(props) { return (

   Hello World!

   This is my first page!

   ); }

   module.exports = HelloWorld;

2. Go to http://localhost:3000/hello-world and you should be able to see the new page.
3. Change the text within the <p>...</p> to "I can write JSX here!". The browser should refresh automatically to reflect the changes.

- <p>This is my first page!</p>
+ <p>I can write JSX here!</p>

React is being used as a templating engine for rendering static markup. You can leverage on the expressability of React to build rich web content. Learn more about creating pages here.

Create a Documentation Page

1. Create a new file in the docs folder called doc4.md.

2. Paste the following contents:

   ---

   id: doc4 title: This is Doc 4

   ---

   I can write content using GitHub-flavored Markdown syntax.

   Markdown Syntax

   Bold italic code Links

   Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit. Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.

   • Hey
   • Ho
   • Let's Go

3. Go to sidebars.json and add "doc4" after "doc1". This ID should be the same one as in the Markdown file above.

{
  "docs": {
    "Docusaurus": [
      "doc1",
+     "doc4"
    ],
    "First Category": ["doc2"],
    "Second Category": ["doc3"]
  },
  "docs-other": {
    "First Category": ["doc4", "doc5"]
  }
}

4. Kill your webserver (Cmd + C or Ctrl + C) and restart it (with npm run start) because a server restart is needed for sidebar changes.
5. Navigate to http://localhost:3000/docs/doc4.

You've created your first documentation page on Docusaurus! The sidebars.json is where you specify the order of your documentation pages and in the front matter of the Markdown file is where you provide metadata about that page.
