### Updating Practice Codes

The codes are stored in the `Codes.xml` file. If you want to add or change codes edit the XML file. Note that GMSJ0A refers to the NTSC-J 1.1 release of Super Mario Sunshine. (It's not actually called version A but that's what we've been calling it for years due to a misconception on what the A on the back of the box means).

### Updating Guides

You can find the guides in the [site](https://github.com/BitPatty/gctGenerator/tree/master/site) folder. Simply edit the corresponding markdown file (.md).

Note that in the code reference files everything following the `<!-- injectionpoint -->` tag will be removed during the next build.

### Site Development

If you intend to change site code you need [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/) version 12.18.1 or greater installed on your local.

```sh
# Install yarn
npm i -g yarn

# Install dependencies
yarn

# Run project in watch mode
# This will serve the page in development mode on http://localhost:8080
yarn dev

# Build project
yarn build
```

The XML codes will be written automatically to the json file and code reference during the following actions:

- Starting the development server with `yarn dev`
- Building the site with `yarn build`

If you want to inject the codes at any given point you can use `yarn codes:inject`.

Before opening a PR make sure you run `yarn codes:clean` to remove the injected codes.

### Build and preview the site (Docker)

The project root provides a [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) file, which creates a clean build (with the same configuration as the production build) and spins up a minimal Apache server on your local, serving the resulting build on port 8080.

```sh
# Build and serve the site on http://localhost:8080
# Press CTRL+C to stop the container
docker-compose up --build
```
