MkDocs Configuration Validator: check-mkdocs

check-mkdocs: A Tool for MkDocs Configuration

Project Overview

The check-mkdocs project was developed as a practical solution for those working with MkDocs. It's a simple tool designed to address common challenges in MkDocs configuration without overcomplicating the process.

Links below.

MkDocs

MkDocs is a fast, simple, gorgeous static site generator that builds project documentation. Documentation source files are written in Markdown and configured with a single YAML configuration file.

Homepage: https://www.mkdocs.org/

Project Objective: Simplifying Validation

The complexity of configuring MkDocs, mainly when dealing with various plugins and themes, prompted the need for a tool that could take the guesswork out of the process. check-mkdocs was developed to validate the MkDocs configuration file and check for common issues, providing informative error messages to identify and fix problems quickly.

Configuring MkDocs can be tricky, especially when dealing with different plugins and themes. check-mkdocs offers a straightforward way to validate the MkDocs configuration file (default mkdocs.yml) and identify common issues. If there's an error, the tool provides a clear error message to assist in fixing the problem.

Additional Features

While its primary function is validation, check-mkdocs also includes some additional features. It can build the MkDocs project documentation using mkdocs build and check the built documentation via mkdocs serve. An optional --generate-build argument allows for a simple build of the MkDocs documentation.

Installation and Usage

Installing check-mkdocs is uncomplicated, with options to install via pip or locally with Poetry. Instructions are provided for both methods, and the tool can be easily integrated into a .pre-commit-config.yaml for those who wish to use it as a pre-commit hook.

A Practical Tool for MkDocs Users

The check-mkdocs project is a modest but useful tool for anyone working with MkDocs. It's not intended to revolutionize how you work with MkDocs but rather simplify specific tasks and provide a convenient way to validate configurations. It's a practical addition to the toolkit of developers and teams working with MkDocs.

Looking ahead, there is potential for expanding its functionalities and adapting it to new challenges within the MkDocs ecosystem. Continuous feedback and collaboration with the community will be key to steering this project towards further success.
