Hacknight 5.0

Hi participant! great to see you here. This would be the section you need to read before you contribute anything to this repository.

We hope you know Git already. If you don't or don't remember, you can always checkout the Git Reference Guide

Now that we have gotten the general stuff out of the way, here's some things you'd have to know if you want to contribute to this repository

  1. DO NOT PUSH TO MAIN: You wouldn't have permissions to push to the main branch of this repository anyway but this is a general rule of thumb. Always make a new branch or fork the repository, and then work on that branch or fork. A branch called hacknight5 has been setup to manage code for this hackathon. All merges will be to this branch to avoid breaking production
  2. This is a Sveltekit project. Sveltekit is known to be the most fun tech stack to work on on the web. It's similar to frameworks like Next.js.
  3. If you're new to Svelte has a really amazing interactive tutorial on their official website which you can find here
  4. If you want a more traditional style documentation, that is available too
  5. Go to the issues tab above to explore available issues to solve. You can always propose your own too, you will get extra points for it!

Development Notes

The technologies used are

  1. Svelte | docs | tutorial
  2. Sveltekit | docs
  3. Vite | docs
  4. Tailwind CSS | docs

The website is server-side-rendered using sveltekit and hosted on vercel

Markdown rendering

We use a [slug](dynamic route) model for posts, events and newsletters. All of these are fetched from markdown files and rendered using mdsvex.

The javascript file at /src/lib/utils/index.js is responsible for fetching all of these markdown files. This is then used by the files at /src/routes/api/ to sort by date where applicable and serve them in a .json format.

Every route for these pages also has its +server.js that is responsible to fetch data from the /api/ endpoint. And every [slug] has its +server.js to fetch all the metadata and contents and return it in the form of a javascript variable.
