Folder structure and formats
Please note that best way to create folder structure is to use create.js
script approach. Below is the
explanation of existing folders & files.
Each quarterly has few parameters that are reflected in the way files and folders are organizes:
- Language
- Quarter
- Type (Could be Adult, Easy Reading, Youth & etc)
- Quarterly Info file
- Quarterly cover image
Folder structure for quarterly looks like that
src/[language code in ISO 639-1]/[quarter_number]
- which will point to the root folder of the quarterly
quarter_number
- has following format YYYY-QQ
or YYYY-QQ-TYPE
, where
YYYY
is four digit number of yearQQ
is the numerical value of quarter must be one of [01, 02, 03, 04]TYPE
is the short representation of quarterly type. Omitted if adult version of the lesson
Quarterly info file must be named info.yml
and placed in the root folder of the quarterly. As you may understand it
is written in YAML format. See for example src/en/2016-04/info.yml
for more.
Quarterly cover file must be named cover.png
and placed in the root folder of the quarterly. It's a PNG image that represents
the cover of the quarterly.
Quarterly content (weekly and daily lessons) have it's own specific format and structure based on the following parameters:
- Week number
- Day of week file
- Type of reading
- Week info file
- Week cover image
So quarterly structure looks like that:
[quarterly_root_folder]/[week_number]/[read_file]
So main content of Sabbath School lesson is the read_file
. This is the markdown type file with the annotation (comment)
section on top. For simplicity follow the numerical approach for days of the week readings (Sun through Sat) naming according
to the numerical sequential value of the day of week. Additional readings like inside stories, teacher comments & etc can be named
according to the type. For example create.js
will name them inside-story.md
and teacher-comments.md
.
Adding / Editing weekly lesson
