• https://github.com/meteor/blaze-tutorial
• https://github.com/meteor/vue-tutorial
• https://github.com/meteor/svelte-tutorial
• https://github.com/meteor/angular-tutorial

Tutorial workflow

Editing the prose

Just edit the markdown files in /content/.

Editing code snippets

The code snippets are generated from the step-by-step git repositories which are git submodules in /repos. Each code snippet is its own commit. Commit messages follow the following format:

Step 3.1: Add some feature

You might also want to make sure that all of your files end with a newline so that you don't get an annoying "No newline at end of file" diff.

After using git rebase -i --root to massage the repository into the desired state, run the script to update the generated files:

./scripts/process-repo.rb blaze

The commit with this message can then be included in the content with the following code snippet:

{{> DiffBox step="3.1" tutorialName="simple-todos"}}

You should replace simple-todos with the correct tutorial name (defined by calling DiffBox.registerTutorial).

You're done! Make sure to commit the changes to all of the generated files.

Repository layout

This repository is a Meteor package; it's currently not published, but you can clone it and use it as a local package in an app.

The different parts of the repository have quite different responsibilities, but they are somewhat tightly coupled so it doesn't make sense to split them into separate packages at this point.

3. /content/ The actual tutorial prose content, in Markdown format.
4. /generated/ (don't edit manually) This directory contains Git patch files generated from the step-by-step repos.
5. /repos/ This directory contains git submodules of all three step-by-step tutorial repositories.
6. /scripts/ This contains a script that is used to update /generated/ from the repositories in /repos/.

Updating Sub Modules

1. git submodule update --init --recursive
2. meteor
