Prerequisites

Setup requires:

Install the Edgio CLI

If you have not already done so, install the Edgio CLI.
Bash
1npm i -g @edgio/cli@^6.0.0

Create your MkDocs site

If you don’t have an existing MkDocs site, you can create one by following:
Bash
1# https://www.mkdocs.org/getting-started
2

3pip3 install mkdocs
4mkdocs new my-mkdocs-app
5cd my-mkdocs-app

Initializing your project with Edgio

Then, in the root folder of your project, run:
Bash
1edgio init --edgioVersion ^6.0.0 --connector=@edgio/mkdocs
This will automatically add all of the required dependencies and files to your project. These include:
  • The @edgio/core package
  • The @edgio/cli package
  • The @edgio/mkdocs package
  • edgio.config.js - Contains various configuration options for Edgio.
  • routes.js - A default routes file that sends all requests to the MkDocs. Update this file to add caching or proxy some URLs to a different origin.

Routing

The default routes.js file created by edgio init sends all requests to MkDocs server via a fallback route.
JavaScript
1// This file was added by edgio init.
2// You should commit this file to source control.
3

4const { Router } = require('@edgio/core/router')
5const { mkdocsRoutes } = require('@edgio/mkdocs')
6

7export default new Router().use(mkdocsRoutes)

Running Locally

To test your app locally, run:
Bash
1edgio run
You can do a production build of your app and test it locally using:
Bash
1edgio build && edgio run --production
Setting --production runs your app exactly as it will be when deployed to the Edgio cloud.

Deploy to Edgio

Deploy your app to the Sites by running the following commands in your project’s root directory:
Bash
1edgio deploy
See Deployments for more information.
