Dragonfly Document is written, drawn, memorialized representation of all things about Dragonfly. For those who are generally interested in Dragonfly, README.md of this repo is sufficient. While for end users, all details contained in /docs is the best guide all should have. And for developers, contents in Developer Guide part is that all need.
Organization of document is as following:
Quick Started is exactly what you need if you would give Dragonfly a try. This document includes what are the prerequisites, how to install Dragonfly and how to experience Dragonfly's usage.
User Guide helps all kinds of guidance end users need to experience Dragonfly. Not only the very brief Quick Start, but the detailed binary installation and configure illustration. In addition, any concept and function which help users understand Dragonfly better would be included as well.
For almost all users, commandline is the first reference you may need. Document in directory CLI Reference is about command detailed usage of Dragonfly CLI including dfget, dfdaemon and supernode. You can get introductions, synopsis, examples, options about command. Last but not least, Dragonfly can guarantee commandline docs is strongly consistent with Dragonfly CLI's source code. What's more, all commandline docs are auto generated via source code.
Commandline is the easiest way to experience Dragonfly's ability. And API extension will bring more furthure experience of Dragonfly. Commandline is just one kind of combination usage of API, if you wish to hack or take more advantages of Dragonfly, please see API Reference. Like command line document, all API docs are auto generated via source code.
Ecosystem documents show connections between Dragonfly and popular tool or system in cloud native ecosystem. They guide end users how to experience cloud native systems with Dragonfly, such as other CNCF project Kubernetes and Harbor.
Develop Guide helps (potential) developers/contributors to understand the thoery inside Dragonfly rather than the interface it exposes. With better understanding of how Dragonfly is designed, developer could learn source code of Dragonfly much easier and know how to debug, test and hack.
Design Doc is content all about deisgn of Dragonfly. It includes all things taken into consideration at the very beginning, the architecture designed for all components in Dragonfly, the interactive workflow between components, all APIs in Dragonfly and some technical things else.
Test Guide is the best reference helping contributors get aware of how to setup testing environment and do it. Currently we can divide test of Dragonfly into four dimensions:
- unit test;
- API integration test;
- CLI integration test;
- node e2e test.
For more details, please refer to test.
