# TraceRTM Documentation - Implementation Guide

## Quick Start

This guide shows you how to implement the massively expanded documentation structure (~750+ pages).

## Files You Need

All documentation structure files are in the project root:

1. **TRACERTM_DOCS_STRUCTURE_CODE.ts** - Getting Started & Wiki sections
2. **TRACERTM_DOCS_STRUCTURE_CODE_PART2.ts** - API Reference section
3. **TRACERTM_DOCS_STRUCTURE_CODE_PART3.ts** - Development & Changelog sections
4. **TRACERTM_DOCS_STRUCTURE_EXPANSION.md** - Detailed breakdown with statistics
5. **TRACERTM_DOCS_EXPANSION_SUMMARY.md** - Executive summary

## Step-by-Step Implementation

### Step 1: Understand the Current File

The file that needs to be updated is currently a client component:
```
/Users/kooshapari/temp-PRODVERCEL/485/kush/trace/docs-site/app/docs/[[...slug]]/page.tsx
```

**Note**: The file appears to have been modified and is now using `'use client'`. You may need to convert back to a server component or adjust the approach.

### Step 2: Copy the Structure

Open the three TypeScript files and copy the structure objects.

From **TRACERTM_DOCS_STRUCTURE_CODE.ts**, copy the entire object structure starting with `'getting-started'` and `'wiki'`.

From **TRACERTM_DOCS_STRUCTURE_CODE_PART2.ts**, copy the `'api-reference'` section.

From **TRACERTM_DOCS_STRUCTURE_CODE_PART3.ts**, copy the `'development'` and `'changelog'` sections.

### Step 3: Merge into Single Object

Create the complete `DOCS_STRUCTURE` object:

```typescript
const DOCS_STRUCTURE = {
  'getting-started': {
    // From TRACERTM_DOCS_STRUCTURE_CODE.ts
    title: 'Getting Started',
    description: 'Get up and running with TraceRTM in minutes',
    path: '00-getting-started',
    icon: 'Rocket',
    children: {
      // ... all getting-started children
    },
  },
  'wiki': {
    // From TRACERTM_DOCS_STRUCTURE_CODE.ts
    title: 'Wiki',
    description: 'Knowledge base and guides',
    path: '01-wiki',
    icon: 'BookOpen',
    children: {
      // ... all wiki children
    },
  },
  'api-reference': {
    // From TRACERTM_DOCS_STRUCTURE_CODE_PART2.ts
    title: 'API Reference',
    description: 'Complete API documentation',
    path: '02-api-reference',
    icon: 'Zap',
    children: {
      // ... all api-reference children
    },
  },
  'development': {
    // From TRACERTM_DOCS_STRUCTURE_CODE_PART3.ts
    title: 'Development',
    description: 'Development setup and internals',
    path: '03-development',
    icon: 'Wrench',
    children: {
      // ... all development children
    },
  },
  'changelog': {
    // From TRACERTM_DOCS_STRUCTURE_CODE_PART3.ts
    title: 'Changelog',
    description: 'Release notes and updates',
    path: '04-changelog',
    icon: 'RotateCcw',
    children: {
      // ... all changelog children
    },
  },
}
```

### Step 4: Update page.tsx

Replace the existing `DOCS_STRUCTURE` constant in `page.tsx` with your merged structure.

**Important**: Ensure all the helper functions remain unchanged:
- `getDocPath()`
- `getDocContent()`
- `generateStaticParams()`
- `getIconComponent()`
- `SidebarNav()`
- `MarkdownComponents`
- etc.

### Step 5: Test the Navigation

Start the development server:
```bash
cd /Users/kooshapari/temp-PRODVERCEL/485/kush/trace/docs-site
bun run dev
```

Navigate to `http://localhost:3000/docs/` and verify:
- All main sections appear
- Clicking expands subsections
- Deep nesting works (4 levels)
- Icons show for top-level items

### Step 6: Create Directory Structure

Create a script to generate all needed directories:

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# generate-docs-structure.sh

BASE_DIR="/Users/kooshapari/temp-PRODVERCEL/485/kush/trace/docs-site/content/docs"

# Function to create directory structure from paths
create_structure() {
  local section=$1
  local path=$2

  mkdir -p "$BASE_DIR/$path"
}

# Getting Started directories
create_structure "getting-started" "00-getting-started/01-installation/01-macos"
create_structure "getting-started" "00-getting-started/01-installation/02-linux"
# ... (add all ~750 paths)

# Set permissions
find "$BASE_DIR" -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

echo "Documentation structure created successfully!"
```

### Step 7: Generate Placeholder Content

Create a script to generate placeholder MDX files:

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# generate-placeholders.sh

create_mdx() {
  local path=$1
  local title=$2
  local file="$BASE_DIR/$path/index.mdx"

  if [ ! -f "$file" ]; then
    cat > "$file" << EOF
---
title: "$title"
description: "Documentation for $title"
---

# $title

This page is under construction.

## Overview

Content coming soon...

## Next Steps

- Check related documentation
- Explore examples
- See API reference
EOF
  fi
}

# Example: Create all MDX files
create_mdx "00-getting-started/01-installation/01-macos" "Install on macOS"
# ... (add all ~750 pages)
```

### Step 8: Prioritize Content Creation

Focus on these critical pages first:

1. **Getting Started** (highest priority)
   - Quick Start Guide
   - Installation (all platforms)
   - Core Concepts
   - First Project Tutorial

2. **API Reference**
   - REST API Overview
   - Authentication
   - Projects API
   - Items API
   - Links API

3. **Examples**
   - Hello World
   - Basic Workflow
   - Integration Examples

4. **Development**
   - Setup (all platforms)
   - Architecture Overview
   - Contributing Guide

## Directory Structure Example

```
content/docs/
├── 00-getting-started/
│   ├── 01-installation/
│   │   ├── 01-macos/
│   │   │   └── index.mdx
│   │   ├── 02-linux/
│   │   │   └── index.mdx
│   │   ├── 03-windows/
│   │   │   └── index.mdx
│   │   └── index.mdx
│   ├── 02-quick-start/
│   │   └── index.mdx
│   └── index.mdx
├── 01-wiki/
│   ├── 01-concepts/
│   │   ├── 01-traceability/
│   │   │   ├── 01-overview/
│   │   │   │   └── index.mdx
│   │   │   └── index.mdx
│   │   └── index.mdx
│   └── index.mdx

│   │   │   └── index.mdx
│   │   └── index.mdx
│   └── index.mdx
└── index.mdx
```

## URL Structure

The navigation structure maps to URLs like this:

```
/docs/getting-started/installation/macos/
  → content/docs/00-getting-started/01-installation/01-macos/index.mdx

/docs/api-reference/rest-api/projects/create/
  → content/docs/02-api-reference/02-rest-api/01-projects/03-create/index.mdx

/docs/development/deployment/kubernetes/helm/
  → content/docs/03-development/06-deployment/02-kubernetes/02-helm/index.mdx
```

## MDX File Template

Use this template for all documentation pages:

```mdx
---
title: "Page Title"
description: "Brief description for SEO and previews"
---

# Page Title

Brief introduction paragraph explaining what this page covers.

## Overview

Main content section.

## Key Concepts

Explain important concepts.

## Examples

Provide code examples:

\`\`\`typescript
// Example code
const example = "hello"
\`\`\`

## See Also

- [Related Page 1](/docs/path/to/page1/)
- [Related Page 2](/docs/path/to/page2/)

## Next Steps

- Guide users to related content
- Provide logical progression
```

## Verification Checklist

After implementation, verify:

- [ ] All 5 main sections render
- [ ] Navigation expands/collapses correctly
- [ ] Icons display for top-level sections
- [ ] Active page highlighting works
- [ ] Deep nesting (4 levels) functions
- [ ] URLs match expected structure
- [ ] Breadcrumbs show correctly
- [ ] Search finds pages (if enabled)
- [ ] Mobile navigation works
- [ ] Performance is acceptable

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: File system case sensitivity
**Solution**: Use exact capitalization from structure files

### Issue: Missing pages show 404
**Solution**: Ensure MDX files exist at correct paths with correct naming

### Issue: Navigation doesn't expand
**Solution**: Check that `children` objects are properly nested

### Issue: Styles not applying
**Solution**: Verify TailwindCSS classes are correct

### Issue: Slow page loads
**Solution**: Implement pagination or lazy loading for large sections

## Automation Scripts

### Generate All Directories
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Located at: scripts/generate-docs-dirs.sh
# Run from project root

# See full script in repository
```

```

## Content Guidelines

### Writing Style
- Clear, concise language
- Active voice
- Present tense
- Code examples for all features
- Real-world use cases

### Structure
- Hierarchical headings (H1 → H2 → H3)
- Short paragraphs
- Bullet points for lists
- Tables for comparisons
- Diagrams using Mermaid

### Code Examples
- Include full working examples
- Comment complex code
- Show input and output
- Provide multiple languages where applicable

## Maintenance

### Adding New Pages
1. Add entry to DOCS_STRUCTURE in page.tsx
2. Create directory with proper numeric prefix
3. Create index.mdx with frontmatter
4. Add content
5. Link from related pages
6. Update sitemap

### Updating Existing Pages
1. Edit MDX file directly
2. Keep frontmatter current
3. Update related links if needed
4. Verify changes in development

### Deprecating Pages
1. Add deprecation notice at top
2. Link to replacement page
3. Keep old page for 2+ versions
4. Remove from main navigation
5. Add redirect

## Performance Optimization

### Static Generation
- Pre-generate all pages at build time
- Use `generateStaticParams()` for all routes
- Enable incremental static regeneration if needed

### Image Optimization
- Use Next.js Image component
- Optimize SVG files
- Lazy load diagrams

### Code Splitting
- Split large pages into components
- Lazy load heavy features
- Use dynamic imports

## SEO Considerations

### Meta Tags
- Unique title for each page
- Descriptive meta descriptions
- Open Graph tags
- Twitter cards

### Structured Data
- Breadcrumb schema
- Documentation schema
- Organization schema

### Sitemap
- Auto-generate from structure
- Include all pages
- Update on build
