Create Pages

In this section, we will learn about creating two types of pages in Docusaurus: a regular page and a documentation page.

Create a Regular Page#

In the website/pages/en directory of your repository, save a text file called hello-world.js with the following contents:

const React = require('react');

const CompLibrary = require('../../core/CompLibrary.js');

const Container = CompLibrary.Container;
const GridBlock = CompLibrary.GridBlock;

function HelloWorld(props) {
  return (
    <div className="docMainWrapper wrapper">
      <Container className="mainContainer documentContainer postContainer">
        <h1>Hello World!</h1>
        <p>This is my first page!</p>
      </Container>
    </div>
  );
}

module.exports = HelloWorld;

Use any text editor to make the file, such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code or Komodo Edit.

Go to http://localhost:3000/hello-world and you should be able to see the new page.
Change the text within the <p>...</p> to "I can write JSX here!" and save the file again. The browser should refresh automatically to reflect the change.

- <p>This is my first page!</p>
+ <p>I can write JSX here!</p>

React is being used as a templating engine for rendering static markup. You can leverage on the expressibility of React to build rich web content. Learn more about creating pages here.

Create a Documentation Page#

Create a new file in the docs folder called doc9.md. The docs folder is in the root of your Docusaurus project, same level as the website folder.
Paste the following contents:

---
id: doc9
title: This is Doc 9
---

I can write content using [GitHub-flavored Markdown syntax](https://github.github.com/gfm/).

## Markdown Syntax

**Bold** _italic_ `code` [Links](#url)

> Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit. Suspendisse
> id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.

* Hey
* Ho
* Let's Go

The sidebars.json is where you specify the order of your documentation pages, so open website/sidebars.json and add "doc9" after "doc1". This ID should be the same one as in the metadata for the Markdown file above, so if you gave a different ID in Step 2, just make sure to use the same ID in the sidebar file.

{
  "docs": {
    "Docusaurus": [
      "doc1",
+     "doc9"
    ],
    "First Category": ["doc2"],
    "Second Category": ["doc3"]
  },
  "docs-other": {
    "First Category": ["doc4", "doc5"]
  }
}

A server restart is needed to pick up sidebar changes, so go to your terminal, kill your dev server (Cmd + C or Ctrl + C), and run npm start or yarn start.
Navigate to http://localhost:3000/docs/doc9 to see the new documentation page.

You've created your first documentation page on Docusaurus!
