[Gatsby Docs Update] Sidebar + article layout updates #10735

joecritch · 2017-09-18T13:20:48Z

This supersedes #10707

what are the changes?:

Adds media queries and JS to make sidebar collapse/expand from a
sticky bottom bar on small screen sizes
tweaks to colour contrast (checked using aXe) and some html attributes
centralised article layout for large desktops
created a carousel-like overflow for the marketing columns on mobile.
moved 'Edit this page' to the bottom, as part of the new centralised layout.
offset note and code blocks out of the grid, so there text lines up. (this was previously an issue with CodeMirror, but i think we're good now?)

why make these changes?

improved accessibility score
improved readability on large desktop
improved use of screen space on mobile

test plan

manual testing

**what is the change?:** - Adds media queries and JS to make sidebar collapse/expand from a sticky bottom bar on small screen sizes - Many TODOs still open! This is just an initial version. **why make this change?:** Moving closer to Joe's fantastic design. :) **test plan:** Manual testing - Flarnie will insert a gif **issue:** Various items under the `Sidebar Component` on this checklist; https://github.com/bvaughn/react/wiki/Gatsby-check-list

**what is the change?:** We skim the items in the 'defaultActiveSection' to find the currently active one, and display it's title in the sticky responsive bottom navbar. Before I had just plugged in the section title as a placeholder. **why make this change?:** It's better this way. One step closer to Joe's shiny new design. :) **test plan:** Manually tested (Flarnie will insert a screenshot) **issue:** Sidebar items on this checklist; https://github.com/bvaughn/react/wiki/Gatsby-check-list

CI's failing b'c of formatting issues. 😄

Mind running yarn prettier-all (in the root of the project) to fix them up?

Maybe rather than passing in isFooter we could support additional custom CSS? (Since only one instance of Container would have the footer CSS).

Good shout, feels nicer to compose. Changed :)

Why'd the "alt" get removed? Accident?

aXe was picking it up that it was a duplicate of the title; which is apparently an anti-pattern. Empty alt tags are used for presentational img tags, so I think we're good 👍

I have never heard this. Interesting. So it's best to explicitly specify an empty alt attribute vs none at all in this case?

Upon further consideration, I think images used as links should have alt text describing the destination of the link, not the image itself. So maybe this one should say something like, "React home page"? Oh, I see what you're saying now.

+                border: 0,


Why not display: none ?

Due to the lack of alt attribute (see the other comment), we still want the site title to be read if the crawler is using mobile

Gotcha. This is gross. 😛 But I think your logic is reasonable. The grossness is just browser stuff. 😁

I might look into changing the markup slightly after this is merged to avoid this if you don't oppose it.

+            paddingRight: 280,
+          },
+          [media.between('xlargeSmaller', 'belowSidebarFixed')]: {


I'm not sure I care for the newly-added media constants. The API was kind of built to make sense with sizes but the new strings are kind of more arbitrary. This query particular is pretty confusing. 😁 What does it mean to be between xlargerSmaller and belowSidebarFixed?

bvaughn · 2017-09-19T15:26:41Z

www/src/theme.js

+  xlargeSmaller: {min: 1100, max: 1339},
+  belowSidebarFixed: {min: 740, max: 1559}, // Used for "between()"
+  sidebarFixed: {min: 1560, max: Infinity},
+  sidebarFixedNarrowFooter: {min: 1560, max: 2000},


I don't think these constants make sense, (paricularly xlargeSmaller 😁 ), with the way the sizes were designed. If we need these new sizes, then I think we should pick a few hard-coded media query values rather than try to make them work within the media methods.

See my latest commit. I've not removed them entirely, as I think it's good to have all width constraints in one central place, but I've made it more obvious about what they're actually doing. And was able to remove belowSidebarFixed due to the new "excludeLarge" on the between function 👍

I think subtleOnDark is nicely verbose in this instance, showing it's for use on dark backgrounds. Would you agree?

Sure that's okay 😄 Feel free to ignore "nit" comments

-    if (SIZES[largeKey].max === Infinity) {
+  between(smallKey: Size, largeKey: Size, excludeLarge: Boolean = false) {
+    if (SIZES[largeKey].max === Infinity && !excludeLarge) {


Is this conditional correct? Or did you mean to have an || instead of an &&?

Calling between(small, large, true) would create a media query with max-width even if the max size was Infinity. When would we want that?

I think it was logically correct, but it wasn't nice to read. excludeLarge is an exception because you're not concerned about the max property. So I've refactored it — 5e4dda9

I'm still confused. Isn't a max-width of Infinity the same as no max-width at all?

Ah... I see now that you're using ${SIZES[largeKey].min} below. Hm.
