Serve and help generating tutorial deployment for https://tutorials.ubuntu.com
Those couple of tools are used in conjonction with https://github.com/canonical-websites/tutorials.ubuntu.com to generate a tutorial website. Those can be written in markdown or google doc, using the claat google's library.
We are using currently a fork of the claat tools as our fixes for the markdown parser are getting reviewed and merged by the google team.
As this is a more robust deployment procedure, some structural changed were needed and are in progress there. This tool works exclusively with that branch.
The generate command will generate tutorials in html, using Polymerjs, to be compatible with the aforementioned tutorial source code.
It fetches in well known places the codelab list and sources (both in google doc or markdown format), the general events and categories metadata, to generate the desired ouput and API files.
Every default directories will be detected by the tool if present in the tutorial directories. Arguments and options can tweak this behavior.
The serve command will generate the same codelab content generated on the fly in a temporary directory, but also install watchers on local source files (codelab markdown file or any referenced local images).
Any save on any of those files will retrigger the corresponding codelab build and API generation, serve by this local http webserver (default port is 8080)
Changes are all done in temporary files and not destructive on the tutorial repository. Note that source and webserver paths can be overriden as for the generate command.
