mkdocs-zip-folders 1.0.5

MkDocs plugin to zip configured folders and add them to the site.

ZipFolders MkDocs Plugin

The ZipFolders plugin is used to create archives (zip and tar.gz) of specified folders in your MkDocs project after the site build process. This can be helpful if you need to distribute or backup parts of your documentation.

Installation

Install the plugin using pip from PyPI:

pip install mkdocs-zip-folders

Configuration

To use the ZipFolders plugin, you need to add it to your mkdocs.yml configuration file.

Here is a sample configuration:

plugins:
  - search
  - zip_folders:
      folders:
        - myCode
        - toShare
        - folderX/thisWillBeZipped
      formats:
        - zip
        - tar.gz
      hash_extension: ".hash" # default extension
      debug: true # optional - default is false

• folders - A list of folders to archive. The folders are relative to the root of the MkDocs documentation project - docs_dir (default is docs).
• formats - A list of archive formats to create. Supported formats are zip and tar.gz. Default is ['zip'].
• debug - Optional. If set to true, the plugin will print debug messages to the console. Default is false.
• hash_extension - The extension to use for hashing archives. Default is .hash.

Git configuration

It is highly recommended to add the archive files and hash files to your .gitignore file. This will prevent you from accidentally committing the archive files to your repository.

# Archive files generated by mkdocs-zip-folders
*.zip
*.tar.gz
*.zip.hash
*.tar.gz.hash

Archive files will be generated automatically after each build.
