# Important notices
- You probably want to "Use this template" ( the green button ) instead of forking the repo.
- The files to include in the NPM bundle are cherry-picked using the ``package.json`` ``files`` field.
If you don't want to bother and includes everything just remove the ``files`` field from the ``package.json``
otherwise remember, when you add a subdirectory in ``src/``, to update the ``package.json`` ``files``.
- If you are going to programmatically load files outside of the ``dis/`` directory ( like the ``package.json`` or files inside ``res/`` ) be mindful that the paths might not be the one you expect. [Details](#accessing-files-outside-the-dist-directory).

A good way to host your repo image is to open an issue named ASSET in your project, close it, create a comment, drag and drop the picture you want to use and that's it. You have a link that you can replace in the ``README.md``.
While you are at it submit this image as *social preview* in your repos github page's settings so that when you share on

# WARNINGS:
# Creating a documentation website for your project:
I recommend [GitBook](https://www.gitbook.com), It enables you to write your documentation in markdown from their
website and get the markdown files synchronized with in your repo.
They will provide you with a nice website for which you can customize the domain name.
All this is covered by their free tier.
Example:
- [repo](https://github.com/garronej/evt)
- [GitBook documentation website](https://docs.evt.land)
I advise you to have a special directory at the root of your project where the markdown documentation files
are stored. It is configured by placing a ``.netbook.yaml`` file at the root of the repo containing, for example:
``root: ./docs/``
PS: I am not affiliated with GitBook in any way.
# Creating a landing page for your project.
Beside the documentation website, you might want to have a catchy landing page to share on social networks.
You can use [GitHub pages](https://pages.github.com) to host it.
If you like the landing page of EVT, [evt.land](http://evt.land), you can fork the [repo](https://github.com/garronej/evt.land) and adapt it for your module.
You'll just have to go to settings and enable Pages.

I personally use [Hurricane Electric](https://dns.he.net) free DNS servers because they support a lot of record types.
If your provider does not support ``ALIAS``, however, you can use ``A`` records and manually enter the IP of GitHub servers.
I let you consult the [GitHub Pages Documentation](https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site#configuring-an-apex-domain).
# Accessing files outside the ``dist/`` directory
