jQuery Validation Plugin - Content Repository

This repository contains the documentation and content for the jQuery Validation Plugin website.

GitHub Pages Deployment

This site is automatically deployed to GitHub Pages using Jekyll.

How it Works

• Content is written in Markdown with Jekyll front matter
• The site is built using Jekyll (configured in _config.yml)
• GitHub Actions automatically builds and deploys the site when changes are pushed to the main or master branch
• The workflow is defined in .github/workflows/deploy-pages.yml

Local Development

To test the site locally:

1. Install Ruby 2.7 or higher and Bundler:

   gem install bundler

2. Install dependencies:

   bundle install
   npm install
   npm run copy-libs

3. Run Jekyll locally:

   bundle exec jekyll serve

4. Open your browser to http://localhost:4000/validation-content/

Note: This site uses Jekyll 4.x. If you encounter issues, ensure you have Ruby 2.7 or higher installed.

Making Changes

1. Edit or create Markdown files (.md) in the root directory
2. Each file should have Jekyll front matter at the top:

   ---
   layout: default
   title: Your Page Title
   ---

3. Commit and push your changes
4. GitHub Actions will automatically build and deploy the site
