Technologies

Overview

Purple connections are actions done at build-time only. Grey connections can be at build-time or run-time.

strapi.accords-library.com

Our Content Management System (CMS) that uses Strapi.

  • Use the official GraphQL plugin
  • Multilanguage support
  • Markdown format for the rich text fields
  • Use webhooks to notify the front-end, search engine, and image processor when new content/media has been created/modified/deleted

img.accords-library.com

A custom made image processor to overcome the lack of customization offered by Strapi build-in image processor. There is a python script to bulk process all images uploaded to Strapi. Subsequent changes to Strapi's media library can be handled using webhooks. The repo includes a server that listen to these webhook calls, and another to serve the images.

Each image in Strapi's media library is converted to four different formats:

  • Small: 512x512, quality 60, .webp
  • Medium: 1024x1024, quality 75, .webp
  • Large: 2048x2048, quality 80, .webp
  • Og: 512x512, quality 60, .jpg

search.accords-library.com

A search engine that uses Meilisearch. The repo includes a docker-compose file to run an instance of Meilisearch. There is also a server that populates Meilisearch's documents at startup, then listen to webhooks sent by Strapi for subsequent changes.

gallery.accords-library.com

An image board engine, uses Szurubooru, a lighweight engine inspired by Danbooru (and Booru-type galleries in general). Unlike the other subdomains, this repo is completely separated from the rest of the stack.

watch.accords-library.com

A set of tools to archive videos on multiple platforms. The repo contains a CLI tool to archive YouTube videos. There is also a Python script which import the videos metadata to Strapi using GraphQL mutations. Finally, there's a server to serve the video files and thumbnail.

umami.accords-library.com

An open-source self-hosted alternative to Google Analytics which doesn't require a cookie notice to be GDPR compliant.

accords-library.com (this repository)

A detailled look at the technologies used in this repository:

  • Language: TypeScript

  • Framework: Next.js 13 (React 18)

  • SSG + ISR (Static Site Generation + Incremental Static Regeneration)

    • The website is built before running in production
    • Performances are great, and it's possible to deploy the app on a CDN
    • On-Demand ISR to continuously update the website when new content is added or existing content is modified/deleted
    • UI localizations are downloaded separetely into the public/local-data to avoid fetching the same static props for every pages.
  • Queries: GraphQL Code Generator

    • Fetch the GraphQL schema from the GraphQL back-end endpoint
    • Read the operations and fragments stored as graphql files in the src/graphql folder
    • Automatically generates a typesafe ready to use SDK using graphql-request as the GraphQL client
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS

    • Support for creating any arbitrary theme by swapping CSS variables
    • Support for Container Queries (media queries at the element level)
    • The website has a three-column layout, which turns into one-column + 2 toggleable side-menus if the screen is too narrow.
    • Check out our Design System Showcase
  • State Management: Jōtai

    • Jōtai is a small-weighted library for atomic state management
    • Persistent app state using LocalStorage and SessionStorage
  • Markdown

    • Use Marked to convert markdown to HTML (which is then sanitized using DOMPurify)
    • Support for arbitrary React Components and Component Props using markdown-to-jsx
    • Autogenerated multi-level table of content and anchor links for the different headers
  • Accessibility

  • Multilingual

    • By default, use the browser's language as the main language
    • Fallback languages are used for content which are not available in the main language
    • Main and fallback languages can be ordered manually by the user
    • At the content level, the user can know which language is available
    • Furthermore, the user can temporary select another language then the one that was automatically selected
  • UI Localizations

    • The translated wordings use ICU Message Format to include variables, plural, dates...
    • Use a custom ICU Typescript transformation script to provide type safety when formatting ICU wordings
    • Fallback to English if a specific working isn't available in the user's language
  • SEO

    • Good defaults for the metadata and OpenGraph properties
    • Each page can provide a custom thumbnail, title, description to be used
    • Automatic generation of the sitemap using next-sitemap
  • Data Quality Testing

    • Data from the CMS is subject to a battery of tests (about 20 warning types and 40 error types) at build time
    • Each warning/error comes with a front-end link to the incriminating element, as well as a link to the CMS to fix it
    • Check for completeness, conformity, and integrity
  • Code Quality and Style

  • Other
