slide.ng docs

The documentation website for slide.ng, a slide deck tool that turns one markdown file into an Angular app. It is live at slide-ng.dev and built with NgMd.

It covers getting started, a guide, a page for every feature, the built-in reference (layouts, components, directives, shortcuts, CLI, frontmatter keys), customizing, a comparison with Slidev, and live example decks.

_{Type markdown, get slides.}

Develop

Node 22.22.3 or newer (see .nvmrc) and pnpm.

pnpm install
pnpm run dev          # http://localhost:5173
pnpm run build        # static site in dist/analog/public, with the link guards
pnpm run check:dist   # checks every internal link, image and script of the built HTML
pnpm run check:landing # opens the built home page in Chromium and checks the live demo
pnpm test             # unit tests
pnpm run format:check

How the site is made

• Pages are markdown files under src/content/. The path is the URL.
• The sidebar, header links and the site's name and URL are in src/ngmd.config.ts.
• The home page is src/app/pages/index.page.ts; its live demo is in src/app/landing/.
• <ngmd-demo src="/demos/starter/" title="..."></ngmd-demo> embeds a built deck in an iframe. Besides paths of this site it embeds addresses on slide-ng.github.io, in a sandboxed frame.
• The Resources menu in the header and the Resources section of the sidebar lead to the showcases, the theme gallery, the starter and the live demos (src/content/resources/). The showcase pages are generated from showcases.json of the slide-ng/showcases repository and committed:

SLIDE_NG_SHOWCASES_DIR=../slide.ng-showcases pnpm run showcases

• The decks in demos/<name>/slides.md are built with the slide.ng CLI into public/demos/<name>/ and the built files are committed, so building the site needs neither slide.ng nor Chromium. To rebuild them, check out slide.ng (and slide-ng/themes for the theme decks):

SLIDE_NG_DIR=../slide.ng SLIDE_NG_THEMES_DIR=../themes pnpm run demos

Hosting

The site is built for the root of a host by default. For a sub-path, set site.base in src/ngmd.config.ts or build with NGMD_BASE=/docs/ pnpm run build. The production site (slide-ng.dev) is on Cloudflare with build command pnpm run build and deploy command npx wrangler deploy; wrangler.jsonc serves dist/analog/public and the 404 page. The deploy workflow publishes to GitHub Pages.
