In templates/zerver/api/stream-message.md, we have a sample fixture
for when the target stream does not exist. This commit adds a test
for that sample fixture.
This commit modifies the Markdown extension in bugdown/api_code_examples.py
to support rendering code examples in multiple languages by specifying
the language like so:
{generate_code_example(python)|doc.md|example}
This makes us one step closer towards adding support for testable
JavaScript code examples.
We now have a separate page for common error payloads, for example,
the payload for when the client's API key is invalid. All error
payloads that are presented on this page will be tested similarly
to our other non-error sample fixtures.
To generate a code exammple,
{generate_code_example|<api_doc_md>|example} sounds better and
more intuitive than,
{generate_code_example|<api_doc_md>|method}
This commit uses the Markdown extension defined in
zerver/lib/bugdown/api_generate_examples to generate the example
fixture and code example, so that both are tested in
tools/lib/api_tests.
It makes sense to make our Python and JS API examples more visible
than our curl examples, since Python is what most people will tend
to use.
Also, from a design perspective, an API documentation page that
starts off with a shiny Python example with syntax highlighting
looked much better than having a bland curl example be the first
thing readers see.
The JS module we ask our users to install in the installation
instructions is zulip-js, not zulip. These examples would fail
with the latter. This commit updates the examples to use the
name zulip-js.
This commit does the following:
* Move the Arguments table data from stream-message.md and
private-message.md to a JSON file.
* Add a Markdown extension that allows one to include and render
a table from a JSON file like so:
{generate_arguments_table|arguments.json|private-stream.md}
* Use Bootstrap's .table class to format the table instead of
relying on custom CSS.
The JSON response for when an invalid API key is used to initiate
an API call seems to be identical in every case, so this macro
can be reused all the time.
The JSON response for when an API call to send a message is
successful is the same for both private and stream messages, so
these macros may be used again.
This commit adds the following:
* A table specifying the arguments that are required for this API
call.
* Examples of JSON responses.
This will help us in obsoleting api_endpoints.html.
This commit splits usage.md into two separate docs,
stream-message.md and private-message.md. The arguments and return
values for sending a stream message are somewhat different from
those of sending a private message, so it made sense to split the
two up for clarity.
