next-forge uses Mintlify to generate beautiful docs. Each page is a .mdx file, written in Markdown, with built-in UI components and API playground.

Creating a new page

To create a new documentation page, add a new MDX file to the apps/docs directory. The file name will be used as the slug for the page and the frontmatter will be used to generate the docs page. For example:

apps/docs/hello-world.mdx
---
title: 'Quickstart'
description: 'Start building modern documentation in under five minutes.'
---

Adding a page to the navigation

To add a page to the sidebar, you’ll need to define it in the mint.json file in the apps/docs directory. From the previous example, here’s how you can add it to the sidebar:

mint.json
"navigation": [
  {
    "group": "Getting Started",
    "pages": ["hello-world"]
  },
  {
    // ...
  }
]

Advanced

You can build the docs you want with advanced features.
