Anthony Johnson e2a173d393 Add webpack commands into setup.py
This is a POC that shows building webpack through standard `setup.py`
commands. Any call to `setup.py build` or `bdist` or `sdist` will
trigger a Webpack build of the assets first. A non-zero exit code will
halt the process.

Also, moved the `npm run dev` command, which here is `python setup.py
watch`, though there is perhaps something better here. There is already
`python setup.py develop`, which has a separate function, so I don't
want to collide there.

Example output here:

Contributing
************
This project follows the Read the Docs :doc:`code of conduct
<rtd:code-of-conduct>`. If you are not familiar with our code of conduct policy,
take a minute to read the policy before starting with your first contribution.
Modifying the theme
===================
The styles for this theme use SASS_ and a custom CSS framework called Wyrm_. We
use Webpack_ and node-sass_ to build the CSS. Webpack_ is used to watch for
changes, rebuild the static assets, and rebuild the Sphinx demo documentation.
.. note::
The installation of Node is outside the scope of this documentation. You
will need Node version 10+ in order to make changes to this theme.
Set up your environment
-----------------------
#. Install Sphinx_ and documentation build dependencies.
.. code:: console
pip install -e '.[dev]'
#. Install Webpack_, node-sass_, and theme dependencies locally.
.. code:: console
npm install
Making changes
--------------
Changes to the theme can be compiled and tested with Webpack_:
.. code:: console
npm run dev
This script will do the following:
#. Install and update any dependencies.
#. Build the static CSS from SASS source files.
#. Build the demo documentation.
#. Watch for changes to the SASS files and documentation and rebuild everything
on any detected changes.
Alternatively, if you don't need to watch the files, the release build script
can be used to test built assets:
.. code:: console
npm run build
.. _Webpack: https://webpack.js.org/
.. _node-sass: https://github.com/sass/node-sass
.. _SASS: http://www.sass-lang.com
.. _Wyrm: http://www.github.com/snide/wyrm/
.. _Sphinx: http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/
Translations
============
Translations are managed using `Transifex`_. You can join any of the existing
language teams or request a new language is added to the project. For more
information on our translation standards, see our docs on
:doc:`rtd:development/i18n`
Periodically, core team should update the translation files outside our normal
releases. Someone from the core team, with write access to Transifex, should run
the following:
.. code:: console
python setup.py update_translations
This will extract new messages, upload the messages to Transifex, and will
update our local translation files. Changes can be checked in to a branch and
put up for review.

Releasing the theme
===================
To release a new version of the theme, core team will take the following steps:
#. Bump the version in ``sphinx_rtd_theme/__init__.py``, ``setup.py`` and
``package.json``. We follow `semver <http://semver.org/>`_ and `PEP440`_
(with regards to alpha release and development versions). The version
increment should reflect these releases and any potentially breaking changes.
#. Update the changelog (``docs/changelog.rst``) with the version information.
#. Run ``python setup.py update_translations`` to compile new translation files
and update Transifex.
#. Run ``python setup.py build`` to rebuild all the theme assets and the Python
package.
#. Commit these changes.
#. Tag the release in git: ``git tag $NEW_VERSION``.
#. Push the tag to GitHub: ``git push --tags origin``.
#. Upload the package to PyPI:
.. code:: console
rm -rf dist/
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
twine upload --sign --identity security@readthedocs.org dist/*
.. _PEP440: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/
