Library Configuration

A Hyperlibrary is a collection of Hyperbooks and Hyperlibraries. You can use it to merge several books into one big one. The books are automatically linked to each other. For this purpose a new link will be added to the links in the upper right corner. In its submenus you will find the linked Hyperbooks.

This documentation is also a Hyperlibrary. For the translations there is a separate Hyperbook for each translation. These individual Hyperbooks are combined in a Hyperlibrary. The menu item 'Translations' is the product of this linkage.

All you have to do is create a hyperlibrary.json file.

Property	Description
name*	Name of the library.
library[]	An array of books and libraries.
library[].src*	Path to a book or library.
library[].basePath*	Overwrites the basePath of a book or library.
library[].icon	An icon für the menu.
library[].name	A name für the menu. If no name is provided, it will use the one defined in the `hyperbook.json` or `hyperlibrary.json`
basePath	Defines the basePath of the library.

Here is an example of a hyperlibrary.json:

{
  "name": "Translations",
  "library": [
    { "src": "de", "name": "Deutsch", "basePath": "de", "icon": "🇩🇪" },
    { "src": "en", "name": "English", "basePath": "/", "icon": "🇬🇧" }
  ]
}

You can also define translations. The translations will be selected based on the lanauge option in the corresponding hyperbook.json

{
  "name": { "en": "Translations", "de": "Übersetzungen" },
  "library": [
    {
      "src": "de",
      "name": { "en": "German", "de": "Deutsch" },
      "basePath": "de",
      "icon": "🇩🇪"
    },
    {
      "src": "en",
      "name": { "en": "English", "de": "Englisch" },
      "basePath": "/",
      "icon": "🇬🇧"
    }
  ]
}

hyperbook dev funktioniert noch nicht mit Hyperlibrary. Der aktuelle Workaround besteht darin, die Hyperbook separat mit hyperbook dev zu starten. Daher fehlt bei der lokalen Entwicklung das verknüpfende Menü.
