build: stop bundling docs in package by pi0x · Pull Request #4836 · nitrojs/nitro

pi0x · 2026-10-18T02:09:13Z

Removes the dist/docs export generated at build time (via mdzilla) to reduce the install size of the nitro package.

build.config.ts: drop the mdzilla exportSource step.
nitro docs [page]: now opens https://nitro.build/<page> in the browser (open / xdg-open / start) instead of running mdzilla on the bundled docs.
Remove internal docsDir from #nitro/meta (no longer exposed publicly since refactor!: hide internal paths and dev server class from public API #4831).
Remove mdzilla dev dependency.
Update CLI docs page.

📝 Walkthrough

The nitro docs command now opens an optional page on nitro.build in a browser. The build no longer exports documentation to dist/docs, and the mdzilla dependency and related configuration are removed.

Changes: Nitro documentation access

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Open documentation pages in a browser `src/cli/commands/docs.ts`, `docs/1.docs/60.cli.md`	The command resolves an optional page against nitro.build, rejects URLs with a different origin, and opens the URL with a platform-specific command. If launch fails, it warns with the URL for manual access. The command description reflects this behavior.
Remove bundled documentation `build.config.ts`, `src/runtime/_meta.ts`, `package.json`, `pnpm-workspace.yaml`	The build stops exporting documentation, the `docsDir` export is removed, and the `mdzilla` dependency and workspace exclusion are removed.

- Around line 15-20: Replace the shell-based execSync call in the URL-opening
flow with spawn, passing the platform-specific opener and URL as separate
arguments; use rundll32 with the URL handler on Windows. Update the
child_process import accordingly so the user-controlled URL is never parsed by a
shell.
- Around line 10-12: Update the URL resolution in the `run` handler so `nitro
docs` only opens pages on `https://nitro.build`; reject protocol-relative or
absolute page arguments that resolve to another origin before opening the URL.

- Line 25: Update the error handler on the spawned browser child to report the
launch failure and direct the user to the documentation URL already printed as a
fallback; keep the existing successful launch behavior unchanged.
- Line 20: Give the destructured command pair in the docs command handler an
explicit [string, string[]] tuple type so cmd and cmdArgs match the spawn
parameters and typechecking succeeds.
