Site Configuration

Diplodocus works without any settings, but there are some configurable options.

Diplodocus accepts YAML, JSON or TypeScript configuration files. The file should be diplodocus.(yaml|yml|json) in the same directory with the entry point file of Deno Deploy such as server.ts.

├── docs/
├── diplodocus.yml
└── server.ts

If there are multiple configuration files, Diplodocus will choose one of them by this priority: (high) yaml yml json (low).

Format

diplodocus.yaml / diplodocus.yml

sourceDir: docs
