Code samples for DevRel

Exercise:

🤖 Task:

Include code from this repository in the Google Developer Academy documentation site.

🤹‍♂️ Description:

In this exercise you will each pull code from this repository using the includecode template tag to include snippets in our documentation site. This repository has a sample code file android_client.kt which has an example for Creating a Fitness API client in Kotlin using the Android Fit SDK. You also have an exercise2 folder under your devsite GDA workspace in google3 which has the iX (information eXperience) document for this code sample.

# Path to the exercise2 folder
google3_root> third_party/devsite/internal/en/experimental/gda/<USERNAME>

# Structure
exercise2
  |-- adding-snippets.md      # file you must work on
  |-- adding-snippets-sol.md  # solution file to validate your work

🧞‍♂️ Solution:

• The solution for the iX documentation changes is available in the file adding-snippets-sol.md under the exercise2 directory in google3
• The solution for the source code changes is available in this repository under the git branch answers

---

😎 Your mision should you choose to accept it:

Using the includecode template tag in the iX document and region tags in the source code file, embed the code snippets pulled from this repository in the documentation.

---

Step 1:

Check if this repository has been set up to be mirrored into Gerrit (Git-on-Borg).

• Go to: https://github.git.corp.google.com/
• Paste GoogleDeveloperAcademy in the repository to find for field
• Press FIND and check if the code-snippets repository has been mirrored

Step 2:

Clone this repository locally and create new branch to work on. After completing this step, you should be able to see a branch after your <USERNAME> in this repository.

git clone https://github.com/GoogleDeveloperAcademy/code-snippets
cd code-snippets
git checkout -b <USERNAME>
git push --set-upstream origin <USERNAME>

Step 2:

Add a region tag covering the entire source code file android_client.kt.

# add the region as explained in the slides encompassing the whole file
# save the file
git add android_client.kt
git commit -m "chore: add first region tag"
git push

Step 3:

Update the iX document adding-snippets.md under your google3 GDA workspace to include code from this file using the includecode template tag. For this step include the code in the space where you find the first TODO in the document.

🎯 HINT 1: To point to a region_tag from a specific git branch use the git_revision attribute of the includecode template.
🎯 HINT 2: The expected format for the git_revision attribute is refs/heads/<BRANCH_NAME>

Step 4:

Stage and view the iX document (adding-snippets.md) through Cider.

• Cider > Tools > DevSite > Stage current file
• Cider > Tools > DevSite > Open staged file

🚀 ⚡YOU SHOULD SEE THE CODE FROM THE android_client.kt FILE RENDERED IN THE DOCUMENT ⚡🚀

Bonus steps:

• Add 5 different region tags to each of the different sections (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) in the android_client.kt file and include each of them seperately in place of the 5 TODOs in the iX document adding-snippets.md
• Try to highlight specific sections of different sections
• Try if you can create a second language tab for Groovy (you can include the same Kotlin code to practice)
