About Remix Project

Remix Project is a platform for development tools that use a plugin architecture. It encompasses sub-projects including Remix Plugin Engine, Remix Libraries, and of course Remix IDE.

Remix IDE is an open source web and desktop application. It fosters a fast development cycle and has a rich set of plugins with intuitive GUIs. Remix is used for the entire journey of contract development with Solidity language as well as a playground for learning and teaching Ethereum.

Start developing using Remix on browser, visit: https://remix.ethereum.org

For desktop version, see releases: https://github.com/ethereum/remix-desktop/releases

Remix libraries work as a core of native plugins of Remix IDE. Read more about libraries here

Build

Steps to build this project are as follows:

First, you need to set up a Python virtual environment. This is a self-contained environment where you can install Python packages without interfering with your system's Python installation. Here's how you can create and activate a Python virtual environment:

# Create a virtual environment
# By placing in `.vscode` these will be git ignored, and not committed
python3 -m venv .vscode/venv

# Activate the virtual environment
# On Windows:
.vscode\venv\Scripts\activate

# On Unix or MacOS:
source venv/bin/activate

Once the virtual environment is activated, you can install the necessary Python packages:

pip3 install sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme
pip3 install myst-parser

Then, you can clone the repository and build the project:

git clone https://github.com/ethereum/remix-ide.git
cd remix-ide/docs/ # into /docs subfolder
make html

Go to docs/_build/html and start a Python HTTP server to serve the HTML files:

cd _build/html
python3 -m http.server

View by visiting http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.

When you're done, you can deactivate the virtual environment:

deactivate

Custom theming

The documentation is built using Sphinx and the Read the Docs theme as a base. The theme has been customized using CSS overrides and JavaScript to built on top of the base theme.

conf.py

html_js_files = [
    "js/constants.js",
    "js/utils.js",
    "js/loaders.js",
    "js/initialize.js"
]

html_css_files = ["css/fonts.css", "css/tokens.css", "css/custom.css"]

These js and css files are been declared to run once the initial theming has been applied.

File (docs/_static/) Description
constants.js Contains all JavaScript constants to be used throughout the other scripts.
utils.js Contains all utility/helper functions to be used throughout the other scripts.
loaders.js Contains primary logic for all the loading scripts, organized by initialize.js.
initialize.js Contains high-level script logic. Declares order of loader.js functions to be run during onDOMContentLoaded (immediately after the initial DOM content has been loaded)
css/fonts.css Contains all font imports and declarations.
css/tokens.css Contains all CSS theming variables and tokens used throughout the other CSS files.
css/custom.css Contains all custom CSS overrides and theming. This uses existing CSS selectors from the Sphinx theming to select and override various styling.
