Sidecar LaraDocs

Statamic Sidecar driver for LaraDocs. Edit your docs/ markdown files in the Statamic Control Panel without changing how LaraDocs builds or serves them.

Installation

composer require statamic/cms petebishwhip/laradocs statamic/sidecar-laradocs
php please sidecar:install laradocs

Or add the collection manually in config/statamic/sidecar.php:

'collections' => [
    'docs' => [
        'driver' => 'laradocs',
        'directory' => base_path('docs'),
    ],
],

What it does

• Registers a docs collection pointed at your LaraDocs content directory
• Enables full Tree mode — drag pages to nest; files move on disk (docs/guide/routing.md)
• Section pages with children become {slug}/_index.md; the site root is docs/_index.md
• Slugs stay plain filenames (no /); nesting comes from the tree
• Syncs per-level order front matter on reorder
• Clears the LaraDocs cache after saves/deletes/reorders
• Live Preview + Visit URL via LaraDocs routes
