`web-all` Generator

[avivkeller]

We need a generator to generate the web equal of all.html

[AugustinMauroy]

why do we need that ? all.html was cool because we were able to search with browser text search since we introduced a searchbar do we still need that ?

cc @nodejs/TSC do we (👍👎) need to have an all.html file in the new design?

The searchbar requires to have JavaScript enabled on the browser, so it's not exactly the same thing.

Do we have data on how many times all.html gets visited on nodejs.org?

Do we have data on how many times all.html gets visited on nodejs.org?

According to Google Search Console, over the past three months, all.html pages were visited 2.56K times, out of the 5.24M visits to nodejs.org. That's roughly 0.05% of traffic.

For comparison, fs.html was visited 34.7K times.

Don't forget that the documentation build is also for local offline use.

Still works with the search bar... Who would disable JavaScript locally? My fear is that web-all would produce a humongous monster of a HTML since the new DOM tree of the web generator is a bit more complex... Wouldn't a all.json suffice if all you want is to ... have all results in one place?

Bump @nodejs/TSC

In the mean time, adding to the agenda for web and TSC with the question:

Is an all.html page a requirement of the new tooling?

I don't think Google search stats are the correct metric.
