Having a short snippet code is great, however it’s not possible to fit the detailed example we alreday have in our documentation. Rather than simplifying and not going into details, I think we could have a main page like [2] which give the definition + each snippet. Below the code snipet I’ve added a link: >>> Read more on Pipes on Android / Pipes on iOS / Paging on Web >>> which points to detailled page. >>> >>> I think we should keep this documetation. It goes deeper in the sample code as opposed to snippet which is not necessarly complete code. One think that we could do is use code sample extracted from our cookbook recipe. So we can point to the repository for the full app code. >>> >>> @Hylke Do you have a better idea than just a simple link? I think it’s not visual enough.

In order to do it i needed to split the documentation for iOS/Android (I haven’t done completely JS part). with this exercice what i understand is: > 1. the first view should contain code snippet with shows the unified aspect of client lib. those sippet are not complete code, it should be simplified. > 2. this simplified view is not enough for a developer. Selecting his platform tab, he will be redirected to android for ex complete description on Pipes. Ideally this description is based on a cookbook exemple. > 3. if the developer want to test it himself he’ll have the option to download the complete sample code (github link to cookbook repo) and just run it > > So the explantion goes through 3 layers from 1)high level description (cross platform), 2) detailled explanation linked to a platform to 3) sample code implementation (obvious linked to a platform). > > My question is How to make the transition from 1) to 2) ?
