21ce7ea420 docs: align type import guidelines with ESLint configuration (#17275)
### Summary
The style guide currently discourages type imports, which contradicts
the enforced ESLint rule
`@typescript-eslint/consistent-type-imports` and existing code usage
(e.g. Storybook stories).

This PR updates the documentation to recommend inline type imports,
aligning the style guide
with tooling and preventing contributor confusion.

### Why
- Aligns documentation with enforced ESLint configuration
- Prevents ESLint auto-fix conflicts
- Improves contributor experience

  • User Guide (46 pages) - Complete guide for Twenty users
  • Developers (24 pages) - Technical documentation for developers
  • Twenty UI (25 pages) - UI component library documentation

🚀 Local Development

To run the documentation locally:

# From the twenty monorepo root
npx nx run twenty-docs:dev

The documentation will be available at http://localhost:3000

📝 Editing Content

Adding/Editing Pages

  1. Edit MDX files in the appropriate directory:

    • user-guide/ - User documentation
    • developers/ - Developer documentation
    • twenty-ui/ - Component documentation
  2. Update navigation/base-structure.json if you need to change the tab/group hierarchy or add/remove pages. This file stays in the repo and is not uploaded to Crowdin.

  3. Keep the translation template (navigation/navigation.template.json) in sync by running yarn docs:generate-navigation-template after editing the base structure. This template is the only file that should be pushed to Crowdin.

  4. For each translated locale pulled from Crowdin, ensure a packages/twenty-docs/l/<language>/navigation.json file exists. These files contain labels only; page slugs always come from the base structure.

  5. Run yarn docs:generate to rebuild docs.json from the base structure + translated labels.

MDX Format

All documentation pages use MDX format with frontmatter:

---
title: Page Title
description: Page description
image: /images/path/to/image.png
---

Your content here...

Adding Images

  1. Place images in the /images/ directory
  2. Reference them in MDX: ![Alt text](/images/your-image.png)
  3. Or use Mintlify Frame component:
<Frame>
  <img src="/images/your-image.png" alt="Description" />
</Frame>

🔧 Configuration

  • navigation/base-structure.json - Source of truth for tabs, groups, icons, and page slugs (English only, not sent to Crowdin).
  • navigation/navigation.template.json - Generated translation template (labels only) that is uploaded to Crowdin.
  • l/<language>/navigation.json - Locale-specific label files pulled from Crowdin.
  • docs.json - Generated Mintlify configuration (always run yarn docs:generate after modifying navigation files).
  • package.json - Package dependencies and scripts (docs:generate, docs:generate-navigation-template, …).
  • project.json - Nx workspace configuration
