How-to guide template

Suggested template and guidance for creating a how-to guide

Contributing a new how-to guide

How-to guides provide step-by-step practical guidance to readers who wish to:

  • Enable a feature
  • Integrate a technology
  • Use Dapr in a specific scenario

How-to guides can be considered “next-level”, self-guided docs compared to quickstarts. How-to scenarios will take longer and can be more easily applied to the reader’s individual project or environment.

When naming your how-to document, include the sub-directory name in the file name. If you need to create a new sub-directory, make sure it’s descriptive and includes the relevant component or concept name. For example, pubsub-namespaces.
