Documentation

Requirements

1. Make sure you have the latest version of Node.js installed.
2. Proper docsator.config.json file.

Installation

Run:

npm install @aventum/docsator -g

How to use it?

Go to the folder that contains the js(files/folders) and you have permissions to write into it and run:

docsator

Docsator will recursively collect the js files from the folders.

How it works

Docsator uses comment-parser behind the scenes to parse the comments.

docsator.config.json

Docsator reads its configurations from this file, here is a sample of what this file must contain:

{
  "replace": "__dirname",
  "with": "",
  "folder": "docs",
  "tags": [
    {
      "tag": "hook",
      "file": "hooks.md"
    }
  ]
}

You can create this file manually using any text editor, here is what every configuration means:

• replace and with: (String) Replace replace with the with option in the file name that will be printed in the documentation(the file that contains the comment, i.e. the source file), use either __dirname to refer the current folder or a hardcoded path.
• folder: (String) The folder that Docsator will put the documentation files in.
• tags: (Array) Array of tags, for the example above Docsator will generate hooks.md file that contains the formatted comments, these comments contain the hook tag.
