Standalone Usage (Recommended)

# Use existing OpenAPI spec - No additional dependencies required
npx @confytome/markdown --spec ./path/to/your-api-spec.json --output ./docs

With confytome.json Configuration

# Generate from API code - Requires @confytome/core
npx @confytome/markdown --config ./confytome.json --output ./api-docs

⚙️ Options

| Option | Short | Description | Default | |--------|-------|-------------|---------| | --config | -c | Path to confytome.json config file | ./confytome.json | | --output | -o | Output directory for generated files | ./docs | | --spec | | Path to existing OpenAPI spec file | | | --version | -V | Show version number | | | --help | -h | Show help information | | | --no-brand | | Exclude confytome branding from documentation | |

🎯 Two Usage Scenarios

✅ Scenario 1: Standalone with Existing Spec

Perfect when you already have an OpenAPI specification file.

npx @confytome/markdown --spec ./my-api-spec.json

• ✅ No additional dependencies
• ✅ Works immediately
• ✅ Perfect for CI/CD pipelines

⚙️ Scenario 2: Generate from Code

When you need to generate the OpenAPI spec from your API code first.

npx @confytome/markdown --config ./confytome.json

• ⚠️ Requires @confytome/core for spec generation
• ✅ Full workflow from code to documentation
• ✅ Automatic spec generation

If @confytome/core is not installed, you'll see helpful guidance:

💡 You have two options:
   1. Install @confytome/core:
      npm install -g @confytome/core
   2. Provide existing OpenAPI spec:
      npx @confytome/markdown --spec path/to/spec.json

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Templates not found

Ensure Mustache templates are in the templates/ directory. Default templates are included with the package.

"Specified OpenAPI spec file not found"

# Check file path exists
ls -la ./path/to/your-spec.json

# Use absolute path if needed
npx @confytome/markdown --spec $(pwd)/api-spec.json

"OpenAPI spec not found, generating it first"

This means you're using config mode but don't have @confytome/core installed.

# Option 1: Install core
npm install -g @confytome/core

# Option 2: Use existing spec instead
npx @confytome/markdown --spec ./path/to/existing-spec.json
