@tianji-game/apidoc NPM

apiDoc

apiDoc creates a documentation from API descriptions in your source code.

Installation

$ npm install -g @tianji-game/apidoc

Usage

Add some apidoc comments anywhere in your source code:

/**
 * @api {get} /user/:id Request User information
 * @apiName GetUser
 * @apiGroup User
 *
 * @apiParam {Number} id User's unique ID.
 *
 * @apiSuccess {String} firstname Firstname of the User.
 * @apiSuccess {String} lastname  Lastname of the User.
 */

Now generate the documentation from src/ into doc/.

$ apidoc -i src/ -o doc/

This repository contains and example folder from which you can generate a very complete documentation on an example api endpoint. It also contains best practice hints (in the footer.md file).

$ git clone https://github.com/apidoc/apidoc && cd apidoc
$ npm install --prod
$ ./bin/apidoc -i example -o /tmp/doc
$ $BROWSER /tmp/doc

Programmatic usage

You can generate the documentation programmatically:

import path from 'path'
import { createDoc } from 'apidoc'

const doc = createDoc({
  src: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'),
  dest: path.resolve(__dirname, 'doc')
})

if (typeof doc !== 'boolean') {
  // Documentation was generated!
  console.log(doc.data) // `api_data.json` file content
  console.log(doc.project) // `api_project.json` file content
}

Install type definitions (see @types/apidoc):

$ npm install -D @types/apidoc

# first build the image after cloning this repository
