                "id":"website_link"
            },
            "Forum": {
                "href":"https://myproject.com.forum",

        "nameInOutputPath": [false|true], // Add name from package file to the output path, true by default.
        "versionInOutputPath": [false|true] // Add package version to the output path, true by default. 
    }
}

Place them anywhere inside your jsdoc.json file.

Categories

Docdash supports custom categories through jsdoc plugin - plugin is available from docdash package. To use categories you need to load the plugin in your jsdoc.json and point location of your categories file:

"plugins": [
    "node_modules/docdash-extended/categories",
],
"categoriesFile": "./categories.json"

Next you need to create your json with your category definitions where key is your category keyword - example categories.json

{
    "model" : {
        "displayName" : "Models and Collections"
    },
    "component" : {
        "displayName" : "Components"
    }
}

Now you can use @category tag in your docs.

/**
 * @category model
 */

If you have custom sectionOrder you need to add "Categories". It is best to add Categories before all other sections because of how Docdash generates navigation elements.
