gatsby-transformer-jsdoc v1.0.1

gatsby-transformer-documentationjs

Uses Documentation.js to extract code metadata (JSDocs is supported currently though Flow is also supported by Documentation.js and can be added to this plugin as well).

It's used on gatsbyjs.org and can be seen in use on several pages there e.g. https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/node-apis/

Install

npm install --save gatsby-transformer-documentationjs

How to use

Add the plugin to your gatsby-config.js.

plugins: [`gatsby-transformer-documentationjs`]

Ensure that there's an instance of gatsby-source-filesystem that's pointed at your source code e.g.

plugins: [
  `gatsby-transformer-documentationjs`,
  {
    resolve: `gatsby-source-filesystem`,
    options: {
      name: `source`,
      path: `${__dirname}/../src/`,
    },
  },
]

Then you can write GraphQL queries pulling out JSDoc comments like:

{
  allDocumentationJs {
    edges {
      node {
        name
        description {
          childMarkdownRemark {
            html
          }
        }
        returns {
          title
        }
        examples {
          raw
          highlighted
        }
        params {
          name
          type {
            name
          }
          description {
            childMarkdownRemark {
              html
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
