Hotdoc NPM | npm.io

🌭 Hotdoc

A SASSier responsive documentation template theme for JSDoc 3 based on docdash

Why

I really liked docdash, but wanted to customize it. When I looked at the CSS, I mostly wanted to die, so I gutted a bunch of it, rewrote it in SASS, and here we are.

Install

$ npm install hotdoc

Usage

Clone repository to your designated jsdoc template directory
Modify the colors, fonts, and whatever else you want in src-static/styles/_variables.scss
Run webpack to rebuild

In your thing

$ jsdoc entry-file.js -t path/to/hotdoc/template

Usage (npm)

Note: If you want to customize things, you should follow the steps above. Better npm workflow integration is the plan, but it's clunky for now. Sorry. I'll totally accept pull requests!

In your projects package.json file add a new script:

"script": {
  "generate-docs": "node_modules/.bin/jsdoc -c jsdoc.json"
}

In your jsdoc.json file, add a template option.

"opts": {
  "template": "node_modules/hotdoc/template"
}

Sample `jsdoc.json`

See the config file for the fixtures or the sample below.

{
    "tags": {
        "allowUnknownTags": false
    },
    "source": {
        "include": "../js",
        "includePattern": ".js$",
        "excludePattern": "(node_modules/|docs)"
    },
    "plugins": [
        "plugins/markdown"
    ],
    "opts": {
        "template": "assets/template/hodoc/",
        "encoding": "utf8",
        "destination": "docs/",
        "recurse": true,
        "verbose": true
    },
    "templates": {
        "cleverLinks": false,
        "monospaceLinks": false
    }
}

Options

Hotdoc supports the following options:

{
    "hotdoc": {
        "static": [false|true],         // Display the static members inside the navbar
        "sort": [false|true],           // Sort the methods in the navbar
        "collapsible": [true|false],    // If set, categories will be collapsible
        "startExpanded": [true|false],  // If not set, categories are collapsed by default
        "home": "Home",          // Text that appears on the "Home" link
        // if set, the corner will link to the GitHub project
        "github": "http://github.com/kmck/hotdoc",
        // custom variables are added under the default variables and mixins,
        // but before any style declarations
        "customVariables": "path/to/your/variables.scss",
        // custom overrides are added under the default styles
        "customOverrides": "path/to/your/overrides.scss"
    }
}

Place them anywhere inside your jsdoc.json file.

If you just want to customize the colors and fonts, set the customVariables option to the path to your custom _variables.scss file. Refer to the default _variables.scss for a list of variables you can change.
