Github Repo https://github.com/layoutzweb/jsdoc-modern-template

Usage

Clone this repository to your designated jsdoc template directory, or: npm install jsdoc-chameleon-template --save-dev

Node.js Dependency

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

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

The -c option points to a config file, path relative to your package.json file The -d options tells with directory to save the generated files

In your jsdoc.json file (create one in the root of your project if you don't have one), add a template option.

"opts": {
  "template": "node_modules/jsdoc-chameleon-template"
}

Style Switcher

The Style Switcher is a simple pop up to help you visualise different color and font configurations. To enable the style switcher first take a look at the example configuration in the bottom of this page. Notice it has a key styleSwitcher and a couple of others:

• the colors key, it has all the available default color schemes and you can add yours in case none of the default ones fit's your needs
• the fonts key, which has all the avavilable fonts and just like with colors, you can choose more fonts from Google Fonts and add to the list.

To enable and use it follow these steps:

• Set styleSwitcher:true in your jsdoc.json
• Re-generate your docs by running the generate-docs command
• Visit your documentation page
• Select your scheme and fonts
• Click the export button on the style switcher
• Copy your configuration to your jsdoc.json file

Adding Search

If you would like to enable Algolia DocSearch, you can pass a search object into the templates object.

"templates": {
    "search": {
        "apiKey": "your-api-key",
        "indexName": "Your index name. Defaults to braintree.",
        "hitsPerPage": "Number of Results to show. Defaults to 7.",
    }
}
