Installation and Usage
JSDoc supports Node.js 4.2.0 and later. You can install JSDoc globally or in your project's
node_modules
folder.
To install the latest version on npm globally (may require sudo
; learn how to fix
this):
npm install -g jsdoc
To install the latest version on npm locally and save it in your package's package.json
file:
npm install --save-dev jsdoc
Note: By default, npm adds your package using the caret operator in front of the version number
(for example, ^3.5.2
). We recommend using the tilde operator instead (for example, ~3.5.2
),
which limits updates to the most recent patch-level version. See this Stack Overflow
answer for more information about the caret and tilde
operators.
To install the latest development version locally, without updating your project's package.json
file:
npm install git+https://github.com/jsdoc3/jsdoc.git
If you installed JSDoc locally, the JSDoc command-line tool is available in ./node_modules/.bin
.
To generate documentation for the file yourJavaScriptFile.js
:
./node_modules/.bin/jsdoc yourJavaScriptFile.js
Or if you installed JSDoc globally, simply run the jsdoc
command:
jsdoc yourJavaScriptFile.js
By default, the generated documentation is saved in a directory named out
. You can use the
--destination
(-d
) option to specify another directory.
Run jsdoc --help
for a complete list of command-line options.
