grunt-jsdoc   


This plugin enables you to integrate the generation of comments based documentation into your Grunt build.

Generate your documentation

This plugin requires Grunt >=0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

``shell
npm install grunt-jsdoc --save-dev
`

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

`js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-jsdoc');
`

$3

First, add the jsdoc entry to the options of the initConfig method of your Gruntfile.js :

`javascript
grunt.initConfig({
jsdoc : {
dist : {
src: ['src/.js', 'test/.js'],
options: {
destination: 'doc'
}
}
}
});
`

The supported options are

* src : an array of pattern that matches the files to extract the documentation from. You can also include a README.
* dest : (alias to options.destination) set up the destination folder, the grunt way
* jsdoc: (optional) the path to the jsdoc bin (needed only for some border line cases)
* options : options used by jsdoc
* destination: the folder where the doc is generated
* ... All jsdoc options are available (see usejsdocCli documentation).
* ignoreWarnings : (optional) do not show jsdoc warnings

$3

This plugin is a wrapper around jsdoc3. Please refer to the documentation for the documentation details.

$3

The plugin includes only the jsdoc3 template but you can configure any other jsdoc3 template. For example you can use ink-docstrap.

`
npm install --save-dev ink-docstrap
`

And in your Gruntfile.js :

`javascript
jsdoc : {
dist : {
src: ['src/*/.js', 'README.md'],
options: {
destination : 'doc',
template : "node_modules/ink-docstrap/template",
configure : "node_modules/ink-docstrap/template/jsdoc.conf.json"
}
}
}
`

Generation

To generate the documentation, you need to call the jsdoc task :

`bash
$> grunt jsdoc
`

or integrate it to your build sequence :

`javascript
grunt.registerTask('default', ['lint', 'test', 'jsdoc']);
`

Compatibility

$3

I have removed the direct dependency to ink-docstrap. If you still want it, grab the dependency by yourself (npm install --save-dev ink-docstrap)

$3

The private option follows now the default jsdoc behavior : false by default.

Contributions

Every contribution is more than welcomed. You can:
- report issues
- Fix, improve the configuration, add new features. The best is to fork and submit a pull request
- Test and adapt to other OS
- Fix my English mistakes
- Update the documentation
- Create a better logo
- Offer me a coffee (I'm maintaining this plugin on my free time)

For documentation related issues, please use the jsdoc issue tracker

To be sure the issue comes from the Grunt plugin, you can check by comparing the results with a jsdoc command. Run the task with the --debug flag to retrieve the jsdoc command to run.
