apiDoc creates a documentation from API descriptions in your source code.
Documentation: apidocjs.com
Example output.
$ npm install -g apidocAdd some apidoc comments anywhere in your source code:
/**
* @api {get} /user/:id Request User information
* @apiName GetUser
* @apiGroup User
*
* @apiParam {Number} id User's unique ID.
*
* @apiSuccess {String} firstname Firstname of the User.
* @apiSuccess {String} lastname Lastname of the User.
*/Now generate the documentation from src/ into doc/.
$ apidoc -i src/ -o doc/This repository contains and example folder from which you can generate a very complete documentation on an example api endpoint. It also contains best practice hints (in the footer.md file).
$ git clone https://github.com/apidoc/apidoc && cd apidoc
$ npm install --prod
$ ./bin/apidoc -i example -o /tmp/doc
$ $BROWSER /tmp/docYou can generate the documentation programmatically:
import path from 'path'
import { createDoc } from 'apidoc'
const doc = createDoc({
src: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'),
dest: path.resolve(__dirname, 'doc')
})
if (typeof doc !== 'boolean') {
// Documentation was generated!
console.log(doc.data) // `api_data.json` file content
console.log(doc.project) // `api_project.json` file content
}Install type definitions (see @types/apidoc):
$ npm install -D @types/apidocYou can use apidoc in Docker like this:
# first build the image after cloning this repository
docker build -t apidoc/apidoc .
# run it
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/home/node/apidoc apidoc/apidoc -o outputdir -i inputdir-
