Solidoc: Documentation Generator for Solidity

This command-line utility creates markdown-based documentation for your Solidity project(s) for the following platforms:

Getting Started

sudo npm install solidoc -g

CLI Arguments

  1. Path to truffle project (or similar) root.
  2. Path to generate documentation to.
  3. Do not recompile. Optional, default: false.
  4. Language. Optional, default: en.

How to Use Solidoc?

On your project root, run the following command.

solidoc ./ ./docs true

This will generate documentation to the docs directory.

Or edit package.json

  "scripts": {
    "docgen": "solidoc ./ ./docs"
  }

and run

npm run docgen

Note

Do not use recompilation (third argument) if you are using this on a non truffle project.

Configuration File

Alternatively, you can create solidoc.json configuration file in your project root.

{
  "pathToRoot": "./",
  "outputPath": "./docs",
  "noCompilation": true,
  "compiler": "truffle compile",
  "language": "en"
}

and then call solidoc instead of passing any command line argument.

Overrides

If you wish to change bits and pieces of the documentation generated, place solidoc templates on the following directory:

./.solidoc/templates/

Solidoc Templates

You can also override language literals by copying and editing i18n files on the following path:

./.solidoc/i18n/
