Documentation

See project documentation

This project implements an extension of EDoc documentation by using the color scheme similar to GitHub, and generate the overview.edoc from the README.md.

In order to use this feature, modify your Makefile to include:

-include build-aux/docs-addon.mk

build-aux/docs-addon.mk:
	@echo "Fetching build-aux/docs-addon.mk" && \
		mkdir -p build-aux && \
		curl -s -o build-aux/docs-addon.mk https://raw.githubusercontent.com/saleyn/util/master/build-aux/docs-addon.mk

Also in your rebar.config add:

{edoc_opts, [{overview,        "build-aux/overview.edoc"},
             {stylesheet_file, "build-aux/edoc.css"},
             {title,           "Project title used by rebar and also inserted as title to the index.html"},
             {keywords,        "HTML meta keywords (comma-delimited) for search engine crawlers"}, 
             ...]}.

NOTE: the keywords option is not specific to EDoc but used by the HTML reformatting make file docs-addon.mk.

This will add the following targets to your Makefile:

docs - Make documentation from source code
gh-pages - Create GitHub pages for the current project
get-version - Show application release version from the *.app.src and rebar.config
set-version - Set the version number for the above (make set-version version=X.Y.Z)
clean-docs - Remove the generated files in the doc directory

Elixir

To add functions from user_default.erl to Elixir's iex shell, add ~/.iex.exs file containing:

import :user_default
