DocStrap Built with Grunt

DocStrap is Bootstrap based template for JSDoc3. In addition, it includes all of the themes from Bootswatch giving you a great deal of look and feel options for your documentation, along with a simple search. Additionally, it adds some options to the conf.json file that gives you even more flexibility to tweak the template to your needs. It will also make your teeth whiter.

Features

What It Looks Like

Here are examples of this template with the different Bootswatch themes:

To change your theme, just change it in the conf.json file. See below for details.

Ooooh, I want it! How do I get it?

If you manage your own version of jsdoc:

npm install ink-docstrap

When using grunt, please look at grunt-jsdoc which you can use with docstrap.

Command Line Example

jsdoc -c path/to/conf.json -t ./node_modules/ink-docstrap/template -R README.md -r .

The -c sets the config, and the docstrap README does talk about the options you can put in templates that docstrap is supposed to look for.

The -t sets the template. This is the option you need to set to get the docstrap template to be used.

The -R sets a markdown file to be the front page of the documentation.

The -r tells jsdoc to run recursively.

The . says from current directory.

Configuring the template

DocStrap ships with a conf.json file in the template/ directory. It is just a regular old JSDoc configuration file, but with the following new options:

"templates": {
	"systemName"            : "{string}",
	"footer"                : "{string}",
	"copyright"             :  "{string}",
	"includeDate"           : "{boolean}",
	"navType"               : "{vertical|inline}",
	"theme"                 : "{theme}",
	"linenums"              : "{boolean}",
	"collapseSymbols"       : "{boolean}",
	"inverseNav"            : "{boolean}",
	"outputSourceFiles"     : "{boolean}" ,
	"outputSourcePath"      : "{boolean}",
	"dateFormat"            : "{string}",
	"syntaxTheme"           : "{string}",
	"sort"					: "{boolean|string}",
	"search"                : "{boolean}" 
}

Options

Syntax Highlighting

Language

The default language will be JavaScript, but there are a couple of ways to secify the language.

DocStrap support the language specified in the standard way e.g.

```html
<html></html>

DocStrap also introduces a new documentation tag which can appear inside any example block in source code, or in any fenced code block in markdown: {@lang languageName}, where language can be any of the languages supported by Sunlight

When in a doclet, add the tag just after the @example tag like this:

@example {@lang xml} <div>This is the most interesting web site ever</div>

These are the supported languages.

Example Caption

If you want a caption to your example, add it in a HTML caption before your example e.g.

@example <caption>my caption</caption>
{@lang xml}
<mycode></mycode>

Customizing DocStrap

No template can meet every need and customizing templates is a favorite pastime of....well, no-one, but you may need to anyway. First make sure you have bower and grunt-cli installed. Fetch the source using git or grab the zip file from github. and unzip it somewhere. Everything that follows happens in the unzip directory.

Next, prepare the environment:

bower install

and

npm install

When that is done, you have all of the tools to start modifying the template. The template, like Bootstrap, uses less. The way it works is that ./styles/main.less pulls in the bootstrap files uncompiled so that you have access to all of bootstraps mixins, colors, etc, that you would want. There are two more files in that directory, variables.less, bootswatch.less. These are the theme files and you can modify them, but keep in mind that if you apply a new theme (see below) those files will be overwritten. It is best to keep your changes to the main.less file.

To compile your changes to main.less and any other files it loads up,

grunt less

The output is will be put in ./template/static/styles/site.<theme-name>.css. The next time you create your documentation, it will have the new css file included.

To apply a different template to the styles directory to modify, open up the conf.json in the template directory and change the theme option to the theme you want. Then

grunt apply

And the new theme will be in variables.less, bootswatch.less. Don't forget to compile your changes using grunt apply to get that change into the template.

NOTE that these steps are not necessary to just change the theme, this is only to modify the theme. If all you want to do is change the theme, just update conf.json with the new theme and build your docs!
