# Forc Doc | ||
|
||
The Sway language documenter. | ||
|
||
--- | ||
|
||
## Quick Start | ||
|
||
### Prerequisites | ||
|
||
- Must have [`forc`][forc-reference] installed. | ||
- Must be in a directory, or parent directory containing a [`Forc.toml`][manifest-reference] and some Sway code that successfully compiles | ||
- For documentation to appear you need only add doc attributes to documentable items, like so: | ||
```sway | ||
/// Defines my contract ABI... | ||
abi MyContractABI {} | ||
``` | ||
- You may also document at the module level with the module level doc attribute syntax: | ||
> **Note:** This will only work at the beginning of Sway files | ||
```sway | ||
//! Library containing types used for... | ||
library; | ||
``` | ||
Check out the [doc attribute section][sway-reference-attributes-doc] of the Sway reference for more information on how to document Sway code. | ||
|
||
If you've installed a distributed toolchain via [`fuelup`][fuelup-docs], you already have everything you need to run `forc doc`. Otherwise, you can install `forc` & `forc doc` via `cargo install`, or from `fuelup` directly. | ||
|
||
The below commands check you have everything necessary to run `forc doc`. | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
$ cd my_fuel_project | ||
$ ls # check Forc.toml exists | ||
# src Forc.toml | ||
$ forc --version # check forc is installed | ||
$ forc doc --version # check forc doc is installed | ||
$ forc doc --open # open docs in default browser | ||
``` | ||
|
||
For usage, [see the docs][forc-doc-manual]. | ||
|
||
To install `forc doc` for development, see the [Getting Started](#getting-started) section under [Contributing](#contributing). | ||
|
||
## Contributing | ||
|
||
Welcome! We're glad you're here to help. Below is an overview of the program's design choices, as well as how to build `forc doc` and test your changes locally. | ||
|
||
### Build Requirements | ||
|
||
- [`cargo`][install-cargo] | ||
- [`forc`][forc-reference] | ||
- a default, modern browser (older browsers may cause issues) | ||
|
||
> **Tip:** If you see no changes take effect, it may be due to multiple `forc doc` binaries. To prevent this, remove any pre-existing versions that take precedence, such as a `fuelup` binary. You can also avoid this by executing the `forc doc` binary via `cargo run`, see [Viewing Changes](#viewing-changes). | ||
> | ||
> ```sh | ||
> $ which forc-doc | ||
> # ~/.fuelup/bin/forc-doc | ||
> $ rm ~/.fuelup/bin/forc-doc | ||
> $ which forc-doc | ||
> # if it displays nothing, you're good to go! | ||
> ``` | ||
### Getting Started | ||
Clone the `sway` repository into your preferred directory: | ||
```sh | ||
$ git clone https://github.com/FuelLabs/sway.git | ||
``` | ||
Then move into the newly created `sway` directory, and install `forc doc`: | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
$ cd sway | ||
$ cargo install --path forc-plugins/forc-doc | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Great! Let's check everything is working as intended. Try running `forc doc` on one of the test directories: | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
$ forc doc --manifest-path src/tests/data/impl_traits --open | ||
``` | ||
|
||
If it succeeded, you should be seeing the test docs in your browser. | ||
|
||
### Development | ||
|
||
New language keyword? Want to add a feature? Updating CSS? `forc doc` is setup to make development easy. | ||
|
||
#### Design Overview | ||
|
||
Each section of the project is labeled to its corresponding functionality. | ||
|
||
- [`doc`](./src/doc/): The documenting phase. Handles analysis of a compiled typed Sway program and collects useful information into `Documents` that can be rendered to HTML. This is where to start if you are trying to implement a new Sway language feature, or make some information about an existing feature available for rendering. | ||
- [`render`](./src/render/): Renders the information collected by the documenting phase into HTML and places them into the `out/doc` directory. This phase is intended to be especially friendly to those familiar with building static HTML webpages. The [`horrorshow` library][horrorshow] uses macros to write HTML that look strikingly similar to writing plain HTML. | ||
- [`licenses`](./src/licenses/): Files that must be present in docs generated by `forc doc` for use of fonts, logos or anything pertaining to the project that requires a license. | ||
- [`static.files`](./src/static.files/): Files that must be present in docs generated by `forc doc` in order for styling to take effect, eg CSS, icons & fonts. | ||
- [`tests/data`](./src/tests/data/): This is where edge case Sway code lives. If an edge case bug arises, write a minimal reproduction and place it here to start. | ||
|
||
Try running `cargo doc` on the `forc-doc` project directory for an in-depth look at what each section is responsible for! | ||
|
||
#### The Documenting Phase | ||
|
||
##### Documentable Items | ||
|
||
Adding new documentable items is very straight-forward. Documentable items take only two forms, declarations (`TyDecl`s) and context (everything else). | ||
|
||
Declarations can be added directly to the description phase of the analysis, found in [`descriptor.rs`](./src/doc/descriptor.rs). Just add the new `TyDecl` to the match arm of `from_typed_decl` and fill in the necessary fields for the resulting `Descriptor` wrapped `Document`, then return it as `Documentable`. | ||
|
||
Context items, eg fields on structs, variants of an enum etc, must be added to the `ContextType` enum, found in [`context.rs`](./src/render/item/context.rs) and collected at the time of its corresponding `TyDecl`'s analysis. The `ContextType` is wrapped by a `Context` struct which is later sorted and rendered to the `ItemContext` of a `RenderedDocument`. | ||
|
||
Example: | ||
|
||
Let's say that we want to have a new declaration type called `CoolNewDecl`, modeled after the `StructDecl` but with some special purpose. | ||
|
||
First, we would add the context of the declaration to the `ContextType` as a variant: | ||
|
||
```rust | ||
// in context.rs | ||
pub(crate) enum ContextType { | ||
// Add in the new declaration's context type | ||
CoolNewFields(Vec<TyCoolNewField>), | ||
/* ... */ | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Then, match for the new declaration and return the `Document`. | ||
|
||
```rust | ||
// in descriptor.rs | ||
pub(crate) enum Descriptor { | ||
Documentable(Document), | ||
NonDocumentable, | ||
} | ||
impl Descriptor { | ||
pub(crate) fn from_typed_decl(/* ... */) -> Result<Self> { | ||
match ty_decl { | ||
// Add the new declaration to the match arm | ||
ty::TyDecl::CoolNewDecl(ty::CoolNewDecl { decl_id, .. }) => { | ||
let decl = decl_engine.get_cool_new_decl(decl_id); | ||
if !document_private_items && decl.visibility.is_private() { | ||
Ok(Descriptor::NonDocumentable) | ||
} else { | ||
let item_name = decl.call_path.suffix; | ||
let attrs_opt = (!decl.attributes.is_empty()) | ||
.then(|| decl.attributes.to_html_string()); | ||
// Fill in the context of the new declaration | ||
let context = (!decl.fields.is_empty()).then_some(Context::new( | ||
module_info.clone(), | ||
ContextType::CoolNewFields(decl.fields), | ||
)); | ||
|
||
Ok(Descriptor::Documentable(Document { | ||
module_info: module_info.clone(), | ||
item_header: ItemHeader { | ||
module_info: module_info.clone(), | ||
friendly_name: ty_decl.friendly_type_name(), | ||
item_name: item_name.clone(), | ||
}, | ||
item_body: ItemBody { | ||
module_info, | ||
ty_decl: ty_decl.clone(), | ||
item_name, | ||
code_str: swayfmt::parse::parse_format::<sway_ast::ItemCoolNew>( | ||
decl.span.as_str(), | ||
)?, | ||
attrs_opt: attrs_opt.clone(), | ||
item_context: ItemContext { | ||
context_opt: context, | ||
impl_traits: None, | ||
}, | ||
}, | ||
raw_attributes: attrs_opt, | ||
})) | ||
} | ||
} | ||
/* ... */ | ||
_ => Ok(Descriptor::NonDocumentable), | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Once the declarations are collected into a `Document`, the `Document` can then be rendered. Refer to the `from_raw_docs` method on `RenderedDocumentation` found in [`render/mod.rs`](./src/render/mod.rs) for the beginning of the rendering phase. There you can find plenty of examples on how to render `Document`s into `RenderedDocument`s if you are adding in a new documentable item. | ||
|
||
##### Index File Generation | ||
|
||
Index files, such as the `AllDocIndex`, `ProjectIndex` and `ModuleIndex`s, are rendered using only the information gathered from Sway modules. The process for their rendering can also be found in the `RenderedDocumentation::from_raw_docs` method. `ModuleInfo` is gathered from at point of generating the `Documentation` from a `TyProgram`, found in [`doc/mod.rs`](./src/doc/mod.rs). This is the starting point of the entire analytical process, where a `TyProgram` is compiled and passed to `Documentation::from_ty_program`. | ||
|
||
#### The Rendering Phase | ||
|
||
As stated before, rendering is fairly straight-forward in `forc doc`, as the HTML is that of a generic webpage. | ||
|
||
Let's try writing a small render-side example together, using the `horrorshow` library. | ||
|
||
Here is the HTML for the search bar on [`docs.rs`][docs.rs]: | ||
|
||
```html | ||
<nav class="sub"> | ||
<form class="search-form"> | ||
<div class="search-container"> | ||
<span></span> | ||
<input | ||
class="search-input" | ||
name="search" | ||
autocomplete="off" | ||
spellcheck="false" | ||
placeholder="Click or press ‘S’ to search, ‘?’ for more options…" | ||
type="search" | ||
/> | ||
<div id="help-button" title="help" tabindex="-1"> | ||
<a href="../help.html">?</a> | ||
</div> | ||
<div id="settings-menu" tabindex="-1"> | ||
<a href="../settings.html" title="settings"> | ||
<img | ||
width="22" | ||
height="22" | ||
alt="change settings" | ||
src="../static.files/wheel-7b819b6101059cd0.svg" | ||
/> | ||
</a> | ||
</div> | ||
</div> | ||
</form> | ||
</nav> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Here is the corresponding `horrorshow` code that produces the same HTML: | ||
|
||
```rust | ||
mod search { | ||
use horrorshow::{box_html, RenderBox}; | ||
|
||
pub(crate) fn generate_searchbar() -> Box<dyn RenderBox> { | ||
box_html! { | ||
nav(class="sub") { | ||
form(class="search-form") { | ||
div(class="search-container") { | ||
span; | ||
input( | ||
class="search-input", | ||
name="search", | ||
autocomplete="off", | ||
spellcheck="false", | ||
placeholder="Click or press ‘S’ to search, ‘?’ for more options…", | ||
type="search" | ||
); | ||
div(id="help-button", title="help", tabindex="-1") { | ||
a(href="../help.html") { : "?" } | ||
} | ||
div(id="settings-menu", tabindex="-1") { | ||
a(href="../settings.html", title="settings") { | ||
img( | ||
width="22", | ||
height="22", | ||
alt="change settings", | ||
src="../static.files/wheel-7b819b6101059cd0.svg" | ||
) | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Now we can call this function anytime we need to generate a searchbar for our webpage! | ||
|
||
### Viewing Changes | ||
|
||
Once you've made some changes, run the `forc doc` binary, passing it a path containing a `Forc.toml`: | ||
|
||
```sh | ||
cargo run -- --manifest-path path/to/manifest --open | ||
``` | ||
|
||
> **Tip:** VS Code user? Try the Live Server plugin to make viewing changes even easier. It will reload a webpage on updates, so you only need to rebuild the docs (`cargo run -- --manifest-path path/to/manifest`). Just right click the index file of docs produced by `forc doc` which can be found in the `out/doc` directory, and choose the option "open with Live Server". Voila! | ||
