DocSet Generator

Generates a docSet from html documentation.

Installation

npm install docset-generator --save

Usage

var DocSetGenerator = require('docset-generator').DocSetGenerator;
var docSetGenerator = new DocSetGenerator(
  {
    destination: "/path/to/dir",
    name: "MyDocSet",
    documentation: "/path/to/html"
  });
docSetGenerator.create();

Options

The DocSetGenerator constructor takes one parameter: new DocSetGenerator(configuration)

The configuration parameter is an object with the following keys.

• name: name of the docSet
• documentation: path to the html documentation
• destination: path to the directory in which you want to generate the docSet [optional, falls back to the documentation folder]
• enableJavascript: boolean, enable Javascript in the generated docSet
• entries: Entries that will populate the docSet database [optional]
• icon: path to the docSet icon [optional]
• index: path to the index page of your html documentation [optional, default to index.html]
• platformFamily: will be used to fill the DocSetPlatformFamily attribute in the Info.plist file [optional, falls back to the name]
• identifier: will be used to fill the DocSetIdentifier attribute in the Info.plist file [optional, falls back to the name]

Entries

The entries parameter is an array of entries that will populate the sqlite3 database that comes with the docset.

Structure

Array<{ name:string, type:string, path:string }>

The type has to be one of the supported entry types.

This parameter is optional but without any entries, you won't get a neat overview of your documentation (list of classes, namespaces, methods and whatever else may be useful to you). You can use jsdoc-docset to generate those entries from inside your jsdoc template.
