Doxx

Use dox to automatically generate beautiful html documentation. Doxx is a total refactoring of dox-foundation.

Outputted HTML is by default based on templates and css from Twitter Bootstrap and syntax highlighting is done by Prism.js.

Doxx was tested with JavaScript as well as generated JavaScript from CoffeeScript.

Demo

• doxx/docs/compile.js
• doxx/docs/dir.js
• doxx/docs/parser.js

Usage

JavaScript JavaDoc style

/**
 * Create an array of all the right files in the source dir
 * @param  {String}   source path
 * @param  {Object}   options
 * @param  {Function} callback
 * @return {Array} an array of string path
 */
function collectFiles(source, options, callback) {
  ...
}

CoffeeScript JavaDoc style

###*

 * @param  {String}   source path

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using grunt.
