# apiDoc

apiDoc creates a documentation from API descriptions in your source code.

### Documentation: [apidocjs.com](http://apidocjs.com)

### [Live DEMO](http://apidocjs.com/example/)

## Installation

```bash
$ npm install -g @jusfeel/apidoc
```

## Usage

Add some apidoc comments anywhere in your source code:

```java
/**
 * @api {get} /user/:id Request User information
 * @apiName GetUser
 * @apiGroup User
 *
 * @apiParam {Number} id User's unique ID.
 *
 * @apiSuccess {String} firstname Firstname of the User.
 * @apiSuccess {String} lastname  Lastname of the User.
 */
```

Now generate the documentation from `src/` into `doc/`.

```bash
$ apidoc -i src/ -o doc/
```

This repository contains and `example` folder from which you can generate a very complete documentation on an example api endpoint. It also contains best practice hints (in the `footer.md` file).

```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/apidoc/apidoc && cd apidoc
$ npm install --prod
$ ./bin/apidoc -i example -o /tmp/doc
$ $BROWSER /tmp/doc
```

### Programmatic usage

You can generate the documentation programmatically:

```ts
import path from 'path'
import { createDoc } from 'apidoc'

const doc = createDoc({
  src: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'),
  dest: path.resolve(__dirname, 'doc'), // can be omitted if dryRun is true
  // if you don't want to generate the output files:
  dryRun: true,
  // if you don't want to see any log output:
  silent: true,
})

if (typeof doc !== 'boolean') {
  // Documentation was generated!
  console.log(doc.data) // the parsed api documentation object
  console.log(doc.project) // the project information
}
```

Install type definitions (see [@types/apidoc](https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/types/apidoc/index.d.ts)):

```bash
$ npm install -D @types/apidoc
```
