JSDoc template Argon

Note : this is very much a WIP until this project reach v1.0

During my own documentation journey with es2015+ code, I found that it was tedious to get a nice documentation website with existing tooling. There's two alternatives :

• ESDoc: a nice documentation tool+template built for ES2015+ code. The downside is that it is very strict compared to what you can document with JSDoc
• JSDoc: the reference for JavaScript code documentation although it does not support properly all es2015+ and it lacks good website templates (in my opinion)

An example of how the template look likes :

Usage

Install jsdoc-template-argon somewhere on your machine (it can be in your deps)

npm install --save-dev jsdoc-template-argon
jsdoc src/ -c .jsdoc.json -r -d docs -t node_modules/jsdoc-template-argon

Please if you have any problem with es2015, make sure to read ES2015+ issues before posting.

Demo

This project is self-documented using itself !

https://oza94.github.io/jsdoc-template-argon

Keep in mind that some demos use existing open source projects (lodash, pixi.js) but this is not their official documentation.

Options

Find below the template options

• referencePaths {String} Default to file. Can be folder. Define how symbols are grouped in the reference navigation menu (either by folder path or filename path)
• repository.url {String} If set this will show a link to the repository if the top right corner (default to github icon)
• repository.icon {String} Default to github. Find available icons on Font awesome page
• debug {Boolean} Set to true if you want to output additional debug information in the generated site
• builtins.mdnLinks {Boolean} Default to false. If set to true, native types and object (aka. Number, Array, Uint8Array ...) will be linked to relevant MDN documentation page
• builtins.allowUncapitalized {Boolean} Default to false. If set to true, unproperly capitalized native names are coerced e.g. string will become String

Todo v1.0

• Some tags are not handled (see tutorials/tags.md)
