Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

A powerful tool to easily generate beautiful HTML documentation from Javascript (JSDoc), Markdown and HTML files.

Features

  • Parse JSDoc documentation, Markdown and HTML files.
  • Build a cool SPA (Single Page Application) from parsed files.
  • Generate multiple/separate API documentations by grouping JS files.
  • Path or Query-string based app routing.
  • Non-opinionated engine, built-in template with cool opinions. :sunglasses:
  • Supports custom templates, comes with template authoring tools.
  • Works great with GitHub Pages, Amazon S3, Nginx, Apache, etc...
  • Build via API or CLI.
  • Extremely configurable and debuggable.
  • Well documented. :point_up:

...like this:

Installation

npm i docma -D

Building Documentation with CLI

You can use Docma CLI to build documentations directly from your console. Once you create the configuration file docma.json in your project root, it's quite simple.

You can even serve the docs locally and test.

docma serve

See

Building Documentation Programmatically

If you need to build documentation from within your code, use the API.

const Docma = require('docma');

Either by passing a configuration object.

const config = {
    src: [
        './code/**/*.js',
        './README.md'
    ],
    dest: './output/doc'
};
Docma.create()
    .build(config)
    .then(success => console.log('Documentation is built successfully.'))
    .catch(error => console.log(error));

Or by reading configuration from a JSON file.

Docma.create()
    .build('./path/to/docma.json')
    .catch(error => console.log(error));

See Docma API Reference.

Parsed Output

Sometimes, the issue is with invalid JSDoc comments. See this for linting/validating your JSDoc while you type and within a build process.

To investigate the parsed JSDoc output, enable the debug option that will create a JSON output(s) within the root of the destination directory. If you have a problem with the parsed documentation data, open an issue @ jsdoc-x. (I'm the author.)

For markdown output issues (that are not related with style), you can open an issue @ marked.

Changelog
