Docman

Docs generator for Postman REST Client. Docman parses Postman dump files and outputs documentation as set of Markdown files.

Features

• Organize docs by collections
• Parametrized URLs
• Query parameters
• Body (form/urlencolded/RAW/JSON-string payload) parameters

Install

Install Docman globally:

npm install -g docman

Usage

Docman takes two arguments:

• dump: file path to Postman JSON dump file (in Postman Settings -> Data -> Export data)
• dir: output directory where Docman should generate docs. If provided directory is not writable, Docman will try to generate docs to ./docs

Syntax:

docman <dump> <dir>

Example:

docman ./Backup.postman_dump /Users/me/myapp/api_docs

Developing Docman

Docman bundles Dockerfile for building working development environment. Assuming you have installed Docker, from Docman clonned directory type:

# build image (only once for each Dockerfile)
docker build -t <namespace>/docman.dev:0.1 .

# run container (anytime to start dev)
docker run -it --rm -v `pwd`:/src <namespace>/docman.dev:0.1

This will build and run development container, that will delete itself after exiting. Sources are mounted to /src. To install current code as global module (for testing puporse) use:

npm install -g .

Then command docman will run latest code version.
