gulp-comments
Exports all jsdocs-style comments from either .js
or .ts
files.
This is used as a workaround for when the TypeScript compiler strips jsdoc comments from its output. By extracting the comments first, you can run the output directly from .ts
files into jsdocs.
Install
npm i gulp-comments --save-dev
Usage
The examples below illustrate usage in a gulp file. (Note that this plugin auto converts all file extentions to .js
for the benefit of jsdocs.)
Write the comments directly to files:
var gulp = require('gulp');
var comments = require('gulp-comments');
gulp.task('comments', function() {
return gulp.src('src/**/*.{ts,js}')
.pipe(comments())
.pipe(gulp.dest('lib/docs'));
});
Stream comments directly into gulp-jsdocs
:
var gulp = require('gulp');
var comments = require('gulp-comments');
var jsdoc = require('gulp-jsdoc');
gulp.task('docs', function(done) {
gulp.src('/src/**/*.{ts,js}')
.pipe(comments())
.pipe(jsdoc('docs.json', done));
});
Options
An optional filter parameter can be added when calling comments()
. Any jsdoc block containing this string will be excluded from publishing. Can be useful for creating custom documentation builds.
