Universal CSS styleguide generator for grunt. Easily integrate Styledocco or KSS styleguide generation into your development workflow.

Frameworks

Supported

Getting Started

If you haven't used grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide.

From the same directory as your project's Gruntfile and package.json, install this plugin with the following command:

npm install grunt-styleguide --save-dev

Once that's done, add this line to your project's Gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-styleguide');

If the plugin has been installed correctly, running grunt --help at the command line should list the newly-installed plugin's task or tasks. In addition, the plugin should be listed in package.json as a devDependency, which ensures that it will be installed whenever the npm install command is run.

The "styleguide" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named styleguide to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({

  styleguide: {

    options: {
      // global options
    },

    your_target: {

    	options: {
    		// task options
    	},

	    files: {
	        // files to process
	    }

    }

  }

})

Options

By default grunt-styleguide will attempt to rationalize options for each of the styleguide frameworks supported depending upon the features available to the framework in use.

Defaults

* See extending grunt-styleguide

Framework Options

Should you wish to pass additional options which are supported by a framework then these can be passed as an options as part of the framework object.

styleguide: {

	dist: {

		options: {

			framework: {
				name: 'framework_name',
				options: {
					'somearg': 'somevalue',
					'someflag: true
				}
			}

		},

		files: {
			'path/to/dest': 'path/to/source'
		}

	}

}

Template Options

Depending upon the framework, it may be possible to also pass templates to use for rending a styleguide.

styleguide: {

	dist: {

		options: {

			template: {
				src: 'path/to/templates',
				include: ['path/of/resources/to/include']
			}

		},

		files: {
			'path/to/dest': 'path/to/source'
		}

	}

}

Depending upon the framework you wish to use example templates can be found in:

node_modules/grunt-styleguide/templates/<framwork.name>/templates

A generic template is provide also:

node_modules/grunt-styleguide/templates/generic

Copy these to a location which is part of your project and modify your gruntfile to support your individual requirements.

CSS Preprocessors

By default grunt-styleguide will determine the CSS preprocessor to use by evaluating the selected source files. This value will be passed as an option to framework and if supported will be used by it.

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example a styleguide will be generated using the default generator, styledocco. Guides will be created for css/scss located within the core and plugins directory and output them to the appropriate destination specified.

grunt.initConfig({

  styleguide: {

  	dist: {

	    files: {
	      'docs/core': 'stylesheets/sass/core/*.scss',
	      'docs/plugins': 'stylesheets/sass/plugins/*.scss'
	    }

  	}

  }

});

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using grunt.
