This package is unstable! Documentation formatting could change in the future. See something that you think should be different? Open an issue on github and help shape this plugin.
[!NOTE]
This plugin was formerly published as @nx-dotnet/nxdoc. It was moved due to not being relevant to .NET and to decouple the releases. To view previous versions and changelogs checkout the nx-dotnet repo
Prerequisites
- Have an existing nx workspace containing an Nx plugin project. For creating this, see nrwl's documentation.
Installation
NPM
npm i --save-dev nxdoc
PNPM
pnpm i --save-dev nxdoc
Yarn
yarn add --dev nxdoc
Usage
To get started, run the following command to configure docs generation for your plugin project:
nx generate nxdoc:configuration --project=my-plugin
This will add a target to your plugin's project.json
file that will generate documentation for your plugin. You can then run the following command to generate the documentation:
nx run my-plugin:generate-docs
By default, this will output the documentation to docs/my-plugin
. You can customize this by passing the outputDirectory
option to the generate-docs
target. For example, if we only have one plugin in our workspace, we can output the documentation to the root of the workspace:
{
"targets": {
"generate-docs": {
"executor": "nxdoc:generate-docs",
"options": {
"project": "my-plugin",
"outputDirectory": "docs",
"root": true
}
}
}
}
Multiple Project Documentation
What if we have multiple plugins in our workspace? We can generate documentation for each plugin by creating a target for each plugin. For example, if we have two plugins, my-plugin
and my-other-plugin
, we can run the configuration generator for each. Then we can run the generate-docs
target for each plugin:
nx generate nxdoc:configuration --project=my-plugin
nx generate nxdoc:configuration --project=my-other-plugin
nx run-many -t generate-docs
By default, this will output the documentation to docs/my-plugin
and docs/my-other-plugin
. There will not be anything that ties the documentation together though. As such, we provide another executor / generator pair to generate a landing page for the documentation. You can either run this generator manually as below:
nx generate nxdoc:generate-index
or you can add it to a project's project.json
file as a target:
{
"targets": {
"generate-index": {
"executor": "nxdoc:generate-index"
}
}
}
