Parse tomdoc with JavaScript / CoffeeScript.

Usage

It's on npm

It only has one method, parse, that takes no options.

TomDoc = require 'tomdoc'

docString = """
  Public: My awesome method that does stuff.

  It does things and stuff and even more things, this is the description.

  count - an {Int} representing count
  callback - a {Function} that will be called when finished

  Returns a {Bool}; true when it does the thing
"""
doc = TomDoc.parse(docString)

doc will be an object:

{
  status: 'Public',
  summary: 'My awesome method that does stuff.'
  description: 'My awesome method that does stuff.\nIt does things and stuff and even more things, this is the description.',
  arguments: [{
    name: 'count',

    type: 'Int'
  }, {
    name: 'callback',

    type: 'Function'
  }],
  returnValue: [{
    type: 'Bool',
    description: 'Returns a {Bool}; true when it does the thing'
  }],
