Docify

Docify

What this is

Docify is a documentation generation tool that allows users to automatically generate documentation for their code. It supports multiple programming languages and provides a simple way to document functions, classes, and variables. Docify can be used to generate HTML documentation, making it easy to share and view documentation.

Installation

npm install docify

Key concepts

The most important APIs and patterns in Docify include the @doc tag, which is used to document functions and classes, and the docify function, which is used to generate documentation. For example:

/**
 * @doc
 * This is a sample function.
 */
function sampleFunction() {
  // code here
}

Correct usage patterns

To use Docify, you need to add comments to your code with the @doc tag. Here is an example:

/**
 * @doc
 * This is a sample class.
 */
class SampleClass {
  /**
   * @doc
   * This is a sample method.
   */
  sampleMethod() {
    // code here
  }
}

Then, you can generate documentation using the docify function:

const docify = require('docify');
docify.generate();

Common mistakes to avoid

One common mistake is forgetting to add the @doc tag to comments. Without this tag, Docify will not generate documentation for the commented code.

File and folder conventions

By default, Docify looks for a docs folder in the root of your project, where it will generate HTML documentation. You can configure the output folder using the docify.config.js file. For example:

module.exports = {
  output: 'path/to/output/folder',
};
