* Supports modern JavaScript: ES5, ES2017, JSX, Vue and [Flow](https://flow.org/) type annotations.
|
|
* Infers parameters, types, membership, and more. Write less documentation: let the computer write it for you.
|
|
* Integrates with GitHub to link directly from documentation to the code it refers to.
|
|
* Customizable output: HTML, JSON, Markdown, and more

## User Guide
|
|
|
|
Globally install `documentation` using the [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) package manager:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ npm install -g documentation
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This installs a command called `documentation` in your path, that you can
|
|
point at [JSDoc](http://usejsdoc.org/)-annotated source code to generate
|
|
human-readable documentation. First, run `documentation` with the `--help`
|
|
option for help:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
# generate markdown docs for index.js and files it references
|
|
documentation build index.js -f md
|
|
|
|
# generate html docs for all files in src
|
|
documentation build src/** -f html -o docs
|
|
|
|
# document index.js, ignoring any files it requires or imports
|
|
documentation build index.js -f md --shallow
|
|
|
|

|
|
