Adding a Plugin ---- There are two steps required to install a new plugin: 1. Create a JavaScript module to contain your plugin code. 2. Include the name of that module in the "plugins" array of `conf.json`. For example, if your plugin source code was saved in the "plugins/shout.js" file, you would include it in conf.json like so: { "plugins": [ "plugins/shout" ] } Authoring JSDoc 3 Plugins ---- The plugin system for JSDoc 3 is event-based, meaning you register an interest in a specific named-event with a handler function that will be called by JSDoc whenever that event occurs. JSDoc will pass an event object into your handler as the argument: this can be used to access information about the event. For example, to handle events fired whenever a new doclet is created by JSDoc, you would add a handler for the "newDoclet" event to your plugin's exported functions, like so: exports.newDoclet = function(e) { // e.doclet will refer to the newly created doclet // you can read and modify properties of that doclet if you wish if (typeof e.doclet.description === 'string') { e.doclet.description = e.doclet.description.toUpperCase(); } };
