grunt-docco2

This is a grunt plugin which uses docco to create HTML documents that displays your comments intermingled with your code.

I got the idea for this plugin from David Souther but his version did not work for me and grunt 0.4.

Info

Some people experienced issues with an unmet docco dependency. I tried to fix this by pointing to a specific commit of docco but I am not sure if this is working with all NPM versions supporting github URL's.

I have test it on following setup:

• Mac OS X 10.9.1
• Macports 2.2.1
• Node v0.10.22
• npm 1.3.15

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-docco2

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-docco2');

The "docco" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named docco to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  docco: {
    options: {
        dst: 'docs',
        layout: 'parallel'
    }
    docs: {
        files: [
            {
                expand: true,
                cwd: 'public/js'
            }
        ]
    }
  }
})

Usage Examples

This example uses this pattern public/js/**/*.js to get your code files. In this case public/js/libs should be excluded from docco.

If you are not sure about the pattern and how you should define the src array, read more about the Files Array Format.

module.exports = function(grunt) {

    // Project configuration.
    grunt.initConfig( {

        docco: {
            options: {
                dst: './docs/annotated-source',
                layout: 'parallel'
            },
            docs: {
                files: [
                    {
                        expand: true,
                        cwd: './public/js',
                        src: [
                            '**/*.js',
                            '!libs/**/*'
                        ]
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    });

    // Load tasks
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-docco2');

    // Default task(s)
    grunt.registerTask('default', ['docco']);

};
