DocStrap
DocStrap is Bootstrap based template for JSDoc3. In addition, it includes all of the themes from Bootswatch giving you a great deal of look and feel options for your documentation. Additionally, it adds some options to the conf.json file that gives you even more flexibility to tweak the template to your needs. It will also make your teeth whiter.
Features
- Fixed navigation at page top
- Right side TOC for navigation in pages
- Themed
- Customizable
What It Looks Like
Here are examples of this template with the different Bootswatch themes:
To change your theme, just change it in the conf.json
file. See below for details.
Ooooh, I want it! How do I get it?##
First grab the zip file from github. Unzip it to your favorite hard drive and ask JSDoc to use it. Like so:
<path/to/jsdoc>/jsoc mysourcefiles/* -t <path.to.unzipped>/template -c <path.to.unzipped>/conf.json -d <path.to.output>/
Also take a gander at JSDoc's command line options.
Configuring the template
DocStrap ships with a conf.json
file in the template/ directory. It is just a regular old
JSDoc configuration file, but with the following new options:
"templates": {
"systemName" : "{string}",
"footer" : "{string}",
"copyright" : "{string}",
"navType" : "{vertical|inline}",
"theme" : "{theme}",
"linenums" : {boolean},
"collapseSymbols" : {boolean},
"inverseNav" : {boolean}
}
Options
- systemName The name of the system being documented. This will appear in the page title for each page
- footer Any markup want to appear in the footer of each page. This is not processed at all, just printed exactly as you enter it
- copyright You can add a copyright message below the footer and above the JSDoc timestamp at the bottom of the page
- navType
The template uses top level navigation with dropdowns for the contents of each category. On large systems these dropdowns
can get large enough to expand beyond the page. To make the dropdowns render wider and stack the entries vertically, set this
option to
"inline"
. Otherwise set it to"vertical"
to make them regular stacked dropdowns. - theme
This is the name of the them you want to use in all lowercase. The valid options are
amelia
cerulean
cosmo
cyborg
flatly
journal
readable
simplex
slate
spacelab
spruce
superhero
united
- linenums When true, line numbers will appear in the source code listing. If you have also turned that on.
- collapseSymbols
If your pages have a large number of symbols, it can be easy to get lost in all the text. If you turn this to
true
all of the symbols in the page will roll their contents up so that you just get a list of symbols that can be expanded and collapsed. - inverseNav
Bootstrap navbars come in two flavors, regular and inverse where inverse is generally higher contrast. Set this to
true
to use the inverse header.
Customizing DocStrap
No template can meet every need and customizing templates is a favorite pastime of....well, no-one, but you may need to anyway.
First make sure you have bower and grunt-cli installed.
Fetch the source using git
or grab the zip file from github. and unzip
it somewhere. Everything that follows happens in the unzip directory.
Next, prepare the environment:
bower install
and
grunt install
When that is done, you have all of the tools to start modifying the template. The template, like Bootstrap, used less.
The way it works is that ./styles/main.less
pulls in the bootstrap files uncompiled so that you have access to all of bootstraps mixins, colors,
etc, that you would want. There are two more files in that directory, variables.less
, bootswatch.less
. These are the
theme files and you can modify them, but keep in mind that if you apply a new theme (see below) those files will be overwritten. It is best
to keep your changes to the main.less
file.
To compile your changes to main.less
and any other files it loads up,
grunt less
The output is will be put in ./template/static/styles/site.<theme-name>.css
. The next time you create your documentation, it
will have the new css file included.
To apply a different template to the styles
directory to modify, open up the conf.json
in the template directory and
change the theme
option to the theme you want. Then
grunt apply
And the new theme will be in variables.less
, bootswatch.less
. Don't forget to compile your changes using grunt apply
to
get that change into the template.
NOTE that these steps are not necessary to just change the theme, this is only to modify the theme. If all you want to do is change the theme, just update conf.json with the new theme and build your docs!
