An effort to create a JSDoc template that works well with AMD and C3MRO-based multiple class inheritance.

jsdoc-amddcl

This repositry contains an effort to create a JSDoc template and plugins that work well with AMD and C3MRO-based multiple class inheritance.

Setup

First you need to:

1. Create a directory, /path/to/jsdoc-amddcl/templates/amddcl/static/scripts/prettify
2. Download prettify and place prettify.js as well as lang-css.js under /path/to/jsdoc-amddcl/templates/amddcl/static/scripts/prettify
3. Make sure your project has package.json, so that JSDoc can understand the name of your project

Then you can use the template/plugins by:

$ cd /path/to/jsdoc-amddcl
$ jsdoc -c ./conf.json /path/to/yourproject /path/to/yourproject/README.md /path/to/yourproject/package.json

The conf.json file contains the pointer to our template/plugins, as well as the typical usage pattern using our template/plugins.

You can try a sample project in this repo:

$ cd /path/to/jsdoc-amddcl
$ jsdoc -c ./conf.json ./sampleprojects/sampleproject/ ./sampleprojects/sampleproject/README.md ./sampleprojects/sampleproject/package.json

Importing doclets from other projects

First you export doclets of the dependant projects by JSDoc's -X option:

$ cd /path/to/jsdoc-amddcl
$ mkdir out/dependantproject
$ jsdoc -X -c ./conf.json /path/to/dependantproject /path/to/dependantproject/package.json >! out/dependantproject/doclets.json

All doclets.json files under JSDoc output directory is searched by our plugin to import doclets.

You can try a sample project in this repo:

$ cd /path/to/jsdoc-amddcl
$ mkdir out/sampleframework
$ jsdoc -X -c ./conf.json ./sampleprojects/sampleframework ./sampleprojects/sampleframework/package.json > out/sampleframework/doclets.json

List of changes on top of the original

• Fix to an issue of duplicate doc of a method. It happens if a method is defined in more than one parent classes, but not in child class.
• Show modules in AMD format instead of CommonJS format.
• Makes sure inheritance chain is shown for modules exporting what dcl() returns.
• Allows you to import doclets from other projects (see above section).
