grunt-codo
Grunt task for generating Codo documentation
Codo is a documentation generator for CoffeeScript, see https://github.com/netzpirat/codo for more information.
Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt ~1.0
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-codo --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-codo');
The "codo" task
Overview
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named codo
to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig()
.
grunt.initConfig({
codo: {
options: {
// Task-specific options go here.
},
your_target: {
// Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
},
},
});
Target
Codo expect to lookup for coffee
files into given folder, and a destination path to generate the documentation.
So, in your target, don't forget to add src
and dest
properties. The dest
property is optional, and is defaulting to "./doc"
.

Usage Examples
Default Options
In this example, the default options are used to generate the documentation for the coffee files from the src
directory into the default ./doc
folder.
grunt.initConfig({
codo: {
src: [
'src'
]
},
});
Custom Options
In this example, custom options are used to generate the documentation from api controllers and models into the website/doc/api
folder. We also set names and title, include a license file, and ask the task to show us the undocumented objects, but not the stats of the generation.
grunt.initConfig({
codo: {
options:
name: "AwesomeProject"
title: "AwesomeProject API Documentation"
extra: [ "LICENSE-MIT" ]
undocumented: yes
stats: no
src: [
"src/controllers/api"
"src/models"
]
dest: "website/doc/api"
},
});

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
