SassDoc

Like JSDoc, but for Sass files.

Currently only work for .scss files. Also, inline comments are not parsed (//).

Example

/**
 * Adds `$value` at `$index` in `$list`.
 *
 * @author Hugo Giraudel
 *
 * @ignore Documentation: http://sassylists.com/documentation/#insert-nth
 *
 * @requires is-true
 *
 * @param {List}   $list  - list to update
 * @param {Number} $index - index to add
 * @param {*}      $value - value to add
 *
 * @throws List index $index is not a number for `insert-nth`.
 * @throws List index $index must be a non-zero integer for `insert-nth`.
 *
 * @return {List | Null}
 */

@function insert-nth($list, $index, $value) {
  // ...
}

/**
 * Defines whether the lib should support legacy browsers (e.g. `IE 8`).
 *
 * @since 1.3.37
 *
 * @todo Nothing. It's awesome.
 *

Use The Raw Data

var sassdoc = require('sassdoc');

sassdoc.parse(__dirname + '/sass').then(function (items) {
  console.log(items);
})

Generate Documentation

var config = {
  "display": {
    "access": ["public", "private"],
    "alias": false,
    "watermark": true
  },

  "package": "./package.json"
}

var sassdoc = require('sassdoc');
sassdoc.documentize(source, dest, config);

Documentation

See Wiki.

Pass extra variables to the view

With the -c or --config flag, you can set the path to a JSON file containing variables to be passed to the view so the latter is a little more customized than the default documentation.

Default path leads to view/view.json. You can update this file or make your own.

Allowed variables:

{
  "display": {
    "access": ["public", "private"],
    "alias": false,
    "watermark": true
   },

  "package": "./package.json"
}

• (Array) display.access: access levels that should be displayed
• (Boolean) display.alias: enable/disable display of alias items
• (Boolean) display.watermark: mention to SassDoc in footer (be cool, leave it!)
• (String|Object) package: path to a .json file (ideally your package.json) or directly an object

The package object (either direct or required) should ideally contain:

• title: human name of your project
• name: package name of your project (in case title is not defined)
• version: your project's version
• license: your project's license
• homepage: URL to your project's homepage
• description: description of your project
