New Website “Is It Really FOSS?” Tracks Transparency in Open Source Distribution Models
A new site reviews software projects to reveal if they’re truly FOSS, making complex licensing and distribution models easy to understand.
API documentation generator for Sencha JavaScript frameworks.
JSDuck aims to be a better documentation generator for Ext JS than the old ext-doc was. It is used by Sencha to document Ext JS 4, Sencha Touch and several other products.
The highlights of JSDuck are Markdown support and keeping you DRY by inferring a lot of information from code. Read the documentation for full overview.
New to JSDuck? Watch introductory talk by Nick Poulden:
Standard rubygems install should do:
$ [sudo] gem install jsduck
Or download the Windows binary. When you run into problems, see the installation guide.
For the simplest test-run just use the --builtin-classes
option to
write documentation for JavaScript builtin classes like Array, String
and Object into docs
directory:
$ jsduck --builtin-classes --output docs
To generate docs for Ext JS 4 add path to the corresponding src/ dir:
$ jsduck ext-4.2.1/src --output docs
And to create docs for your own Ext JS project, list the directory with your files in addition to the Ext JS source files (this way the docs of your classes will list all the properties and methods they inherit from Ext JS classes):
$ jsduck ext-4.2.1/src my-project/js --output docs
Unfortunately the above will throw lots of warnings at you, as building the full Ext JS docs requires lots of additional settings. For start you might want to simply ignore all these warnings originating from Ext JS source:
$ jsduck ext-4.2.1/src my-project/js --output docs \
--warnings=-all:ext-4.2.1/src
But see the Usage guide for more information on building Ext JS 4 docs.
Read the documentation and take a look at example.js.
