A powerful tool to easily generate beautiful HTML documentation from Javascript (JSDoc), Markdown and HTML files.
- Parse JSDoc documentation, Markdown and HTML files.
- Build a cool SPA (Single Page Application) from parsed files.
- Generate multiple/separate API documentations by grouping JS files.
- Path or Query-string based app routing.
- Non-opinionated engine, built-in template with cool opinions. 😎
- Supports custom templates, comes with template authoring tools.
- Works great with GitHub Pages, Amazon S3, Nginx, Apache, etc...
- Build via API or CLI.
- Extremely configurable and debuggable.
- Well documented. ☝️
...like this:
This is generated with the built-in template, Zebra.

npm i docma -g
You can use Docma CLI to build documentations directly from your console. Once you create the configuration (JSON) file, it's quite simple.
docma -c path/to/docma.json
You can even serve the docs locally and test.
docma serve path/to/docs
See
If you need to build documentation from within your code, use the API.
const Docma = require('docma');
Either by passing a configuration object.
const config = {
src: [
'./code/**/*.js',
'./README.md'
],
dest: './output/doc'
};
Docma.create()
.build(config)
.then(success => console.log('Documentation is built successfully.'))
.catch(error => console.log(error));
Or by reading configuration from a JSON file.
Docma.create()
.build('./path/to/docma.json')
.catch(error => console.log(error));
See Docma API Reference.
To investigate the parsed JSDoc output, enable the debug
option that will create a JSON output(s) within the root of the destination directory. If you have a problem with the parsed documentation data, open an issue @ jsdoc-x. (I'm the author.)
For markdown output issues (that are not related with style), you can open an issue @ marked.
See CHANGELOG.
Note: If you're upgrading from Docma v1.x to v2.x, there are some breaking changes.

MIT. You don't have to include any copyright notice in your documentation output or templates but I'd appreciate if you let people know about this tool so we can read better documentations.
