## Using dokka
+### Plugins
+Dokka can be customized with plugins. Each output format is internally a plugin.
+Additionally, `kotlin-as-java` plugin can be used to generate documentation as seen from Java perspective.
+Currently maintained plugins are:
+* `dokka-base` - the main plugin needed to run dokka, contains html format
+* `gfm-plugin` - configures `GFM` output format
+* `jekyll-plugin` - configures `Jekyll` output format
+* `javadoc-plugin` - configures `Javadoc` output format, automatically applies `kotlin-as-java-plugin`
+* `kotlin-as-java-plugin` - translates Kotlin definitions to Java
+
+Please see the usage instructions below for how to add plugins to dokka.
+
+### Source sets
+Dokka generates documentation based on source sets.
+
+For single-platform projects, there is almost always only one source set - `main`.
+
+For multi-platform projects, source sets are the same as in Kotlin plugin:
+
+ * One source set for each platform, eg. `jvmMain` or `jsMain`;
+ * One source set for each common source set, eg. the default `commonMain` and custom ones like `jsAndJvmMain`.
+
+When configuring multi-platform projects manually (eg. in the CLI or in Gradle without autoconfiguration)
+source sets must declare their dependent source sets.
+Eg. in the following Kotlin plugin configuration:
+
+* `jsMain` and `jvmMain` both depend on `commonMain` (by default and transitively) and `jsAndJvmMain`;
+* `linuxX64Main` only depends on `commonMain`.
+
+```kotlin
+kotlin { // Kotlin plugin configuration
+ jvm()
+ js()
+ linuxX64()
+
+ sourceSets {
+ val commonMain by getting {}
+ val jvmAndJsSecondCommonMain by creating { dependsOn(commonMain) }
+ val jvmMain by getting { dependsOn(jvmAndJsSecondCommonMain) }
+ val jsMain by getting { dependsOn(jvmAndJsSecondCommonMain) }
+ val linuxX64Main by getting { dependsOn(commonMain) }
+ }
+}
+```
+
### Using the Gradle plugin
-```groovy
+The preferred way is to use `plugins` block. Since Kotlin compiler used by dokka is still in EAP,
+you not only need to add `dokka` to the `build.gradle.kts` file, but you also need to modify the `settings.gradle.kts` file:
+
+build.gradle.kts:
+```kotlin
+plugins {
+ id("org.jetbrains.dokka") version "1.4-M3"
+}
+
+repositories {
+ jcenter() // or maven(url="https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/dokka")
+ maven("https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-eap")
+}
+```
+
+settings.gradle.kts:
+```kotlin
+pluginManagement {
+ repositories {
+ gradlePluginPortal()
+ maven("https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-eap")
+ }
+}
+```
+
+You can also use the legacy plugin application method with `buildscript` block.
+Note that by using the `buildscript` way type-safe accessors are not available in Gradle Kotlin DSL,
+eg. you'll have to use `named<DokkaTask>("dokkaHtml")` instead of `dokkaHtml`:
+
+```kotlin
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
- classpath "org.jetbrains.dokka:dokka-gradle-plugin:${dokka_version}"
+ classpath("org.jetbrains.dokka:dokka-gradle-plugin:${dokka_version}")
}
}
repositories {
- jcenter() // or maven { url 'https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/dokka' }
+ jcenter() // or maven(url="https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/dokka")
+ maven("https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-eap")
}
-apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.dokka'
+apply(plugin="org.jetbrains.dokka")
```
-or using the plugins block:
+The plugin adds `dokkaHtml`, `dokkaJavadoc`, `dokkaGfm` and `dokkaJekyll` tasks to the project.
+
+Each task corresponds to one output format, so you should run `dokkaGfm` when you want to have a documentation in `GFM` format.
+Output formats are explained [there](#output_formats)
-```groovy
-plugins {
- id 'org.jetbrains.dokka' version '0.10.0'
+If you encounter any problems when migrating from older versions of dokka, please see the [FAQ](https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/wiki/faq).
+
+Minimal dokka configuration:
+
+Kotlin
+(single-platform project)
+```kotlin
+tasks.dokkaHtml {
+ outputDirectory = "$buildDir/dokka"
}
-repositories {
- jcenter() // or maven { url 'https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/dokka' }
+```
+(mutli-platform project)
+```kotlin
+tasks.dokkaHtml {
+ outputDirectory = "$buildDir/dokka"
+ dokkaSourceSets {
+ create("jvmMain")
+ create("jsMain") // or other names, identical to those in Kotlin-plugin
+ }
}
```
-The plugin adds a task named `dokka` to the project.

-#### Multiplatform
-Since version 0.10.0 dokka supports multiplatform projects. For a general understanding how a multiplatform documentation is generated, please consult the [FAQ](https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/wiki/faq).
-In the multiplatform mode, instead of using the `configuration` block, you should use a `multiplatform` block with inner blocks for each platform.
-The `configuration` block's parameters belong to those inner blocks, which can be named arbitrarly, however if you want to use source roots and classpath provided by Kotlin Multiplatform plugin,
-they must have the same names as in the Kotlin Multiplatform plugin. See an example below:

+#### Multiplatform
+Dokka supports single-platform and multi-platform projects using source sets abstraction. For most mutli-platform projects
+you should assume that dokka's source sets correspond to Kotlin plugin's source sets.
+Source sets can be named arbitrarily, however in order for autoconfiguration (extraction of source roots and classpath from Kotlin plugin) to work,
+they must have the same names as source sets in the Kotlin Multiplatform plugin.
+See an example below:

-The parameters from the `global` block are appended to all the other platform configurations (in the example - `js` and `jvm`) and cannot be overriden.
+If you want to share the configuration between source sets, you can use Gradle's `configureEach`
-Note that `javadoc` output format cannot be used with multiplatform.
+#### Applying plugins
+Dokka plugin creates Gradle configuration for each output format in the form of `dokka${format}Plugin`:
-To generate the documentation, use the `dokka` Gradle task:
+```kotlin
+dependencies {
+ dokkaHtmlPlugin("org.jetbrains.dokka:kotlin-as-java-plugin:1.4-M3")
+}
+```
+
+You can also create a custom dokka task and add plugins directly inside:
+
+```kotlin
+val customDokkaTask by creating(DokkaTask::class) {
+ dependencies {
+ plugins("org.jetbrains.dokka:kotlin-as-java-plugin:1.4-M3")
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Please note that `dokkaJavadoc` task will properly document only single `jvm` source set
+
+To generate the documentation, use the appropriate `dokka${format}` Gradle task:
```bash
-./gradlew dokka
+./gradlew dokkaHtml
```
Please see the [Dokka Gradle example project](https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-examples/tree/master/gradle/dokka-gradle-example) for an example.

-apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.dokka'
+apply(plugin= "com.android.library")
+apply(plugin= "kotlin-android")
+apply(plugin= "org.jetbrains.dokka")
```
-There is also a `noAndroidSdkLink` configuration parameter that works similar to `noJdkLink` and `noStdlibLink`
-By default the variant documented by dokka is the first release variant encountered.
-You can override that by setting the `androidVariant` property inside the `configuration` (or specific platform) block:
-```groovy
-dokka {
- configuration {
- androidVariant = "debug"
+```kotlin
+dokkaHtml {
+ dokkaSourceSets {
+ create("main") {
+ noAndroidSdkLink = true
+ }
}
}
```
+#### Multi-module projects
+For documenting Gradle multi-module projects, you can use `dokka${format}Collector` and `dokka${format}Multimodule` tasks.
+
+```kotlin
+tasks.dokkaHtmlMultimodule {
+ outputDirectory = "$buildDir/multimodule"
+ documentationFileName = "README.md"
+}
+
+tasks.dokkaGfmCollector {
+ outputDirectory = "$buildDir/collected"
+ modules = listOf("subA", "subB") // Gradle submodule names with dokka tasks
+}
+```
+
+`DokkaCollector` creates a documentation for all submodules by taking source sets from all dokka tasks and creating a new
+dokka run with them:
+```
+For a root project and two subprojects (subA and subB) with JVM and JS source sets, dokkaCollector's source sets look like this:
+
+:dokkaHtmlCollector
+\--- :subA:jvmMain
+\--- :subA:jsMain
+\--- :subB:jvmMain
+\--- :subB:jsMain
+```
+
+`DokkaMultimodule` depends on all dokka tasks in the subprojects, runs them, and creates a toplevel page (based on the `documentationFile`)
+with links to all generated (sub)documentations
+

-To run Dokka from the command line, download the [Dokka jar](https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/releases/download/0.10.0/dokka-fatjar.jar).
+To run Dokka from the command line, download the [Dokka CLI runner](https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/releases/download/1.4-M3/dokka-cli.jar).
To generate documentation, run the following command:
-
- java -jar dokka-fatjar.jar <arguments>
-
+```
+java -jar dokka-cli.jar <arguments>
+```
Dokka supports the following command line arguments:
- * `-output` - the output directory where the documentation is generated
- * `-format` - the [output format](#output-formats):
- * `-cacheRoot` - use `default` or set to custom path to cache directory to enable package-list caching. When set to `default`, caches stored in $USER_HOME/.cache/dokka
- * `-pass` - (repeatable) - configuration for single analyser pass. Following this argument, you can pass other arguments:
- * `-src` - (repeatable) - source file or directory (allows many paths separated by the system path separator)
- * `-classpath` - (repeatable) - directory or .jar file to include in the classpath (used for resolving references)
- * `-sample` - (repeatable) - directory containing a sample code (documentation for those directories is not generated but declarations from them can be referenced using the `@sample` tag)
- * `-module` - the name of the module being documented (used as the root directory of the generated documentation)
- * `-include` - (repeatable) - names of files containing the documentation for the module and individual packages
+ * `-outputDir` - the output directory where the documentation is generated
+ * `-cacheRoot` - cache directory to enable package-list caching
+ * `-pluginsClasspath` - artifacts with dokka plugins, separated by `;`. At least dokka base and all its dependencies must be added there
+ * `-offlineMode` - do not resolve package-lists online
+ * `-failOnWarning` - throw an exception instead of a warning
+ * `-globalPackageOptions` - per package options added to all source sets
+ * `-globalLinks` - external documentation links added to all source sets
+ * `-globalSrcLink` - source links added to all source sets
+ * `-sourceSet` - (repeatable) - configuration for a single source set. Following this argument, you can pass other arguments:
+ * `-moduleName` - (required) - module name used as a part of source set ID when declaring dependent source sets
+ * `-moduleDisplayName` - displayed module name
+ * `-sourceSetName` - source set name as a part of source set ID when declaring dependent source sets
+ * `-displayName` - source set name displayed in the generated documentation
+ * `-src` - list of source files or directories separated by `;`
+ * `-classpath` - list of directories or .jar files to include in the classpath (used for resolving references) separated by `;`
+ * `-samples` - list of directories containing sample code (documentation for those directories is not generated but declarations from them can be referenced using the `@sample` tag) separated by `;`
+ * `-includes` - list of files containing the documentation for the module and individual packages separated by `;`
+ * `-includeNonPublic` - include protected and private code
* `-skipDeprecated` - if set, deprecated elements are not included in the generated documentation
* `-reportUndocumented` - warn about undocumented members
* `-skipEmptyPackages` - do not create index pages for empty packages
- * `-packageOptions` - list of package options in format `prefix,-deprecated,-privateApi,+reportUndocumented;prefix, ...`
- * `-links` - external documentation links in format `url^packageListUrl^^url2...`
- * `-srcLink` - (repeatable) - mapping between a source directory and a Web site for browsing the code in format `<path>=<url>[#lineSuffix]`
+ * `-packageOptions` - list of package options in format `prefix,-deprecated,-privateApi,+reportUndocumented;prefix, ...`, separated by `;`
+ * `-links` - list of external documentation links in format `url^packageListUrl^^url2...`, separated by `;`
+ * `-srcLink` - mapping between a source directory and a Web site for browsing the code in format `<path>=<url>[#lineSuffix]`
* `-noStdlibLink` - disable linking to online kotlin-stdlib documentation
* `-noJdkLink` - disable linking to online JDK documentation
* `-jdkVersion` - version of JDK to use for linking to JDK JavaDoc
* `-analysisPlatform` - platform used for analysis, see the [Platforms](#platforms) section
- * `-target` - (repeatable) - generation target
+ * `-dependentSourceSets` - list of dependent source sets in format `moduleName/sourceSetName`, separated by `;`
+You can also use a JSON file with dokka configuration:
+ ```
+ java -jar <dokka_cli.jar> <path_to_config.json>
+ ```
### Output formats<a name="output_formats"></a>
+ Dokka documents Java classes as seen in Kotlin by default, with javadoc format being the only exception.
- * `html` - minimalistic html format used by default, Java classes are translated to Kotlin
- * `javadoc` - looks like normal Javadoc, Kotlin classes are translated to Java
- * `html-as-java` - looks like `html`, but Kotlin classes are translated to Java
- * `markdown` - markdown structured as `html`, Java classes are translated to Kotlin
- * `gfm` - GitHub flavored markdown
- * `jekyll` - Jekyll compatible markdown
- * `kotlin-website*` - internal format used for documentation on [kotlinlang.org](https://kotlinlang.org)
+ * `html` - HTML format used by default
+ * `javadoc` - looks like JDK's Javadoc, Kotlin classes are translated to Java
+ * `gfm` - GitHub flavored markdown
+ * `jekyll` - Jekyll compatible markdown
-### Platforms<a name="platforms"></a>
-
-Dokka can annotate elements with special `platform` block with platform requirements
-Example result and usage can be found on [kotlinlang.org](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/)
+If you want to generate the documentation as seen from Java perspective, you can add the `kotlin-as-java` plugin
+to the dokka plugins classpath, eg. in Gradle:
-Each multiplatform closure has two properties: `platform` and `targets`. If you use autoconfiguration, those are filled automatically.
+```kotlin
+dependencies{
+ implementation("...")
+ dokkaGfmPlugin("org.jetbrains.dokka:kotlin-as-java-plugin:${dokka-version}")
+}
+```
-`targets` property is a list of platform names that will be shown in the final result. Note that the value of this property
-doesn't affect analysis of source code, it just changes the result. You can think of this as a `name` property
+### Platforms<a name="platforms"></a>
-`platform` property is used for the analysis of source roots. Available values are:
+Each dokka source set is analyzed for a specific platform. The platform should be extracted automatically from the Kotlin plugin.
+In case of a manual source set configuration, you have to select one of the following:
* `jvm`
* `js`
* `native`
