dokka
=====
Dokka is documentation engine for Kotlin, performing the same function as javadoc for Java.
**NOTE**: It is work in progress both on compiler side and this tool. Do not base your business on it. Yet.
Documentation Model
=====
Dokka uses Kotlin-as-a-service technology to build `code model`, then processes it into `documentation model`.
`Documentation model` is graph of items describing code elements such as classes, packages, functions, etc.
Each node has semantic attached, e.g. Value:name -> Type:String means that some value `name` is of type `String`.
Each reference between nodes also has semantic attached, and there are three of them:
1. Member - reference means that target is member of the source, form tree.
2. Detail - reference means that target describes source in more details, form tree.
3. Link - any link to any other node, free form.
Member & Detail has reverse Owner reference, while Link's back reference is also Link.
Nodes that are Details of other nodes cannot have Members.
Rendering Docs
====
When we have documentation model, we can render docs in various formats, languages and layouts. We have some core services:
* FormatService -- represents output format
* LocationService -- represents folder and file layout
* SignatureGenerator -- represents target language by generating class/function/package signatures from model
Basically, given the `documentation` as a model, we do this:
```kotlin
val signatureGenerator = KotlinSignatureGenerator()
val locationService = FoldersLocationService(arguments.outputDir)
val markdown = JekyllFormatService(locationService, signatureGenerator)
val generator = FileGenerator(signatureGenerator, locationService, markdown)
generator.generate(documentation)
```
Samples
====
[Dokka docs](http://orangy.github.io/dokka/doc/dokka/index.html) are built with Dokka. Yes, we bootstrap and dogfood :)
Roadmap
=====
#### Formats
Documentation can be generated in various mark-up formats.
* Text -- plain text format
* HTML -- html format, suitable for local browsing
* MD -- markdown format, and optional Jekyll extension for your GitHub pages
#### Locations
Place documentation in different file structure. All links are relative regardless of structure.
* Single File -- all documentation is placed in the single file
* Single Folder -- all documentation is in same folder, files are generated per entity
* Folder Tree -- folders are mirroring package/class/method structure, files are leaf elements
#### Languages
Output symbol declarations in different languages.
* Kotlin
* Java
* JavaScript
#### Features
* Support JavaDoc in Java and Kotlin files
* Support KDoc in Kotlin files
#### KDoc
KDoc is a flavour of markdown with symbol processing extensions.
* \[name\] - link to `name` (markdown style)
* $name - link to `name` (Kotlin string interpolation style), or ${java.lang.String} for longer references
* $name: - named section, optionally bound to symbol `name`, e.g. param doc
* ${code reference} -- include content of a symbol denoted by reference, e.g. code example
### Building
Build only dokka
```bash
ant fatjar
```
Build dokka and maven plugin
```bash
ant install-fj
cd maven-plugin
mvn install
```
Build dokka and install maven plugin (do not require maven installed)
```bash
ant build-and-install
```
### Using Maven plugin
Minimal maven configuration is
```xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.dokka</groupId>
<artifactId>dokka-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${dokka.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>pre-site</phase>
<goals>
<goal>dokka</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
```
by default files will be generated in `target/dokka`
Configuring source links mapping
```xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.dokka</groupId>
<artifactId>dokka-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${dokka.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>pre-site</phase>
<goals>
<goal>dokka</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<sourceLinks>
<link>
<dir>${project.basedir}/src/main/kotlin</dir>
<url>http://github.com/me/myrepo</url>
</link>
</sourceLinks>
</configuration>
</plugin>
```
