Current Features for documentation

This tool allows for the generation of new documentation through templating

From the gocryptotrader/cmd/documentation/ folder, using the go command: go run documentation.go this will auto-generate and regenerate documentation across the GoCryptoTrader code base.

Using the -v command will, ie go run documentation.go -v put the tool into verbose mode allowing you to see what is happening with a little more depth.

Be aware, this tool will:

  • Works off a configuration JSON file located at gocryptotrader/cmd/documentation/ for future use with multiple repositories.
  • Automatically find the directory and file tree for the GoCryptoTrader source code and alert you of undocumented file systems which need to be updated.
  • Automatically find the template folder tree.
  • Fetch an updated contributor list and rank on pull request commit amount
  • Sets up core folder docs for the root directory tree including LICENSE and CONTRIBUTORS

config.json example

{
 "githubRepo": "https://api.github.com/repos/thrasher-corp/gocryptotrader", This is your current repo
 "exclusionList": { This allows for excluded directories and files
  "Files": null,
  "Directories": [
   "_templates",
   ".git",
   "web"
  ]
 },
 "rootReadmeActive": true, allows a root directory README.md
 "licenseFileActive": true, allows for a license file to be generated
 "contributorFileActive": true, fetches a new contributor list
 "referencePathToRepo": "../../"
}

Template example

place a new template example_file.tmpl located in the current gocryptotrader/cmd/documentation/ folder; when the documentation tool finishes it will give you the define template associated name e.g. Template not found for path ../../cmd/documentation create new template with \{\{define "cmd documentation" -\}\} TEMPLATE HERE \{\{end}} so you can replace the below example with \{\{define "cmd documentation" -}}

\{\{\define "example_definition_created_by_documentation_tool" -}}
\{\{\template "header" .}}
