Swift-DocC-Render

Swift-DocC-Render is a web Single Page Application (SPA) powered by Vue.js for creating rich code documentation websites. Pages and content are generated using render JSON data from DocC. It comes with a well suited design for documentation websites. SPAs are web apps that render dynamically at runtime entirely in the browser, using JavaScript.

Swift-DocC is a tool for building and previewing documentation, aimed at making it easy to generate reference documentation from frameworks and packages, as well as free-form articles and tutorials authored in Markdown. It produces a folder in the Documentation Archive format (extension .doccarchive), which contains a machine-readable output of the documentation as JSON data that Swift-DocC-Render uses to produce rendered documentation.

Getting Started

Note: requires Node.js v14 and npm v6.14. An easy way to set these up is to install nvm and run nvm install from within the Swift-DocC-Render repository. To use these versions as the default, add --default to the installation command.

Download this repository and go to its folder

git clone https://github.com/apple/swift-docc-render.git
cd swift-docc-render

Install dependencies
```
npm install
```
Run a local server with hot reload at localhost:8080

You may want to set a proxy to handle data requests while developing locally by setting the VUE_APP_DEV_SERVER_PROXY env variable to a documentation archive (.doccarchive or .docc-build) on your disk or served in a HTTP endpoint:
```
VUE_APP_DEV_SERVER_PROXY=[path to documentation archive] npm run serve
```
As an alternative you can just create a .env.development.local file on the root of the project to add the VUE_APP_DEV_SERVER_PROXY env variable so you don't have to set it in the npm run serve script each time.

Using Swift-DocC-Render to render documentation

Follow these steps to generate a documentation archive, set the path to your renderer and render locally your documentation using Swift-DocC-Render.

Rendering and building docs

You need to have DocC installed, in order to preview and build documentation. Read Getting Started with Swift to learn more.

To preview the docs, run npm run docs:preview. This will spawn a preview server on http://localhost:8000/documentation/doccrender.

To build the docs, run npm run docs:build.
