Docson ====== Documentation for your JSON types. Give Docson a JSON schema and it will generate a [beautiful documentation](http://lbovet.github.io/docson/index.html#/docson/examples/example.json). ## Features * [JSON schema](http://json-schema.org/) v4 keywords. * Runs entirely in the browser. * Render schema descriptions with markdown ## Installation * Place the Docson distribution on the web server serving the schemas (to avoid cross-origin issues). ## Usage ### Via cli tool $ docson -d ./schemas/ server ready and running at localhost:3000 # and then... firefox http://localhost:3000/schemas/ship.json ### As a webpage widget To include a Docson schema documentations on any page (wiki, ...) without worrying about messing up with javascript libraries and cross-origin issues: * Install Docson somewhere as described above. * Place the following `script` tags in the including page, nothing else is needed: ### Add to a webpage * Open [index.html](http://lbovet.github.io/docson/index.html) and enter the schema path in the form field. * Or give the schema path directly as hash parameter: [index.html#/docson/examples/example.json](http://lbovet.github.io/docson/index.html#/docson/examples/example.json) Note that you can refer to a sub-schema by adding a json-pointer path as 'dollar-parameter': [index.html#/docson/examples/example.json$items](http://lbovet.github.io/docson/index.html#/docson/examples/example.json$items) ## Typson You can directly reference your JSON types defined as TypeScript interfaces. If the path ends with `.ts`, Docson will use [Typson](https://github.com/lbovet/typson) to convert the Type Scripts to schema in order to generate the documentation. For example, [index.html#/typson/example/invoice/line.ts$InvoiceLine](http://lbovet.github.io/docson/index.html#/typson/example/invoice/line.ts$InvoiceLine) is the documentation of [line.ts](https://github.com/lbovet/typson/blob/master/example/invoice/line.ts). You need to install [Typson](https://github.com/lbovet/typson) by yourself on your server. It must be in a directory named `typson` located at the same level as the `docson` directory. ## Swagger You can adapt [Swagger UI](https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-ui) to display Docson-generated model documentation instead of the builtin signatures. See how it looks like in the [Swagger Docson example](http://lbovet.github.io/swagger-ui/dist/index.html) In Swagger UI's `index.html`, include the [Swagger integration script after other script tags](https://github.com/lbovet/swagger-ui/blob/3f37722b03db6c48cc2a8460df26dda5f4d6f8e4/src/main/html/index.html#L19): ```html ``` Also, you will need a patched version of [Swagger Client](https://github.com/lbovet/swagger-js/blob/models-exposed/lib/swagger.js) so that the raw json-schema model is visible from Docson. Either replace the `swagger.js` file in your Swagger UI disctribution or take it directly from github by replacing ```html ``` with ```html ``` For a better layout of parameter models, you may [want to change the width of some elements](https://github.com/lbovet/swagger-ui/blob/3f37722b03db6c48cc2a8460df26dda5f4d6f8e4/src/main/html/index.html#L20-L27): ```html ``` ## Integration You can also integrate Docson in your application and use its javascript API: ```javascript docson.doc(element, schema, ref) ``` * `element` is the element which will host the documentation. Either a DOM element (id or object) or jQuery element. * `schema` is the URI or path to the schema or a string containing the schema source itself. * `ref` is an optional json-pointer path to a sub-schema. Examples: * [Simple integration example](http://lbovet.github.io/docson/examples/example.html) * [See it in action](http://lbovet.github.io/typson-demo/) with its buddy [typson](https://github.com/lbovet/typson). ## Limitations * Mixing unrelated keywords can lead to unexpected results. Not implemented: * Non-primitive values in enums and default values * dependencies, additionalItems, patternProperties ## Development * [All tests](http://lbovet.github.io/docson/tests/test.html) Please pull-request your failing schemas in the `tests/` folder and open an issue describing the expected result.
