Usage

1. Have a working Gradle build

It is up to you.

2. Call the Script

Add the following at the end of build.gradle of each sub-module that you wish to generate documentation:

apply from: 'https://raw.github.com/Vorlonsoft/EasyDokkaPlugin/master/dokka.gradle'

3. Generate documentation

You can now generate documentation by Dokka documentation engine in Javadoc or other formats:

$ gradle dokkaJavadocsJar

4. Get documentation

Get generated documentation from ${buildDir} directory.

Optional properties

Create project root gradle.properties. You may already have this file, in which case just edit the original. This file should contain the properties values which are common to all of your sub-projects (if you have any). The values in the sub-project gradle.properties file are specific to the sub-project (and override those in the root gradle.properties). For instance, here’s AndroidRate’s:

DOKKA_FATJAR_VERSION = 0.9.17
DOKKA_OUTPUT_FORMAT = javadoc

There are optional properties which can be set:

Dokka fatjar version

DOKKA_FATJAR_VERSION (default is "0.9.17")

${latestVersion} is

Dokka output format

DOKKA_OUTPUT_FORMAT (default is "javadoc")

Options:

• html - minimalistic html format used by default
• javadoc - Dokka mimic to javadoc
• html-as-java - as html but using java syntax
• markdown - Markdown structured as html
  • gfm - GitHub flavored markdown
  • jekyll - Jekyll compatible markdown
• kotlin-website - internal format used for documentation on kotlinlang.org
