fn(Code) -> Docs

Doku   crates-badge docs-badge

Doku is a framework for building textual, aesthetic documentation directly from the code; it allows to generate docs for configuration files, HTTP endpoints, and so on.

Say goodbye to stale, hand-written documentation - with Doku, code is the documentation!

Example

[dependencies]
doku = "0.12"
use doku::Document;
use serde::Deserialize;

#[derive(Deserialize, Document)]
struct Config {
    /// Database's engine
    db_engine: DbEngine,

    /// Database's host
    #[doku(example = "localhost")]
    db_host: String,

    /// Database's port
    #[doku(example = "5432")]
    db_port: usize,
}

#[derive(Deserialize, Document)]
enum DbEngine {
    #[serde(rename = "pgsql")]
    PostgreSQL,

    #[serde(rename = "mysql")]
    MySQL,
}

fn main() {
    println!("{}", doku::to_json::<Config>());
}
{
  // Database's engine
  "db_engine": "pgsql" | "mysql",
  // Database's host
  "db_host": "localhost",
  // Database's port
  "db_port": 5432
}

You'll find more examples in ./doku/examples; there's also a documentation at https://docs.rs/doku/.

Contributing

Found a bug, have an idea? Please let us know on GitHub - patches are welcome, too!

If you want to try hacking on Doku, the entry points are:

  • the JSON pretty-printer.
  • the data model,
  • the derive macro,

As for the end-to-end tests, you'll find them inside ./doku/tests.
