This is the source code for JsDoc Toolkit, an automatic documentation
6
generation tool for JavaScript. It is written in JavaScript and is run
7
from a command line (or terminal) using Java and Mozilla's Rhino
8
JavaScript runtime engine.
10
Using this tool you can automatically turn JavaDoc-like comments in
11
your JavaScript source code into published output files, such as HTML
14

======================================================================
25
JsDoc Toolkit is known to work with:
26
java version "1.6.0_03"
27
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
29
and java version "1.5.0_19"
30
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_19-b02-304)
33
Other versions of java may or may not work with JsDoc Toolkit.
35
======================================================================
39
Running JsDoc Toolkit requires you to have Java installed on your
40
computer. For more information see http://www.java.com/getjava/
42
Before running the JsDoc Toolkit app you should change your current
43
working directory to the jsdoc-toolkit folder. Then follow the
44
examples below, or as shown on the project wiki.
46
On a computer running Windows a valid command line to run JsDoc
47
Toolkit might look like this:
49
> java -jar jsrun.jar app\run.js -a -t=templates\jsdoc mycode.js
51
On Mac OS X or Linux the same command would look like this:
53
$ java -jar jsrun.jar app/run.js -a -t=templates/jsdoc mycode.js
55
The above assumes your current working directory contains jsrun.jar,
56
the "app" and "templates" subdirectories from the standard JsDoc
57
Toolkit distribution and that the relative path to the code you wish
58
to document is "mycode.js".
60
The output documentation files will be saved to a new directory named
61
"out" (by default) in the current directory, or if you specify a
62
-d=somewhere_else option, to the somewhere_else directory.
64
For help (usage notes) enter this on the command line:
66
$ java -jar jsrun.jar app/run.js --help
68
More information about the various command line options used by JsDoc
69
Toolkit are available on the project wiki.

73
RUNNING VIA SHELL SCRIPT
75
Avi Deitcher has contributed the file jsrun.sh with the following usage notes:
77
A script to simplify running jsdoc from the command-line, especially when
78
running from within a development or build environment such as ant.
80
Normally, to run jsdoc, you need a command-line as the following:
81
java -Djsdoc.dir=/some/long/dir/path/to/jsdoc -jar
82
/some/long/dir/path/to/jsdoc/jsrun.jar /some/long/dir/path/to/jsdoc/app/run.js
83
-t=template -r=4 /some/long/dir/path/to/my/src/code
85
This can get tedious to redo time and again, and difficult to use from within a build environment.
87
To simplify the process, jsrun.sh will automatically run this path, as well as passing through any arguments.
89
Usage: jsrun.sh <run.js arguments>
91
All <run.js arguments> will be passed through.
92
Additionally, jsrun.sh will take the following actions:
93
1) If the environment variable JSDOCDIR is set, it will add
94
"-Djsdoc.dir=$JSDOCDIR" to the command-line
95
2) If the environment variable JSDOCTEMPLATEDIR is set, it will add
96
"-Djsdoc.template.dir=$JSDOCTEMPLATEDIR" to the command-line
97
3) java with the appropriate path to jsrun.jar and run.js will be instantiated
99
If not variables are set, it is assumed that the path to jsrun.jar and app/ is in the current working directory.
103
Assuming JSDOCDIR=/some/path/to/my/jsdoc will cause the following command to
105
java -Djsdoc.dir=/some/path/to/my/jsdoc -jar /some/path/to/my/jsdoc/jsrun.jar
106
/some/path/to/my/jsdoc/app/run.js ./src/
108
======================================================================
112
To run the suite of unit tests included with JsDoc Toolkit enter this
115
$ java -jar jsrun.jar app/run.js -T
117
To see a dump of the internal data structure that JsDoc Toolkit has
118
built from your source files use this command:
120
$ java -jar jsrun.jar app/run.js mycode.js -Z
