Solidoc: Documentation Generator for Solidity

npm version

This command-line utility creates markdown-based documentation for your Solidity project(s) for the following platforms:

  • Ethereum
  • Ethereum Classic
  • Tron
  • Qtum
  • Wanchain
  • Aeternity
  • Counterparty
  • Rootstock
  • Ubiq
  • Monax
  • RSK

Supports Solidity up to 0.7.

Able to also generate docs for events and state variables with tags like @notice, @dev and @param.

Getting Started

Global instalation

sudo npm install solidoc -g

Project instalation

npm install solidoc

CLI Arguments

  1. Path to Truffle project (or similar) root.
  2. Path to generate documentation to.
  3. Do not recompile. Optional, default: false.
  4. Compiler. Truffle compiler (use npx truffle compiler to use the same compiler as the project, instead of global install of Truffle).
  5. Language. Optional, default: en.
  6. Version. Optional, refers to contracts version (depends on the project).
  7. Ignore files. Optional, array with filenames to ignore.

Using a configuration file is recommended (mostly if you want to ignore files).

How to Use Solidoc?

On your project root, run the following command:

solidoc ./ ./docs true

This will generate documentation to the docs directory.

Or edit package.json

  "scripts": {
    "docgen": "solidoc ./ ./docs"
  }

and run:

npm run docgen

Note

Do not use recompilation (third argument) if you are using this on a non Truffle project.

Configuration File

Alternatively, you can create solidoc.json configuration file in your project root:

{
  "pathToRoot": "./",
  "outputPath": "./docs",
  "noCompilation": true,
  "compiler": "truffle compile",
  "language": "en",
  "version": "0.1.10",
  "ignoreFiles": []
}

and then call solidoc instead of passing any command line argument.

Overrides

If you wish to change bits and pieces of the documentation generated, place solidoc templates on the following directory:

./.solidoc/templates/

Solidoc Templates

You can also override language literals by copying and editing i18n files on the following path:

./.solidoc/i18n/
