herbsshelf

Welcome to the shelf!

This is a self-generate documentation, here you can see all the flow of information in the application.

You can use the lateral panel to navigate into Use Cases of this application.

Installing

    $ npm install @herbsjs/herbsshelf

Functioning

To use the shelf you will need to pass a list of usecases to it, it will read them and return a string from an HTML document with the generated documentation.

Using

The quickest way to use the herbs shelf is to create a rest route in your api and expose the documentation generated by the shelf.

Consider a file called _uclist.js with this inside

module.exports = (injection) => {
    return [
        { usecase: require('./myUseCaseFile').myUseCaseName(injection), tags: { group: 'GroupOne' } },
        { usecase: require('./myUseCase2File').myUseCase2Name(injection), tags: { group: 'GroupOne' } },
        { usecase: require('./myUseCase3File').myUseCase3Name(injection), tags: { group: 'GroupTwo' } },
    ]
}

In your app or server file, import the shelf dependecy and the list of usecases

const usecases = require('../../domain/usecases/_uclist')
const renderShelfHTML = require('herbsshelf')

And call the shelf into you prefered rest route

 this.app.get('/herbsshelf', (req, res, next) => {
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html')
    const shelf = renderShelfHTML('Project Name', usecases(), entities)
    res.write(shelf)
    res.end()
})

If your project has a readme.md, this content should be shown at the beginning of the project. If you want to use a custom readme, you can specify on startup:

const shelf = renderShelfHTML('Project Name', usecases(), entities, './custom-readme.md')

You can see the full functionality into the TODO-LIST ON HERBS repository
