Modo🧯

Modo🧯 is a documentation generator (DocGen) for the Mojo🔥 programming language. It generates Markdown for static site generators (SSGs) from mojo doc JSON output.

This example in the User guide shows a Mojo🔥 package processed with Modo🧯 and rendered with Hugo, to demonstrate Modo🧯's features.

Features

• Generates Mojo🔥 API docs for Hugo, mdBook or just plain Markdown.
• Super easy to set up for an existing Mojo🔥 project.
• Provides a simple syntax for code cross-references.
• Optionally structures API docs according to package re-exports.
• Optionally extracts doc-tests for mojo test from code blocks.
• Customizable output through user templates.

See the User guide for more information. See the Modo🧯 slides for a feature overview.

Installation

Using Python

Modo🧯 is available on PyPI as pymodo. Install it with pip:

pip install pymodo

This installs the modo command. If the command is not found, try:
python -m pymodo

Using Go

With Go installed, you can install Modo🧯 like this:

go install github.com/mlange-42/modo@latest

With Go, you can also install the latest development version:
go install github.com/mlange-42/modo@main

Precompiled binaries

Pre-compiled binaries for manual installation are available in the Releases for Linux, Windows and MacOS.

Usage

To initialize an existing Mojo🔥 project for Modo🧯 and an SSG like Hugo, run command init once:

modo init hugo

This sets up everything to be able to build Markdown files for the target SSG with command build:

modo build

Finally, serve or build the site with the target SSG (here Hugo):

hugo serve -s docs/site/

See Project setup for details and other supported SSGs.
