PHPDoc-VuePress

Template for generating your PHP API documentation in a pretty VuePress format.

This package provides a phpDocumentor 2 template to generate the API documentation of your code to be integrated in a nice looking VuePress project.

WIP: 🚧🏗 Compatibility with phpDocumentor 3 in progress.

Features

This template will generate six VuePress *.md files with the DocBlock documentation in your target directory:

• README.md: Entry point of your API Documentation. Contains, at the moment, an introduction and references to blocks used in the site.
• classes.md: Contains all classes, sorted by namespace.
• interfaces.md: Contains all interfaces, sorted by namespace.
• traits.md: Contains all traits, sorted by namespace.
• constants.md: Contains all global constants, sorted by namespace.
• functions.md: Contains all global functions, sorted by namespace.

This template is designed for phpDocumentor 2 and VuePress 1. Read more about dependencies in the Documentation.

Note: phpDocumentor 2 is able to generate documentation of code written on maybe any version of PHP < 8, but should be run on PHP 7.2. You can configure a CI like Travis CI, Netlify of Github Actions to generate the documentation on PHP 7.2 for your code if not using it on your local environment. Compatibility with phpDocumentor 3 is in progress 🚧 to support new features it offers.
