Opinionated API Doc Generator
=============================

[](#opinionated-api-doc-generator)

This small tool generates API documentation for PHP (and JavaScript) as Markdown files, so they can be properly rendered on Github and similar tools. The tool makes some assumptions (for example: always only one class per file, type hints over inline documentation, …) to make the generated documentation easy to read.

Documentation Goals
-------------------

[](#documentation-goals)

The goal of this tool to create simple, digestible and compact documentation. This includes adding as many cross-references ass possible to make the code & documentation dicoverable. This tools tries to focus on the relevant information and does not try to output as much information as somehow possible.

Our own (very boring) [API documentation](docs/) is also generated using this tool.

Configuration File
------------------

[](#configuration-file)

The configuration of this tools is done using a YAML file called `.apidocs.yml`, by default. You can also create the file asomewhere else and provide the file location as an argument to `bin/apidocs`. All paths inside the configuration file will be *relative to the configuration file*, like:

```
name: "My Example project"
source: ../common/src
target: ../common/docs
autoloader: ../common/vendor/autoload.php
nameSpace: "\\My\\Example"
files: # Relative to `source`
 - php/My/Class.php
 - …

```
