Electron Docs Parser

Generate a structured JSON API file from Electrons free-form documentation

Usage

yarn global add electron-docs-parser
cd ~/projects/path/to/electron/repo
electron-docs-parser --dir ./

# You now have ./electron-api.json with the entire Electron API

How it Works

We generate a markdown AST for every documentation file and search for "Modules", "Classes" and "Structures". We then use the well documented and enforced Electron docs style guide to pull the required information about methods, properties and events from the generated AST.

For more information you should start your code dive in DocsParser.ts and then probably block-parsers.ts.

Typescript Definitions

The output of this module is used to generate Typescript definitions for the Electron API. This module itself is not used to generate those definitions.
