Doczify

A generator and migration (from GitBook) tool for docsify.

The doczify CLI can copy and generate files. It's controlled via a YAML config file. You specify the location of you docs and it will copy and transform the files into a build directory.

Why?

For these use cases:

• migrate from GitBook to docsify (including some plugins) without changing any md file
  • code fragments
  • javadeps
  • codetabs
• copy files automatically which are used for embeded files out of the docs folder
  • there is a similar issue #485 but it's easy to extend it so it will be fixed as well
• control via a YAML config file, no need to write any HTML
• auto detecting of languages in code snipppets in order to load the prism language module
• variable replacement using {{foobar}} syntax

Usage

• clone this repo and run inside the directory npm install && npm link . (not available yet on npm)
• next to your README.md (and probbaly SUMMARY.md) create a file which is called docsify.yml and add this content:

copy:
  docs: docs # directory where all docs are located (except README.md and SUMMARY.md)
  README.md: README.md
  SUMMARY.md: SUMMARY.md # this is the navigation for GitBook
variables: # optonal define variables
  - book.apiVersion: '1.2.3' # usage in markdown {{book.apiVersion}}
docsify: # this object is passed as it is to docsify
  homepage: README.md
  loadSidebar: SUMMARY.md
scripts: # script tags which are appended to the index.html
  - //cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify-pagination@2.3.5/dist/docsify-pagination.min.js
  - //cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify-copy-code@2.0.2
  - //cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify-tabs@1
styles: # style tags which are appended to the index.html
  - //cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify-themeable@0/dist/css/theme-simple.css

• run doczify serve
