This repository contains the user documentation for JSDoc. Use this repository to report documentation bugs, and to submit pull requests for improving the docs.

If you just want to read the documentation, please visit Use JSDoc.

Contributing to the documentation

The HTML docs are generated with Eleventy. If you'd like to contribute to the docs, make sure Node.js and npm are installed, then follow these steps:

  1. Clone this repository:

    git clone https://github.com/jsdoc/jsdoc.github.io

  2. Install dependencies:

    npm install

  3. Make your changes in the content directory, which contains the source files for the docs.

    The first few lines of each source file contain YAML front matter, which is metadata in YAML format. If you need to use the character @ or [ at the start of a YAML value, you can escape it with a backslash. For example, write title: @class as title: \@class.

  4. Rebuild the HTML files, and run a local server so that you can review them:

    npm run serve

  5. Review the updated HTML files on the local server, and make sure your changes look okay. In particular, if you edited the YAML front matter, make sure your changes are reflected in the generated HTML files.

  6. Send a pull request with your changes.
