How to Use

Entry points

BumbleDocGen's interface consists of mainly two classes: DocGenerator and DocGeneratorFactory.

• DocGenerator provides main operations for generating the documents.

  • addMissingDocBlocks(): This method creates missing docBlocks in your code.
  • fillInReadmeMdTemplate(): This method prepares the README.md file using a predefined template.
  • generate(): This method produces all necessary documentation.
  • generateProjectTemplatesStructure(): This method creates a structure for project templates.
  • parseAndGetRootEntityCollectionsGroup(): This method parses your project's files and collects information for the documentation.

• DocGeneratorFactory provides a method for creating DocGenerator instance.

  • create(configurationFiles: string): This method creates a DocGenerator instance using provided configuration files.
  • setCustomConfigurationParameters(customConfigurationParameters: array): This method sets custom configuration parameters for the DocGenerator creation.

Examples of usage

1. Working with a library in a PHP file

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use BumbleDocGen\DocGeneratorFactory;

// Initialize the factory
$factory = new DocGeneratorFactory();

// Create a DocGenerator instance
$docgen = $factory->create('/path/to/configuration/files');

// or $docgen = $factory->createByConfigArray([...]);

// Now call the desired operation
$docgen->generate();

2. Working with the library through a console application

# List of available commands
./vendor/bin/bumbleDocGen list

# Documentation generation example
./vendor/bin/bumbleDocGen generate -c <path to config file>

# Getting detailed information about a command
