About smart-doc

Best Practice

smart-doc + Torna form an industry-leading document generation and management solution, using smart-doc to complete Java source code analysis and extract annotations to generate API documents without intrusion, and automatically push the documents to the Torna enterprise-level interface document management platform.

Getting started

Add plugin

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.ly.smart-doc</groupId>
    <artifactId>smart-doc-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>[latest version]</version>
    <configuration>
        <!--skip option is used to disable plugin in child module-->
        <!--<skip>true</skip>-->
        <!--Specify the configuration file used to generate the document-->
        <configFile>./src/main/resources/smart-doc.json</configFile>
        <!--smart-doc implements automatic analysis of the dependency tree to load the source code of third-party dependencies. If some framework dependency libraries are not loaded, an error is reported, then use excludes to exclude-->
        <excludes>
            <!--The format is: groupId: artifactId; refer to the following-->
            <!--since 1.0.7 version you can also use regular matching to exclude, such as: poi. *-->
            <exclude>com.google.guava:guava</exclude>
        </excludes>
        <!--Since version 1.0.8, the plugin provides includes support-->
        <!--smart-doc can automatically analyze the dependency tree to load all dependent source code. In principle, it will affect the efficiency of document construction, so you can use includes to let the plugin load the components you configure.-->
        <includes>
            <!--The format is: groupId: artifactId; refer to the following-->
            <include>com.alibaba:fastjson</include>
        </includes>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <!--Comment out phase if you don't need to start smart-doc when compiling-->
            <phase>compile</phase>
            <goals>
                <!--smart-doc provides html, openapi, markdown, adoc and other goals-->
                <goal>html</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Create a json config

Create a json configuration file in your project. The smart-doc-maven-plugin plugin will use this configuration information. For example, create /src/main/resources/smart-doc.json in the project. The configuration contents are as follows.

Minimize configuration:

{
   "allInOne": true, // whether to merge documents into one file, generally recommended as true
   "isStrict": false,//If the strict mode is set to true, Smart-doc forces that the public method in each interface in the code has a comment.
   "outPath": "/src/main/resources" //Set the api document output path.
}

Only three configurations items are needed to generate API documentation using smart-doc-maven-plugin. In fact, only outPath must be configured.

Detailed configuration content:

smart-doc provides a lot of configuration options. For more configuration options, please refer to the official documentation

Generated document

Run plugin with maven command

// Generate html
mvn -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 smart-doc:html
// Generate markdown
mvn -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 smart-doc:markdown
// Generate adoc
mvn -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 smart-doc:adoc
// Generate postman collection
mvn -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 smart-doc:postman
// Generate Open Api 3.0+,Since 1.1.5
mvn -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 smart-doc:openapi
// Generate document and send to Torna
mvn -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 smart-doc:torna-rest

// For Apache Dubbo Rpc
// Generate html
mvn -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 smart-doc:rpc-html
// Generate markdown
mvn -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 smart-doc:rpc-markdown
// Generate adoc
mvn -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 smart-doc:rpc-adoc

Note: Under the window system, if you use the maven command line to perform document generation, non-English characters may be garbled, so you need to specify -Dfile.encoding = UTF-8 during execution.
