# Generating Markdown Docs For Your Own cobra.Command
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate markdown docs for the entire command tree
|
||||
|
||||
This program can actually generate docs for the kubectl command in the kubernetes project
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
package main
|
||||
|
||||
import (
|
||||
"io/ioutil"
|
||||
"os"
|
||||
|
||||
"github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/pkg/kubectl/cmd"
|
||||
"github.com/spf13/cobra/cobra"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
kubectl := cmd.NewFactory(nil).NewKubectlCommand(os.Stdin, ioutil.Discard, ioutil.Discard)
|
||||
doc.GenMarkdownTree(kubectl, "./")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will generate a whole series of files, one for each command in the tree, in the directory specified (in this case "./")
|
||||
|
||||
## Generate markdown docs for a single command
|
||||
|
||||
You may wish to have more control over the output, or only generate for a single command, instead of the entire command tree. If this is the case you may prefer to `GenMarkdown` instead of `GenMarkdownTree`
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
out := new(bytes.Buffer)
|
||||
doc.GenMarkdown(cmd, out)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will write the markdown doc for ONLY "cmd" into the out, buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
## Customize the output
|
||||
|
||||
Both `GenMarkdown` and `GenMarkdownTree` have alternate versions with callbacks to get some control of the output:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func GenMarkdownTreeCustom(cmd *Command, dir string, filePrepender func(string) string, linkHandler func(string) string) {
|
||||
//...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func GenMarkdownCustom(cmd *Command, out *bytes.Buffer, linkHandler func(string) string) {
|
||||
//...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `filePrepender` will prepend the return value given the full filepath to the rendered Markdown file. A common use case is to add front matter to use the generated documentation with [Hugo](http://gohugo.io/):
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
const fmTemplate = `---
|
||||
date: %s
|
||||
title: "%s"
|
||||
slug: %s
|
||||
url: %s
|
||||
---
|
||||
`
|
||||
|
||||
filePrepender := func(filename string) string {
|
||||
now := time.Now().Format(time.RFC3339)
|
||||
name := filepath.Base(filename)
|
||||
base := strings.TrimSuffix(name, path.Ext(name))
|
||||
url := "/commands/" + strings.ToLower(base) + "/"
|
||||
return fmt.Sprintf(fmTemplate, now, strings.Replace(base, "_", " ", -1), base, url)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `linkHandler` can be used to customize the rendered internal links to the commands, given a filename:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
linkHandler := func(name string) string {
|
||||
base := strings.TrimSuffix(name, path.Ext(name))
|
||||
return "/commands/" + strings.ToLower(base) + "/"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
