Building these docs
Until my patch gets merged, docs need to be built manually using my fork.
git clone git@github.com:grinich/gitbook.git
cd nylas-mail
./node_modules/.bin/gitbook alias ../gitbook latest
Then to actually build the docs:
script/grunt docs
./node_modules/.bin/gitbook --gitbook=latest build . ./_docs_output --log=debug --debug
rm -r docs_src/classes
If you want to preview the docs:
pushd ./_docs_output; python -m SimpleHTTPServer; popd
TODOs
- Add plugin examples with code (es6 not coffeescript)
- Smart Linkify references. Maybe use something like gitbook-plugin-regexplace
- Have class reference files link to their actual sourcefiles
- Consider adding infinite scroll
