Welcome to DocBox v2.0.4!

DocBox is a fork of the ColdDoc project originally created by Mark Mandel. Documentation for DocBox can be found on the GitHub Wiki and in this Readme. The main Git repository and downloads can be found on GitHub. There is also a help forum located at https://groups.google.com/a/ortussolutions.com/forum/#!forum/docbox

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

• Lucee 4.5+
• ColdFusion 10+

Instructions

You can use DocBox as a standalone application or install it as a CommandBox command via CommandBox: box install docbox.

Standalone Application

If you want to use DocBox for document generation in your CFML application, then just drop it into any location and create a /docbox mapping to it. You will then instantiate the DocBox generator class with a strategy and properties for the strategy.

// signature
docbox = new DocBox( strategy="class.path", properties={} );

// create with default strategy
docbox = new DocBox( properties = { 
    projectTitle="My Docs", 
    outputDir="#expandPath( '/docs' )#"
});

Generating Docs

To generate the documentation you will then execute the generate() method on the DocBox object and pass in the following parameters:

Generate Params

• source : A path to the source location or an array of structs of locations that must have a dir and mapping key on it.
• mapping : The base mapping for the folder source. Used only if source is a path
• excludes : A regular expression that will be evaluated against all CFCs sent for documentation. If the regex matches the CFC name and path then the CFC will be excluded from documentation.

docbox.generate( source="/my/path", mapping="coldbox" );

docbox.generate(
    source  = "#expandPath( '/docbox' )",
    mapping = "coldbox",
    excludes = "tests"
);

Once the generation finalizes, you will see your beautiful docs!

Available Strategies & Properties

• docbox.strategy.api.HTMLAPIStrategy - default
  • projectTitle : The HTML title
  • outputDir : The output directory
• docbox.strategy.uml2tools.XMIStrategy
  • outputFile : The output file

CommandBox Command

If installed as a command you will get a new namespace called docbox with a Generate command. Type docbox generate help to see its usage, which is very similar to the instructions above.
