Documentation

Smartdoc Middleware (For XXD) v1.x

* It's an project specific version, maybe not suitable for other projects.

Usage

npm i koa-mount xxd-smartdoc-middleware@^1
const app = new Koa();
const smartdoc = require('xxd-smartdoc-middleware');
//...
const spec = require('./spec.json'); // The API specification of your web application
// const spec = require.resolve('./spec.json'); // Path to a JSON file is also acceptable
const prefix = '/docs'; // The prefix you want to serve smartdoc.
const docsDir = `${__dirname}/docs`; // The directory of markdown documents.
app.use(mount(prefix, smartdoc({ prefix, spec, docsDir })));

Note: Must use koa-mount instead of koa-router, because koa-mount will strip the prefix off but koa-router wont.
