The APIb Renderer will take any .apib files that it finds in ./apib/ and render them as HTML into the ./docs directory using aglio.
APIb Renderer will also run an express server at localhost:4000 to serve the rendered HTML pages that reside in ./docs.
Before proceeding with the installation, NVM should be configured. At the time of writing this, there are some dependancies that do not work with more recent versions of Node.
Currently, all dependancies are functional with Node v0.12.6.
Feel free to replace apib
with an alternate environment name.
nvm install 12.0.6
nvm alias apib v12.0.6
nvm use apib
npm install [email protected]
npm install git+https://[email protected]/CypherSystems/apib-renderer.git
Each project requires it's own gulpfile for the gulp commands to work. See the examples folder for a barebones gulpfile that can be used.
-
gulp
is the default command. This will render the apib files that are found in ./apib, start the express server (at http://localhost:4000) to serve the HTML and continue to watch for changes in ./apib to render, and ./docs to automatically refresh the browser. -
gulp apib
renders HTML from the files located in ./apib -
gulp serve
starts express and runs the automatic browser refresh at localhost:4000
