Usage

Installation

npm install supercollider --save-dev

Setup

Before running the parser, call Supercollider.config() with an object of configuration settings. Refer to the full API to see every option.

var Super = require('supercollider');

Super.config({
  src: './pages/*.md',
  dest: './build',
  template: './template.html'
});

By default, Supercollider can parse Markdown into HTML for you. It also includes two built-in adapters, which hook into external documentation generators. The built-in adapters are called sass (SassDoc) and js (JSDoc). Enbale them with the .adapter() method.

Super
  .adapter('sass')
  .adapter('js');

You can also create custom adapters by passing in a function as a second parameter. Refer to the adapters section of the docs to learn more.

Initializing

The plugin can be used standalone or with the Gulp build system.

To use the library standalone, call Supercollider.init() with the option src being a glob of files, and dest being an output folder.

Super.init();

The .init() function returns a stream. You can listen to the finish event to know when the processing is done.

var stream = Super.init();
stream.on('finish', function() {
  // ...
});

You can also omit the src and dest settings when calling .config(), and use the same method in the middle of a Gulp stream (or any Node stream that happens to use Vinyl files). The function takes in a glob of Markdown files, and transforms them into compiled HTML files.

gulp.src('./pages/*.md')
  .pipe(Super.init())
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./build'));

Command Line Use

Supercollider can be installed globally and used from the command line. For now, only the sass and js adapters can be used.
