πŸ“– Streamline your Laravel package development with automatic facade documentation using Docgen for Laravel Facade.

Docgen

Introduction

Docgen for Laravel packages, the ultimate solution for Laravel package developers.

This heroic package automatically generates documentation for your Laravel package facade, eliminating the tedious task of maintaining it yourself.

With this package, IDEs will provide you and the developers using your package with method suggestions, making your development journey a breeze.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require irazasyed/docgen --dev

Usage

There are a number of ways to use the CLI tool.

Basic

Let's start with the basic usage.

Call the command with the name of the facade:

vendor/bin/docgen -f "Namespace\Path\To\Laravel\Facade::class"

Advanced

Create a new config file in your package's root directory named docgen.php and add the following code:

<?php

return [
    'facade' => Namespace\Path\To\Laravel\Facade::class,

    // Optional
    // Path\To\Class::class => [Excluded Methods Array]
    'classes' => [],
    
    // Global Excluded Methods
    'excludedMethods' => [],
];

Run the following command to generate the documentation and apply it to the facade:

vendor/bin/docgen

You can also store the config file elsewhere and provide the path using the -c or --config option.

Example:

vendor/bin/docgen -c path/to/docgen.php

Generate Docs for Multiclass Facade

If your Laravel facade is linked to a chain of classes that require documentation, you can provide an array of class names. Additionally, if you want to exclude certain methods from the documentation of a specific class, you can pass an array containing the names of those methods.

To illustrate, consider the following example which demonstrates how to use this approach with the Telegram Bot SDK's Laravel Facade:

<?php

// docgen.php

return [
    'facade' => Telegram\Bot\Laravel\Facades\Telegram::class,
    
    'classes' => [
        \Telegram\Bot\BotsManager::class,
        \Telegram\Bot\Api::class => [
            'setContainer',
            'getWebhookUpdates',
        ],
        \Telegram\Bot\Commands\CommandBus::class => [
            'getTelegram',
            'setTelegram',
        ],
    ],
    
    // Global Excluded Methods
    'excludedMethods' => [],
];

Call the command to generate and apply the docs.

vendor/bin/docgen

API

generate(string|array $classes, array $globalExcludedMethods = [])

Generate the documentation for given classes.

Docgen::generate([
    //  Class Name => [Excluded Methods]
    \App\Some\Class::class => ['method1', 'method2'],
    \App\Some\OtherClass::class,
])->apply(\Namespace\To\Facade::class); // Apply to Facade.

getDocBlock()

Returns

string - The generated documentation.

apply(string $className = '')

Apply the generated documentation to the given class name or defaults to the class used to generate docs.
