ExDocDocset

Bundles :ex_doc documentation into a docset.

Docsets can be loaded into Dash(Mac OS) or Zeal(Win/Linux). Not yet tested with Zeal though.

Usage

In mix.exs add the formatters config:

def project do
  [
    app: :my_app,
    version: "0.1.0-dev",
    deps: deps(),

    # Docs
    docs: [
      formatters: ["html", "epub", ExDocDocset.Formatter.DocSet]
    ]
  ]
end

The formatter will then create a docset in your ./doc folder.

• Dash uses a newer optimized index: Figure out what's that about
• Hide layout only if navigator.userAgent.includes('Dash/')
  • Check zeal for UA

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed by adding ex_doc_docset to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:ex_doc_docset, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Documentation can be generated with ExDoc and published on HexDocs. Once published, the docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/ex_doc_docset.
