documentation_builder

Generates markdown documentation files from markdown template files. This can be useful when you write documentation for a Dart or Flutter project and want to reuse/import Dart code or Dart documentation comments.

It can generate the following files:

• ReadMeFile
• ChangeLogFile
• ExampleFile
• GitHub WikiTemplateFiles

documentation_builder is not intended to generate API documentation. Use dartdoc instead.

Examples

The DocumentationBuilders own documentation was generated by itself and also serves as show case.

You can view the templates files and the generated output on https://github.com and https://pub.dev:

• README
  • Markdown Template File
  • Generated Markdown File Raw
  • Generated Markdown File Rendered
• LICENSE
  • Markdown Template File
