An example is as follows: + +```go +package main + +import ( + "log" + + "github.com/spf13/cobra" + "github.com/spf13/cobra/doc" +) + +func main() { + cmd := &cobra.Command{ + Use: "test", + Short: "my test program", + } + err := doc.GenReSTTree(cmd, "/tmp") + if err != nil { + log.Fatal(err) + } +} +``` + +That will get you a ReST document `/tmp/test.rst` + +## Generate ReST docs for the entire command tree + +This program can actually generate docs for the kubectl command in the kubernetes project + +```go +package main + +import ( + "log" + "io/ioutil" + "os" + + "k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/kubectl/cmd" + cmdutil "k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/kubectl/cmd/util" + + "github.com/spf13/cobra/doc" +) + +func main() { + kubectl := cmd.NewKubectlCommand(cmdutil.NewFactory(nil), os.Stdin, ioutil.Discard, ioutil.Discard) + err := doc.GenReSTTree(kubectl, "./") + if err != nil { + log.Fatal(err) + } +} +``` + +This will generate a whole series of files, one for each command in the tree, in the directory specified (in this case "./") + +## Generate ReST docs for a single command + +You may wish to have more control over the output, or only generate for a single command, instead of the entire command tree. If this is the case you may prefer to `GenReST` instead of `GenReSTTree` + +```go + out := new(bytes.Buffer) + err := doc.GenReST(cmd, out) + if err != nil { + log.Fatal(err) + } +``` + +This will write the ReST doc for ONLY "cmd" into the out, buffer. + +## Customize the output + +Both `GenReST` and `GenReSTTree` have alternate versions with callbacks to get some control of the output: + +```go +func GenReSTTreeCustom(cmd *Command, dir string, filePrepender func(string) string, linkHandler func(string, string) string) error { + //... +} +``` + +```go +func GenReSTCustom(cmd *Command, out *bytes.Buffer, linkHandler func(string, string) string) error { + //... +} +``` + +The `filePrepender` will prepend the return value given the full filepath to the rendered ReST file. A common use case is to add front matter to use the generated documentation with [Hugo](http://gohugo.io/): + +```go +const fmTemplate = `--- +date: %s +title: "%s" +slug: %s +url: %s +--- +` +filePrepender := func(filename string) string { + now := time.Now().Format(time.RFC3339) + name := filepath.Base(filename) + base := strings.TrimSuffix(name, path.Ext(name)) + url := "/commands/" + strings.ToLower(base) + "/" + return fmt.Sprintf(fmTemplate, now, strings.Replace(base, "_", " ", -1), base, url) +} +``` + +The `linkHandler` can be used to customize the rendered links to the commands, given a command name and reference. This is useful while converting rst to html or while generating documentation with tools like Sphinx where `:ref:` is used: + +```go +// Sphinx cross-referencing format +linkHandler := func(name, ref string) string { + return fmt.Sprintf(":ref:`%s <%s>`", name, ref) +} +``` |
