express-aglio

easily use aglio with express to serve documentation for your api.

Don't know what aglio is? its an awesome commandline tool/node library tool for writing and compiling docs written in the Api Blueprint Language (APIB), which is really similar to markdown. It makes doc writing a breeze.

install

---

npm install --save express-aglio

features

• watch fs and recompile changes with node-watch
• automatically serve docs with express.static() (default uri is /docs)
• save time by devving express app and docs at the same time from same server. easy peasy lemon squeezy.

var app = require('express')();

require('express-aglio')(app,{
	source: __dirname+ '/docs/source/index.apib',
	output: __dirname+ '/docs/html/index.html'
});

app.listen(3000);

watch: true, //watch source dir/file for changes.
expose: true, //serve docs with express
uri: '/docs', //path to serve docs from

	this.debug && console.log.apply(console,arguments);
},

}
