docs

Description

The docs command builds HTML documentation using phpDocumentor. It generates documentation from:

• PSR-4 paths declared in composer.json (API docs)
• Selected source directory (guide docs)

Usage

composer docs
composer dev-tools docs
composer docs [options]
composer dev-tools docs -- [options]
vendor/bin/dev-tools docs [options]

Options

--target, -t (optional)

Path to the output directory for the generated HTML documentation. Default: .dev-tools .

--source, -s (optional)

Path to the source directory for the guide documentation. Default: docs .

--template (optional)

Path to the template directory for the generated HTML documentation. Default: vendor/fast-forward/phpdoc-bootstrap-template .

--cache-dir (optional)

Path to the cache directory for phpDocumentor. Default: .dev-tools/cache/phpdoc .

--progress

Enable progress output from phpDocumentor.

--json

Emit a structured machine-readable payload instead of the normal terminal output.

--pretty-json

Emit the same structured payload with indentation for terminal inspection.

Examples

Generate docs with defaults:

composer docs

Generate to custom directory:

composer docs --target=dist/docs

Use custom source:

composer docs --source=docs/user-guide

Exit Codes

Behavior

• docs/ must exist unless you pass another --source directory.
• API pages are built from the PSR-4 paths declared in composer.json .
• Guide pages are built from the selected source directory.
• A temporary phpdocumentor.xml is created in the cache directory.
• Progress output is disabled by default; use --progress to re-enable it in text mode.
• --json and --pretty-json suppress phpDocumentor progress rendering so the structured payload stays readable.
• Markers: TODO, FIXME, BUG, HACK are included.
