# Phpdoc dokuwiki template
This directory contains a template for rendering iTop phpdoc as dokuwiki pages.
Conventional tags that you should use:
* `@internal` : exclude from the documentation.
* `@api` : it means that a method is an api, thus it may be interacted with.
* `@see` : it points to another documented method
* `@link` : external url
* if you point to another page of the wiki, please use relative links.
* `@example` : let you provide example of code
* `@param`, `@return`, `@throws`, ...
## Special instructions
Some iTop specific tags were added :
* `@api-advanced`: it means that a method is an `@api` but mark it also as "complex" to use
* `@overwritable-hook`: used to mark a method as "designed to be extended"
* `@extension-hook`: not used for now
* `@phpdoc-tuning-exclude-inherited`: once this tag is present on a class, it's inherited methods won't be showed.
### known limitations:
#### `@see` tags must be very specific:
* always prefix class members (attributes or methods) with `ClassName::` (do not use self)
* for methods always suffix them with `()`,
* do not reference variables since they are not documented. If you have to, always prefix them with `$`
examples:
```
/**
* @see DBObject
* @see DBObject::Get()
* @see DBObject::$foo
*/
```
#### Do not use inline tags, they do not work properly, example:
```
/**
* This is a texts with an inline tag {@see [FQSEN] [<description>]} it must never be used
*/
```
#### The `@example` tag must respect this very precise syntax
* the sentence in the first line (next to the tag) is the title, it must be enclosed by double quotes
* the following lines are the sample code.
* 💔 since we simply hack the official tag, this syntax must be respected carefully 💔
example:
```
/**
* @example "This is the title of the multiline example"
* $foo = DBObject::Get('foo');
* DBObject::Set('foo', ++$foo);
*/
```
## How content is included into the documentation
**For a class** those requirements have to be respected:
- the file containing the class must be listed in `/phpdoc/files/file[]` of `.doc/phpdoc-objects-manipulation.dist.xml`
- the class **must not** have the tag `@internal`
- the class **must** have at least one of: `@api`, `@api-advanced`, `@overwritable-hook`, `@extension-hook`
Then, **for a method** of an eligible class:
- **public** methods **must** have at least one of: `@api`, `@api-advanced`, `@overwritable-hook`, `@extension-hook`
- **protected** methods **must** have at least one of: `@overwritable-hook`, `@extension-hook`
- **private** methods are **always excluded**
**Class properties** and **constants** are never documented (this is subject to change).
## A note about the rendering engine
:notebook: as spaces are used to mark code, the templates (`.doc/phpdoc-templates/combodo-wiki/*`) have very few indentation, thus they are awful to read (sorry).
## Installation
```
cd .doc
composer require phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor:~2 --dev
```
## Generation
1. Switch to this directory : `cd /path/to/itop/.doc`
2. `composer install`
3. `./bin/build-doc-object-manipulation`
3. `./bin/build-doc-extensions`
4. Get the generated files from `/path/to/itop/data/phpdocumentor/output`
## Dokuwiki requirements
* the template uses the [wrap plugin](https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:wrap).
* the generated files have to be placed under an arbitrary directory of `[/path/to/dokuwiki]/data/pages`.
* the html has to be activated [config:htmlok](https://www.dokuwiki.org/config:htmlok)
* the generated files have to be in lowercase
