godocdash

Godocdash

Generate Dash docset for Dash/Zeal from your local $GOPATH packages.

Features

• Support Package, Type, Function, Constant, Variable entry types of dash docsets currently.

• You can set your own custom docset name and icon for different $GOPATH.

• Concurrent generating, usally it only takes a few seconds to complete.

• Go standard libraries are ignored, as there's Go docset in Dash/Zeal downloads already.

How It Works

While running, godocdash will first start a temporary godoc server, then find the package entries to grab the godoc pages, and generate the docset.

Installing

go get github.com/thoeni/godocdash

And make sure godoc command is in your $PATH.

Usage

Generally, just run:

godocdash

And a docset named GoDoc.docset will be generated in your current directory, you can then place it into Dash/Zeal docsets path.

As godocdash directly passes your current environment variables to godoc, you can change the source $GOPATH by setting it while running godocdash:

GOPATH=/another/gopath godocdash

You can also change the docset name and icon, or mute the output:

GOPATH=/another/gopath godocdash --options.silent --docset.name AnotherGodocName --docset.icon new_icon.png --docset.filters github.com/user/pkg,github.com/org/pkg

It's also possible to specify a filter in order to generate a subset of the documentation, by using the --docset.filter flag.

Command line flags:

$ godocdash -h
Usage of godocdash:
      --docset.filters string   Comma separated filters, e.g. github.com/user/pkg1,user/pkg2
      --docset.icon string      Docset icon .png path
      --docset.name string      Set docset name (default "GoDoc")
      --options.silent          Silent mode (only print error)

Configuration can be provided via toml file (by default it should be placed in the current directory or in /tmp):

[Docset]
filters = ["user/arepo", "github.com/anotheruser/another-repo"]
name = "adocsetname"

[Options]
silent = true
