Library for generating interface documentation from types

Generate interface documentation for your types

Example

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveGeneric #-}
{-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}
module Example where

import Data.Aeson (ToJSON)
import Data.Proxy (Proxy(..))
import Data.Docs (markdown, Docs(..), Sample(..), genDocs, genDocsEnum)
import Data.Text (Text)
import qualified Data.Text as Text
import GHC.Generics (Generic)

data Person = Person
    { name :: Text
    , age :: Age
    , hobbies :: [Hobby]
    } deriving (Show, Eq, Generic)
instance ToJSON Person
instance Docs Person
instance Sample Person where
    sample _ = Person
      { name = "Bob"
      , age = sample (Proxy :: Proxy Age)
      , hobbies = [Haskell, Friends]
      }

newtype Age = Age Int
    deriving (Show, Eq, Generic)
instance ToJSON Age
instance Docs Age where
    docs = genDocs "Age in years"
instance Sample Age where
    sample _ = Age 31
    samples _ = [Age 31, Age 24]

data Hobby = Haskell | Friends | Movies
    deriving (Show, Eq, Generic, Enum, Bounded)
instance ToJSON Hobby
instance Docs Hobby where
    docs = genDocsEnum "Hobby"
instance Sample Hobby where
    sample _ = Haskell

doc :: IO ()
doc = do
    putStrLn $ Text.unpack json

json :: Text
json = Text.intercalate "\n\n\n" $
  [ markdown (Proxy :: Proxy Person)
  , markdown (Proxy :: Proxy Age)
  , markdown (Proxy :: Proxy Hobby)
  ]

This generates the following output

Person
---------------------

| Field   | Type              |
|---------|-------------------|
| name    | [Text](#text)     |
| age     | [Age](#age)       |
| hobbies | [[Hobby]](#hobby) |

```
{
    "age": 31,
    "hobbies": [
        "Haskell",
        "Friends"
    ],
    "name": "Bob"
}
```
