@atscm/transformer-help

This module is still under development

A transformer that generates help for displays and scripts.

Usage

This module is not yet published! You'll have to install it manually in the meantime: Install from source with npm i --save-dev github:atscm/transformer-help, then run npm install and npm run build inside it's directory.

• Install the package with npm: npm i --save-dev @atscm/transformer-help.
• Add it to your Atviseproject's transformers. (See ./example/Atviseproject.js for an example).
• Run atscm push to generate help documents

Note that this will override any custom help documents.

How it works

atscm creates a json file for every display and script describing the parameters available. This transformer reads this information when running atscm push and creates an HTML help file for every node pushed.

Possible improvements

• [ ] Add a custom description from a markdown file (e.g. src/AGENT/DISPLAYS/Main.display/help.md) to the generated help document.
• [ ] Support multiple languages
• [ ] Wrap the code to provide type-safe access to parameters. (Currently, when a parameter with name "test" is set to be a number, webMI.query.test is equal to "13" instead of 13)
• [ ] Any ideas/thoughts? -> Create an issue
