express-aglio

easily use aglio with express to serve documentation for your api.

Don't know what aglio is? its an awesome commandline tool/node library tool for writing and compiling docs written in the Api Blueprint Language (APIB), which is really similar to markdown. It makes doc writing a breeze.

install

npm install --save express-aglio

• watch fs and recompile changes with node-watch
