polydox

Pipe multiple files into dox at once.

Why

The original dox CLI tool reads a single source from stdin:

$ dox < utils.js
...JSON...

This simple idea gets complicated in a multi-file project. Here are your options:

• Concat files before piping them to dox:

$ cat source/*.js | dox
...LINE NUMBERS LOST...

• Concat dox output:

$ for file in source/*.js; do dox $file; done
...NOT VALID JSON...

• Wild hacks.

But worry no more! Now you have polydox:

$ polydox source/*.js
[
  {
    // …usual dox output PLUS:
    "sourceFile": "source/a.js"
  },
  {
    // …usual dox output PLUS:
    "sourceFile": "source/b.js"
  },
]
