RAML to Markdown

A simple RAML to Markdown documentation generator, written for Node.js. Check raml2html for a RAML to HTML generator.

Install

npm i -g raml2md

Usage

As a command line script

raml2md example.raml > example.md
raml2md -i example.raml -o example.md
raml2md -t custom-template.nunjucks -i example.raml -o example.md

As a library

Using the default templates

var raml2md = require('raml2md');
var config = raml2md.getDefaultConfig();

// source can either be a filename, file contents (string) or parsed RAML object.
// Returns a promise.
raml2md.render(source, config).then(function(result) {
  // Save the result to a file or do something else with the result
}, function(error) {
  // Output error
});

Using your own Nunjucks templates

var raml2md = require('raml2md');

// source can either be a filename, file contents (string) or parsed RAML object.
// config should be an object with at least a `template` property which is a url (relative from the working directory) to your main template,
// you can also include a processOutput function.
// Returns a promise.
raml2md.render(source, config).then(function(result) {
  // Save the result to a file or do something else with the result
}, function(error) {
  // Output error
});

If you want to use a different template language, you're better off directly using raml2obj.

To do

This project is in an early stage. The generated Markdown is missing a lot of details but should be very usable for README's, for example.
