docfy generate

Scannt dein Projekt und erzeugt eine vorausgefüllte *.controller.docs.ts pro Controller, nur statische Analyse, es wird kein Projektcode ausgeführt.

Verwendung

bash
npx nestjs-docfy generate [options]

Optionen

Projekttypen

Die CLI erkennt das Layout deines Projekts automatisch, keine Konfiguration nötig:

LayoutDetected when
Simple projecttsconfig.json at root, no monorepo markers
Nx monoreponx.json present
Nest CLI monoreponest-cli.json with "monorepo": true
Generic monorepopackages/ or apps/ with sub-package.json files

Idempotenz: --force vs --overwrite

ScenarioBehavior
Run generate on a clean projectCreates all docs files
Run generate again (no changes)Skips all existing files, safe to run repeatedly
Add a new endpoint, run generate --forceMerges new method block, preserves existing arrays
Edit a method's decorators, run --forceYour edits are preserved
Run generate --overwriteDiscards the file entirely, regenerates from scratch

npm-Script

Zur Bequemlichkeit zu deiner package.json hinzufügen:

json
{
  "scripts": {
    "docs:generate": "nestjs-docfy generate",
    "docs:preview": "nestjs-docfy generate --dry-run"
