docfy generate

Escaneia seu projeto e gera um *.controller.docs.ts pré-preenchido para cada controller, só análise estática, sem executar código do projeto.

Uso

bash

npx nestjs-docfy generate [options]

Option	Default	Description
`--root <path>`	`.`	Project root directory
`--tsconfig <path>`	auto-detected	Path to `tsconfig.json`
`--pattern <glob>`	`*/.controller.ts`	Glob pattern to find controllers
`--out <path>`	alongside each controller	Output directory for generated files
`--force`	`false`	Merge new methods into existing docs files (preserves user edits)
`--dry-run`	`false`	Print what would be generated without writing files
`--quiet`	`false`	Suppress all output except errors (CI-friendly)
`--format`	`ts`	Output format: `ts` or `js`

A CLI auto-detecta o layout do seu projeto, nenhuma configuração necessária:

Layout	Detected when
Simple project	`tsconfig.json` at root, no monorepo markers
Nx monorepo	`nx.json` present
Nest CLI monorepo	`nest-cli.json` with `"monorepo": true`
Generic monorepo	`packages/` or `apps/` with sub-`package.json` files

Scenario	Behavior
Run `generate` on a clean project	Creates all docs files
Run `generate` again (no changes)	Skips all existing files, safe to run repeatedly
Add a new endpoint, run `generate --force`	Merges new method block, preserves existing arrays
Edit a method's decorators, run `--force`	Your edits are preserved

Adicione ao seu package.json por conveniência:

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