README
A simple RAML to HTML documentation generator, written for Node.js, with theme support.
RAML version support
raml2html 4 and higher only support RAML 1.0 files. Please stick with raml2html 3.x for RAML 0.8 support.
Install
npm i -g raml2html
Themes
raml2html ships with a default theme, but you can install more from NPM. For example, to render RAML to Markdown, you can install the raml2html-markdown-theme theme:
npm i -g raml2html-markdown-theme
Search NPM for the "raml2html-theme" keyword (or use this link) to find more themes.
Usage
As a command line script
raml2html --help
raml2html example.raml > example.html
raml2html --theme raml2html-markdown-theme example.raml > example.html
raml2html --template my-custom-template.nunjucks -i example.raml -o example.html
As a library
Using the default theme, different themes, or your own Nunjucks templates
const raml2html = require('raml2html');
const configWithDefaultTheme = raml2html.getConfigForTheme();
const configForDifferentTheme = raml2html.getConfigForTheme('raml2html-markdown-theme');
const configWithCustomTemplate = raml2html.getConfigForTemplate('~/path/to/my-custom-template.nunjucks');
// source can either be a filename, url, or parsed RAML object
raml2html.render(source, configWithDefaultTheme).then(function(result) {
// Save the result to a file or do something else with the result
}, function(error) {
// Output error
});
Using your own processing function, for full control over the whole rendering process
/**
* config should be an object with at least an `processRamlObj` property which is a function that receives the raw RAML
* object and must return a promise with the result. You can do whatever you want in this function.
*
* You can also supply a postProcessHtml function that can for example minify the generated HTML.
*
* You can also supply a writeOutput function that takes over writing the output (to disk for example).
*
* You can also supply a setupNunjucks function that takes the env as its only parameter.
*/
raml2html.render(source, config).then(function(result) {
// Save the result to a file or do something else with the result
}, function(error) {
// Output error
});
See also examples/script.js for multiple examples of using raml2html as a library.

Before you report a bug
If you get parsing errors, please do not report them to raml2html: it doesn't do the actual RAML parsing. Review the error and fix your RAML file, or open a new issue at raml-js-parser-2.
