# Documentation Generation
|
||||
|
||||
The dgeni tool is used to generate the documentation from the source files held in this repository.
|
||||
The documentation generation is configured by a dgeni package defined in `docs/angular.io-package/index.js`.
|
||||
This package, in turn requires a number of other packages, some are defined locally in the `docs` folder,
|
||||
such as `docs/cheatsheet-package` and `docs/content-package`, etc. And some are brought in from the
|
||||
`dgeni-packages` node modules, such as `jsdoc` and `nunjucks`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Generating the docs
|
||||
|
||||
To generate the documentation simply run `gulp docs` from the command line.
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing the dgeni packages
|
||||
|
||||
The local packages have unit tests that you can execute by running `gulp docs-test` from the command line.
|
||||
|
||||
## What does it generate?
|
||||
|
||||
The output from dgeni is written to files in the `dist/docs` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
Notably this includes a partial HTML file for each "page" of the documentation, such as API pages and guides.
|
||||
It also includes JavaScript files that contain metadata about the documentation such as navigation data and
|
||||
keywords for building a search index.
|
||||
|
||||
## Viewing the docs
|
||||
|
||||
You can view the dummy demo app using a simple HTTP server hosting `dist/docs/index.html`
