Hello desktop developers, as some of you may have noticed, there has been some activity on the documentation generator for gobject-introspection, and in particular a lot of improvements on the Gjs side. Now the result are beginning to appear, and you can see them here: https://people.gnome.org/~gcampagna/docs/ In particular, what is interesting is that we blend in generated and manually edited documentation. This allows us to remove all of GLib and GObject that is not interesting or badly annotated, and it lets us add things like GObject.Class ( https://people.gnome.org/~gcampagna/docs/GObject-2.0/GObject.Class.html ), which is the gjs specific way to define new GTypes. I hope to finish with the other overrides soon (the biggest ones are GLib.Variant and Gio.DBus*, but there's some minor stuff), which should solve one of the greatest hurdles in taking up gjs programming. The sources for this generation are not hosted anywhere, because I don't know if it makes sense to store generated (or semi-generated) files in git. I think it does, at least for GLib and GObject, because the update is always manual. cairo has the same problem, because we bind it manually, and the "native" gjs modules need documentation too. Of course, this location is only temporary, and I hope we will move to library-web at some point. This would also fix the styling, which right now is "poor" (it's a pure yelp-build of the mallard docs). The interesting part, though, is that the documentation, at least for the schematic parts, is correct and existing. awesome! A few comments/questions: 1) are there plans to get this into devhelp? We need to figure a namespace scheme for binding docs. The devhelp app itself already understands different languages. All we need is a index file like the ones gtk-doc generates. 2) I think it would be nice to share the css with gtk-doc so that the various docs are closer to each other. 3) there seem to be empty Returns: tags in the docs - e.g. https://people.gnome.org/~gcampagna/docs/Gst-1.0/Gst.Pipeline.get_bus.html 4) having these " // Gjs wrapper for gst_pipeline_get_bus()" comment in the method synopsis looks weird. Again thanks for doing this. I look forward to see a quick write out how the docs are generated. Stefan And naturally, help is welcome, but for now, enjoy!
