JSDoc's default template provides several options that you can use to customize the appearance and content of generated documentation.
To use these options, you must create a configuration file for JSDoc and set the appropriate options in the configuration file.
By default, JSDoc's default template generates pretty-printed versions of your source files. It also links to these pretty-printed files in the documentation.
To disable pretty-printed files, set the option templates.default.outputSourceFiles to false. Using this option also removes links to your source files from the documentation. This option is available in JSDoc 3.3.0 and later.
JSDoc's default template automatically copies a few static files, such as CSS stylesheets, to the output directory. In JSDoc 3.3.0 and later, you can tell the default template to copy additional static files to the output directory. For example, you might want to copy a directory of images to the output directory so you can display these images in your documentation.
To copy additional static files to the output directory, use the following options:
templates.default.staticFiles.include: An array of paths whose contents should be copied to the output directory. Subdirectories will be copied as well.templates.default.staticFiles.exclude: An array of paths that should not be copied to the output directory.templates.default.staticFiles.includePattern: A regular expression indicating which files to copy. If this property is not defined, all files will be copied.templates.default.staticFiles.excludePattern: A regular expression indicating which files to skip. If this property is not defined, nothing will be skipped.To copy all of the static files in ./myproject/static to the output directory:
{
"templates": {
"default": {
"staticFiles": {
"include": [
"./myproject/static"
]
}
}
}
}
If your static files directory contains the file ./myproject/static/img/screen.png, you can display the image in your docs by using the HTML tag <img src="img/screen.png">.
By default, JSDoc's default template always shows the current date in the footer of the generated documentation. In JSDoc 3.3.0 and later, you can omit the current date by setting the option templates.default.includeDate to false.
By default, JSDoc's default template shows a shortened version of each symbol's name in the navigation column. For example, the symbol my.namespace.MyClass would be displayed simply as MyClass. To show the complete longname instead, set the option templates.default.useLongnameInNav to true. This option is available in JSDoc 3.4.0 and later.
The default template uses a file named layout.tmpl to specify the header and footer for each page in the generated documentation. In particular, this file defines which CSS and JavaScript files are loaded for each page. In JSDoc 3.3.0 and later, you can specify your own layout.tmpl file to use, which allows you to load your own custom CSS and JavaScript files in addition to, or instead of, the standard files.
To use this feature, set the option templates.default.layoutFile to the path to your customized layout file. Relative paths are resolved against the current working directory; the path to the configuration file; and the JSDoc directory, in that order.
