Hi all! Is there an equivalent of https://javadoc.io/ but for Dokka generated docs?
I understand it would require an equivalent of javadoc JARs for Dokka docs, but I don't know if even that is possible...
Thanks in advance for you help!

Have you tried just shoving dokkaHtml output into a jar and serving it via javadoc.io?

[Didier Villevalois]

I must admit I did not try that! 😄 I think it may be more complicated than that...

@Didier Villevalois we've been publishing javadoc jars that contain dokka into maven central to fill the javadoc requirement, and it does look like those are accessible through javadoc.io just fine

[Didier Villevalois]

Excellent! Would you mind giving me a link to the result javadoc.io link and also a link to a repository that shows the recipe to build a conformant javadoc.jar file? That would be really helpful to me!

[Joe]

sure thing:
pom snippet that builds it (we're a maven shop)
example javadoc.io link

[Big Chungus]

Yep, can confirm. Here's my kotlin.js (so no proper javadoc for sure) lib I've just checked https://javadoc.io/doc/dev.petuska/kmdc-core

[Didier Villevalois]

Thanks @Joe and @Big Chungus, adding a Jar task with a javadoc classifier works like a charm. 🤟

[Big Chungus]

FYI to the rest - you can host your dokka html docs on javadoc.io (by far the easiest option in terms of setup)

[Didier Villevalois]

@Big Chungus btw, your template-kmp-library and kmdc projects are literal Gradle know-how gold-mines for me. Thanks a lot for that!

[Big Chungus]

Awesome. I've been meaning to rework the template again since I've discovered even better ways of doing lots of things with kmp
