Documantation with mule
- 1. Automatic documentation with Mule
- 2. Documentation is very important aspect in our software project which explains how it operates or how to use it, and may mean different things to people in different role. It identify attributes, capabilities, characteristics, or qualities of a system or project. Do you know your Anypoint Studio has a feature to generate documentation of our Mule project ??
- 3. Anypoint Studio simplifies the approach for application documentation. It allows to generate an HTML based documentation for the application by click of a button. It supports the ability to import and export your projects or various project elements and has the ability to document each of the flows, elements, code and it’s attributes.
- 5. Yes .. We can .. I will show you this trick .. How ??
- 6. Anypoint studio has an inbuild document generator plugin available??
- 7. So, let’s consider we have following flow:-
- 8. Mule config will be You can see in the code we have written the description of the components in the doc:name attributes .. Now when document will be generated we will be getting the description of the component in the documentation
- 9. Now, in anypoint studio we will see a plugin that is for document generation :- Now, let’s click on the plugin shown in the red mark above
- 10. It will ask for a location to generate our documentation files We select a path and click on Generate Studio Documentation. In our case the documentation will generate in C:Tempdocs folder
- 11. The document is getting generated in the given folder
- 12. We will find folders and a index.html files has been generated in the given folder as Studio generates, then saves the documentation for your project as an index.html file on your local drive. If we double-click to open the index.html, file will open in our default Web browser as above.
- 13. Thus, the documentation contains every single flows and shows both the graphical flow design and XML configuration code of each individual flows within the application. You can see it also contains our code and description of our flows and components both graphically and also in xml format
- 14. In my next slide I will bring some other techniques in Mule implementation . Hope you have enjoyed this simpler version. Keep sharing your knowledge and let our Mule community grow
