# 📚 GegoK12 Documentation Setup Complete

Your API documentation system is now ready! Here's everything you need to know:

## 🚀 Quick Start

### View Documentation (Easiest Way)

```bash
./view-docs.sh
```

This will open `docs-viewer.html` in your default browser.

### Access via Local Server

The project HTTP server is already running on port **8080**:

```
http://localhost:8080/docs-viewer.html
```

### Generate Full PHPDoc Documentation

```bash
./generate-docs.sh
```

This will:

1. Download PHPDocumentor (if not already installed)
2. Parse all phpDoc comments from `/app` directory
3. Generate HTML documentation in `/storage/phpdoc`
4. Open it in your browser

    - Class and method descriptions
    - Parameter types and descriptions
    - Return types
    - Exception information

### For Team Documentation

1. Host `storage/phpdoc/index.html` on a web server
2. Share the URL with your team
3. Documentation auto-updates when you regenerate

## 💡 Documentation Standards

All code follows these standards:

### Methods

```php
/**
 * Brief description
 *
 * Longer explanation if needed.
 *
 * @param string $param Description
 * @return string Result description
 * @throws Exception When error occurs
 */
public function method($param) { }
```

### Classes

```php
/**
 * Class Description
 *
 * Detailed explanation of purpose and usage.
 */
class MyClass { }
```

### Properties

```php
/**
 * @var string Description of this property
 */
private $property;
```

## 🌐 Viewing Options

### Option 1: Browser File (Recommended for Quick Access)

```bash
./view-docs.sh
```

### Option 2: Local HTTP Server

```bash
# Start server (already running on port 8080)
cd /Users/karthick/Code/gegok12-opensource
python3 -m http.server 8080 --directory .

# Visit: http://localhost:8080/docs-viewer.html
```

### Option 3: Static HTML Files (After Generation)

```bash
./generate-docs.sh
open storage/phpdoc/index.html
```

## 🔧 Configuration

Edit `phpdoc.xml` to:

-   Change output directory
-   Add/remove documented folders
-   Change documentation template
-   Adjust other generation settings

Current settings:

-   **Source**: `./app` directory
-   **Output**: `./storage/phpdoc`
-   **Template**: responsive (modern, clean design)
-   **Excluded**: Console, Middleware, Providers

## 📊 Generated Documentation Includes

-   ✅ Class/Trait/Interface definitions
-   ✅ Method signatures and documentation
-   ✅ Parameter types and descriptions
-   ✅ Return types
-   ✅ Exception information
-   ✅ Property documentation
-   ✅ Cross-referencing between classes
-   ✅ Search functionality
-   ✅ Inheritance hierarchy

## 🚦 Next Steps

1. ✅ **View existing docs**:

    ```bash
    ./view-docs.sh
    ```

2. ✅ **Add more classes** (if needed):

    - Update their phpDoc blocks
    - Run `./generate-docs.sh` to refresh

3. ✅ **Share with team**:

    - Host `storage/phpdoc` on a web server
    - Or share `docs-viewer.html`
    - Or share via GitHub Pages

4. ✅ **Integrate with CI/CD**:
    - Add doc generation to your pipeline
    - Auto-deploy to documentation site

## 🆘 Troubleshooting

**Q: "view-docs.sh not found"**

```bash
chmod +x view-docs.sh
./view-docs.sh
```

**Q: "Can't see generated docs"**

-   Ensure `generate-docs.sh` ran successfully
-   Check `storage/phpdoc/index.html` exists
-   Try: `python3 -m http.server 8000 --directory storage/phpdoc`

**Q: "Want to regenerate docs?"**

```bash
rm -rf storage/phpdoc/*
./generate-docs.sh
```

**Q: "How to customize documentation?"**

-   Edit `phpdoc.xml` for generation settings
-   Edit `docs-viewer.html` for viewer styling
-   See `DOCUMENTATION_SETUP.md` for advanced options

## 📝 Tips

-   💡 Always add phpDoc to public methods
