docs.nestjs.com project tooling

This document gives an overview of the tools we use to generate the content for the docs.nestjs.com website.

Transforms

All the content that is rendered by the docs.nestjs.com application, and some of its configuration files, are generated from source files by Dgeni. Dgeni is a general purpose documentation generation tool.

Markdown files in content are processed and transformed into files that are consumed by the docs.nestjs.com web frontend.

dgeni-cli

The dgeni CLI tools/dgeni-cli.ts is wrapper to start a Dgeni package from the command line. We do not take use of the CLI interface provided by the Dgeni package itself, mainly because it does not support TypeScript compilation on the fly.
