5 AngularJS Documentation Generators

Sam Deering Sam Deering (updated ) docs

In today’s post I’ve had a look at some ways to auto generate your documentation for your AngularJS apps. They seem to be very scarce and even the ones out there being used are not very good in my opinion. Debate-ably the best one Docular having used it myself in great detail, even has it’s down sides and can be quite painful to work with. However, check them out and if you find any other decent Angularjs documentation generators please do leave a comment.
