Usage

First, add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dev-dependencies]
docmatic = "0.1"

Next, in your test file:

extern crate docmatic;

fn test_readme() {
    docmatic::assert_file("README.md");
}

For more information on using docmatic, look at the documentation

Why Docmatic?

Compared to doing nothing:

  • When you have stale documentation, it gives a sour taste to those considering your crate

Compared to #![doc(include = "../README.md")]

  • Allows your README to focus on potential contributors and your API docs on potential users
  • Doesn't require nightly

Compared to rustdoc -L target/debug/deps/ --test README.md

  • For docmatic:
    • Easier for contributors to know how to run
  • For rustdoc:
    • Simple
    • No dependencies to muck with

Compared to skeptic:

  • For docmatic:
    • Fewer dependencies for faster build
    • Doesn't require exposing those dependencies to your users via a [build-dependencies]
    • Runs in the expected working directory
  • For skeptic:
    • Skeptic templates
    • Better integration with cargo test (each block is a distinct test)

Credits

We're grateful for all of the work done on skeptic, the spiritual predecessor to docmatic and the work of people iterating on a lighter weight solution.
