Installation

Just use CommandBox! No, really.

Using DocBox in a Standalone Application
Installing and using DocBox consists of three main steps:
Download
For best results, use CommandBox to run box install docbox --saveDev in your app root.
Alternatively, you can download the DocBox source code and drop it into a docbox folder in your application.
Mapping
If DocBox is not installed in the root of your application, you will need to create a docbox mapping that points to the DocBox source code location:
this.mappings[ "docbox" ] = expandPath( "./libraries/doctorBox" );
In addition to the Docbox mapping, you will need a Coldfusion server mapping for each source code location. For example, documenting a component with implements="cbsecurity.interfaces.IAuthService" will require a mapping of cbsecurity to the installedcbsecurity source code so DocBox can find the referenced interface.
Using DocBox
The final step to get DocBox running is to write a CFML script that initializes, configures, and runs DocBox against your application code.
See Configuration for more details.
Using DocBox from the Command Line
We also have a CommandBox module called DocBox Commands, which enables generating documentation from the CLI.
1.Run box install commandbox-docbox to install the docbox command namespace
2.Run docbox help to get a list of commands
3.Run docbox generate help to show help for the docbox generate command
Please see the DocBox Commands README for more info.
