This commit updates the doc-gen to account for the changes to the codebase for decorators. There are actually three kinds of calls that create decorators: * makeDecorator * makePropDecorator * makeParamDecorator Also, the actual documentation for each decorator is split between two exported symbols: * `interface [DecoratorName]` contains the metadata fields * interface [DecoratorName]Decorator` contains a "call member" which holds the general description of the decorator. This processor now identifies all three decorator types, and pulls the description of the callMember onto the main decorator doc description. (There are some outstanding interfaces in the angular/angular project that need to be re-exported from `/angular/modules/@angular/core/src/metadata.ts` to ensure that the doc-gen is able to access them.) Closes https://github.com/angular/angular.io/pull/2349 |

Documentation Generation
The dgeni tool is used to generate the documentation from the source files held in this repository.
The documentation generation is configured by a dgeni package defined in docs/angular.io-package/index.js
.
This package, in turn requires a number of other packages, some are defined locally in the docs
folder,
such as docs/cheatsheet-package
and docs/content-package
, etc. And some are brought in from the
dgeni-packages
node modules, such as jsdoc
and nunjucks
.
Generating the docs
To generate the documentation simply run gulp docs
from the command line.
Testing the dgeni packages
The local packages have unit tests that you can execute by running gulp docs-test
from the command line.
What does it generate?
The output from dgeni is written to files in the dist/docs
folder.
Notably this includes a partial HTML file for each "page" of the documentation, such as API pages and guides. It also includes JavaScript files that contain metadata about the documentation such as navigation data and keywords for building a search index.
Viewing the docs
You can view the dummy demo app using a simple HTTP server hosting dist/docs/index.html
