5050 :: Dash docsets now available

• shashlick (orginal) [2019-07-26T23:07:48+02:00] view original

  Thanks to the work from niv and wicast before that, we now have docsets that can be used in Dash, Zeal or Velocity. These have been packaged and contributed here.

  Nim docsets should be available from Dash's Preferences > Downloads > User Contributed. Velocity also supports user contributed docsets. Zeal doesn't yet support user contributed so you can use the Nim feed from here.

  Note that all these apps only allow the latest version of a docset to be installed at a time so I have also generated version specific docsets that can be downloaded and extracted manually, allowing multiple versions to coexist.

  • Devel - https://bintray.com/genotrance/binaries/download_file?file_path=nim-0.20.99.docset.zip
  • 0.20.2 - https://bintray.com/genotrance/binaries/download_file?file_path=nim-0.20.2.docset.zip
  • 0.20.0 - https://bintray.com/genotrance/binaries/download_file?file_path=nim-0.20.0.docset.zip

  For others if you are confused like: Dash, Zeal and Velocity are offline doc viewing apps. So instead of using browser and google you use them:

  • https://kapeli.com/dash
  • https://zealdocs.org/
  • https://velocity.silverlakesoftware.com/

  This is cool for people who use these apps.

  Please change CFBundleIdentifier from nim-1.0.2 to nim

  That way it would be easier to do nim specific search when you have multiple docsets.

  
  nim:open
  Run

  Please see the first post to install the latest version directly from the tool. That does not have the version number in the identifier.

  These custom docsets linked here are only useful when you want multiple Nim versions to coexist.

  Dash docsets are now being maintained by https://github.com/schmidh/Nim-Docset-Files.

  v1.0.6 was recently merged: https://github.com/Kapeli/Dash-User-Contributions/pull/2646.

  I just built a dash docset for nim 1.4.2 using the setup at https://github.com/genotrance/nim-docset and then I created a PR on the Dash user-contributed docsets: https://github.com/Kapeli/Dash-User-Contributions/pull/3082

  Hopefully this will be available soon to other Dash / Zeal / etc. Nim programmers.

  In case you can't wait, here's the Nim.tgz: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u0e9t9c5l5ic8bd/nim.tgz?dl=0

  Is the last Zeal feed missed smth?

  Because if I search for peekUint8 - it shows nothing, but prev version worked fine. In both cases the function mentioned in streams module

  I tried Dash in the past, but it's really great with the Nim docs! It's just like the website but snappier. Thanks for making the docset.

  Thanks for this great resource. My previous one was getting quite long in the tooth :-)

  I've updated the script and generated new fixed docset: https://github.com/Archargelod/nim-docset/releases

  Dash/Zeal links will be updated with this PR merge.

  As I had some issues in getting dash-docs.el to work in Emacs, there is another great solution in my opinion: https://devdocs.io There is also an Emacs package devdocs.el and it's working great for me, if someone wants to give it a try. I also saw that there is a VSCode extension for this, too.
