Configuration Reference

Properties

Property	Type	Default	Description
`enabled`	`Property<Boolean>`	`false`	Master switch — applies and configures Dokka when `true`
`moduleName`	`Property<String>`	(not set)	The module name shown in the generated documentation
`copyright`	`Property<String>`	(not set)	Footer message rendered on every page of the HTML output
`outputDirectory`	`Property<String>`	(Dokka default: `dokka/html`)	Output path relative to the Gradle `build/` directory

All properties are optional except enabled. When a property is not set, Kreate skips that part of the Dokka configuration and leaves the Dokka default in place.

`moduleName`

Sets DokkaExtension.moduleName. This value appears as the top-level title in the generated HTML site and in the module list when multiple modules are aggregated.

docs {
    enabled.set(true)
    moduleName.set("MyLibrary")
}

`copyright`

Sets the footerMessage of Dokka's HTML plugin parameters. The string is rendered as plain HTML in the footer of every generated page, so HTML tags are supported.

docs {
    enabled.set(true)
    copyright.set("© 2026 Davils. Licensed under Apache 2.0.")
}

If copyright is not present, the footer configuration block is skipped entirely and Dokka's default (empty footer) is used.

`outputDirectory`

Redirects the html Dokka publication output to a custom subdirectory inside build/. The path is relative to the build directory.

docs {
    enabled.set(true)
    outputDirectory.set("docs/api")
}

The HTML site is then written to build/docs/api/ instead of the default build/dokka/html/.
