Documentation Overview

The docs { } block inside kreate { project { } } integrates Dokka into your Gradle module. When enabled, Kreate applies the Dokka Gradle plugin automatically and configures it with your declared settings — no manual plugins { } block or dokka { } wiring needed.

Documentation generation is disabled by default. Enable it with:

kreate {
    project {
        docs {
            enabled.set(true)
        }
    }
}

How It Works

When enabled is true, Kreate:

Applies the DokkaPlugin to the Gradle project
Configures moduleName on the Dokka extension if set
Redirects the html publication output to outputDirectory if set
Sets the footerMessage of the Dokka HTML plugin to copyright if set

Dokka's dokkaGenerate task produces an HTML site from your KDoc comments. Run it with:

./gradlew dokkaGenerate

The output lands in build/dokka/html/ by default, or in the path you configure via outputDirectory.
