Dash layer
Description
This layer integrates offline api browsers into Emacs. It provides one for OS X, Linux and Windows.
Install
To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs
. You will need to
add dash
to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
list in this
file.
Dash (OS X)
Zeal (Linux & Windows)
You have to install zeal on your machine.
Then install the docsets you use more frequently
Configuration
By default, the dash layer will initialize all installed docsets to be active in all buffers. To disable this and opt-in to specific docsets for specific buffers, set:
(dash :variables
dash-autoload-common-docsets nil)
To change the location of the installed docsets, set:
(dash :variables
helm-dash-docset-newpath "~/.docsets")
Word at point
dash-at-point
and zeal-at-point
will search for the word at point in the respective offline api browser.
The result will be displayed in the offline browser's UI.
However having to leave emacs to have a look at the search results may be a bit awkward.
To help with this it is also possible to integrate the search results directly in helm
or ivy
and show the details in a browser. To do so helm-dash can be used for helm
and counsel-dash for ivy
.
To get them working it is necessary to set dash-docs-docset-newpath
to the location of your docsets.
(dash :variables
dash-docs-docset-newpath "~/.local/share/Zeal/Zeal/docsets")
For more details please check dash-at-point-usage or zeal-at-point.
