Unity API references for DocFX

Automatically add clickable links to the Unity API on a DocFX documentation

Generates references of the Unity API to use with DocFX (the cross reference maps). DocFX will set clickable all the references of the Unity API on your documentation.

Usage

1. Make sure you have setup a DocFX documentation. You can follow the DocFxForUnity instructions otherwise.

2. Add this line to your docfx.json:

   • If you want to reference the latest stable version of Unity:

     "build": {
         "xref": [
     +        "https://normanderwan.github.io/UnityXrefMaps/xrefmap.yml"
         ],
     }
     

   • If you want to reference a specific version of Unity:

     "build": {
         "xref": [
     +        "https://normanderwan.github.io/UnityXrefMaps/<version>/xrefmap.yml"
         ],
     }
     

     where <version> is a Unity version in the form of YYYY.x (e.g. 2018.4, 2019.3, 2020.1).

   • If you prefer relying in a offline file:

     "build": {
         "xref": [
     +        "UnityXrefMap.yml"
         ],
     }
     

     where UnityXrefMap.yml has been downloaded from one of the link above and placed next to your docfx.json.
