Is there a command line program to lookup Scaladoc

Question

Ruby has a program called ri where you can type in 'ri Array' and get its manpage. Is there something like that for scaladoc?

Answer 1

Now that the Scaladoc web "app" is being enhanced with indexes for fast in-browser search, this kind of thing should become much easier, especially now that there's always a JS interpreter in JDK6. I'd suggest filing an enhancement request. :)

Answer 2

vim-scaladoc was released in late 2012.

Answer 3

Not that I know of, but it would be cool. I don't think it would be too hard to do it, given that scaladoc (I heard) is supposed to be kind of pluggable.

Answer 4

Stefan Zeiger's Extradoc would probably be a good basis for this and other documentation tools.

Answer 5

With a command-line browser like elinks, and just one directory which matches scaladoc, you can use:

#!/bin/bash
for link in $(locate scaladoc | grep $1); do elinks $link ; done
