Thought that much. ;-)
And there already is an API. How else ? This is Free Pascal !
If you look in the browser developer console when using that page,
you'll see there are 2 calls available which do return JSON.
My bad, I initially thought Ryan was simply quoting the FPC docs URL
with a "wish for a search URL". It's only after I sent my first reply
that I actually clicked on the URL and noticed the search box. Very nice
to see it available now.
How is the search data generated - via fpdoc? What storage format does
it use?
Postgres database. the data is generated once from the HTML using fpindex.
All is in SVN. packages/fpindex.
I will of course need to update the database when we release 3.2 and I update
the
docs.
I remember years ago I found a JavaScript search engine that could be
integrated with fpdoc's HTML output, but that storage format was
JavaScript (if I remember correctly) and was huge.
Well, that would also have been an option, but I thought it would be nice to
showcase that FPC has all the tools you need for whatever task you set it
Never miss a chance to show off what FPC can do ;-)
Michael.
