## Auto-README Generator
Auto-README Generator is a Node.js package designed to simplify the process of creating README files for your projects. It automatically extracts metadata from your `package.json` file and parses code comments from your source files to generate a comprehensive README file, saving you time and effort.
### Features
- **Automatic Metadata Extraction**: Extracts project metadata such as name, description, version, author, and license from `package.json`.
- **Code Comment Parsing**: Parses code comments from your source files to include in the README file, providing insights into your codebase.
- **Customizable Template**: Allows customization of the generated README template to suit your project's specific requirements.
### Installation
You can install Auto-README Generator globally via npm to use it as a command-line tool:
```
npm install -g auto-readme-generator
```
Alternatively, you can install it locally in your project:
```
npm install auto-readme-generator --save-dev
```
### Usage
#### Command Line
To generate a README file for your project, navigate to your project directory and run the following command:
```
auto-readme-generator
```
#### API
You can also use Auto-README Generator programmatically in your Node.js scripts:
```javascript
const { generateReadme } = require('auto-readme-generator');
// Generate README content
const metadata = {
// Define project metadata here
};
const comments = [
// Provide code comments here
];
const readmeContent = generateReadme(metadata, comments);
console.log(readmeContent);
```
