Yard::Clean by NRSER

Yeah this just adds a yard clean command to remove the db files.

Sometimes yard server --reload just doesn't cut it... generated HTML doesn't update, or ends up in a mixed state of old and new. This seems especially prevalent when using plugins.

In these cases, my easy answer is to whack the database directory (defaults to .yardoc/), causing the YARD server to rebuild the database on the next page load.

Yeah, this is basically rm -rf ./.yardoc, but I get sick of typing it, and scared that I'll fat-finger it and lose some uncommitted code.

So, this could just be a one-liner shell script, except when someone changes the database directory with --db FILE, and then I still need to distribute it somehow, so this gem seems almost reasonable.

Enjoy!

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'yard-clean'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install yard-clean

If you're running on a recent YARD, you also need to enable the plugin.

Add this to your .yardopts:

--plugin yard-clean

$ yard clean
