Mozilla online documentation are great, but sometimes I don't have the internet connection and reference in the o'reilly javascript definitive guide is also great but lack of the handy searchable capability.

I just wonder if there anything for javascript like railsapi, or yard, or jQAPI

  • Good question. Going back ten years I used to rely on a local install of MSDN, but I'd love to know about a current (and free) offline reference. – nnnnnn Jan 24 '12 at 02:54
  • @nnnnnn same thing happen to me in 2012, when I want to check some methods of a certain object, I'm looking into O'reilly Javascript guide, it's a great book, but It's not elegant, somebody give me a better way? – mko Feb 06 '12 at 10:54

You can probably blame the lack of uniform documentation styles and the fact that there is no centrally approved Javascript "stdlib", but there seems to be no such off-line doc generators or generated documentation.

There is, strangely, a certain amount of documentation available as Windows help files (CHM):

  • Thanks for the resources you've provided here, but what am I looking for is a offline reference with search and list function like YARD in Ruby – mko Feb 06 '12 at 10:56
  • prototypejs 's dashboard widget is cool. but it link back to the web. no local storage. . – mko Feb 06 '12 at 11:01
  • in that prototypejs page there is a link to the CHM and PDF files that you can use offline with CHM and PDF readers (that usually have search features). – gioele Feb 06 '12 at 11:08
