MDN javascript docs for offline use

Question

I am trying to make the MDN Javascript Reference available for offline viewing (for personal use).
I am not the owner of the website or the developer, and I can only access the generated release.

My first thought was to introduce HTML5 appcache.manifest on the page; Using manifestR I created a list of page properties.
Then I tried to specify my local manifest file using the file:/// protocol, using the http:// protocol, and finally using the base64 string representing the contents of the file ( data:text/cache-manifest, ). Nothing seems to work.

After a short search I came across them

Where can I find a standalone version of MDN Docs? Or , how can I view MDN documents while battery life?

Answer 1

Download it at https://mdn-downloads.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/developer.mozilla.org.tar.gz

Found on the About Me page of the wiki that uses the MDN document: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Project:MDN/About

And others: they are not mirrored with wget and co, this imposes unnecessary pressure on the website and interferes with other users. At the very least, make sure that https://developer.mozilla.org/robots.txt (which requires gentle regulation) is handled correctly. Wget does not handle this, for example ( http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30999 ).

Answer 2

JavaScript documents along with most MDN web pages are available on DevDocs .

The application is open source and can be run offline: https://github.com/Thibaut/devdocs

Easy to configure and does not require MDN cleanup.

Answer 3

This looks pretty promising: https://github.com/rgarcia/dochub

This is an all-in-one documentation site that can be installed on your own computer (requires node), containing data from a number of standard web links , including MDN . It contains a screen capture component that extracts information from MDN and updates it quickly (at least much faster than the wget mirror command mentioned above). I did not confirm how full the documents were, like scraping, but at first glance they look pretty good.

Answer 4

If you have a Mac, Dash ( http://kapeli.com/dash ) has documents created from the Mozilla developer network, including JavaScript. You can also avoid using Dash by downloading docset directly from http://kapeli.com/feeds/JavaScript.tgz .

Answer 5

load wget and use it to mirror the document:

wget -m -p https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference
