Applet GJS documentation deviation

[hydroperx]

I have installed devhelp, but when I browse it there are missing APIs for CJS; for example, there is no ui.popupMenu.PopupMenuManager there, even though my Linux Mint version (Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon)'s [email protected] applet uses it.

Also, there is no consistent documentation for St (GNOME Shell Tookit) API in CJS for example. There is IconStyle here, but not IconType, which the applet above uses.

Cjs is not an API, it is javascript language bindings. The apis you're referring to mostly live in https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/tree/master/js (js/ui/popupMenu.js for example).

You can get quite a bit by installing the cinnamon-doc package (if you're in Mint).

Some API that lives in muffin (Cinnamon's window manager) is best viewed at https://gjs-docs.gnome.org/ using API 7 libraries. Importable config: devdocs.json. Unfortunately these aren't available in devhelp.

I've tried installing the cinnamon-doc package, but the /usr/share/doc/cinnamon-doc directory contains... Nothing, just a readme and a license! Where would I access that exactly?
