How do I filter a class?

[XiaoJie-150]

Question
I didn't find any filter to generate the specified class, I only successfully filtered out the package, I tried .*xxxx\.a, but it didn't work

Installation

• Operating system: Windows
• Build tool: Gradle v8.9
• Dokka version: 2.0.0

At this moment, it's only possible via a custom Dokka plugin, similar to the one in our examples.
While I understand what you want, I'm not sure why you need this.
Could you please describe a use case for why you need this?

Only want specific classes to be shown or hidden, not all classes in the package

[whyoleg]

Could you expand a bit on why you need to do this? Like, why do you need to hide a specific class? Or only a specific class to be shown?
It will really be easier to prioritize and think about it, if there will be real-world use-cases

[XiaoJie-150]

I don't want others to see this class and use it, and then operate this class to cause logical anomalies and other problems.

Can you detail the methods and member variables?There seems to be no way to process the Java content. I have the same content in kotlin and Java, but only kotlin is processed.

@XiaoJie-150 I'm not sure I understand your question and how it is related to the problem above. Do you mind expanding on it?

[XiaoJie-150]

It is the same operation, but you can control the fields and methods in detail. After all, reflection can be used to operate

@XiaoJie-150 Note, if you want to just exclude some declaration from showing in documentation, you can just add the @suppress tag to the KDoc on the declaration, like this:

/** @suppress */
class ClassToHide

Dokka will ignore Kotlin classes/functions/etc. with this tag.

I see this option, but it requires more content and I don't want to write more content
