Is it possible to hide variables in `@interface` declaration of a classes header?

[schriftgestalt]

I have still some instance variables in the headers in some classes. That should not show up in the doc.

I think the answer is to give them a doc comment containing :nodoc:. If that doesn't make sense then please post some code showing the problem.

[johnfairh]

Closing, answered.

[schriftgestalt]

Sorry for not answering earlier. Adding the :nodoc: does not change anything.

[johnfairh]

Oh ok - can you paste some code in please that shows the problem?

[schriftgestalt]

/**
 This defines the MySomeObject object.
 */
@interface MySomeObject : NSObject {
	NSString *_property;
	NSDictionary *_someDict;
}
/// my Property
@property (strong) NSString *property;
/// my SomeDict
@property (strong) NSDictionary *someDict;

@end

(I haven't been an ObjC programmer for a long time so bear with me...)

If you're talking about the _property and _someDict child items - which I agree look weird - then this works for me:

@interface MySomeObject : NSObject {
    /// :nodoc:
    NSString *_property;
    /// :nodoc:
    NSDictionary *_someDict;
}
...

...giving:

If you're talking about the _property and _someDict that remain in the screenshot in the actual declaration then I don't think we can get rid of those - it's part of what Clang thinks should be in the declaration. My Xcode quick help refuses to work for ObjC but I expect it would show up the same there too.

I’m speaking about the part next to the blue bar.

{
    NSString *_property;
    NSDictionary *_someDict;
}

I only what to have

@interface MySomeObject : NSObject

I like it to look like this:

Got it! There's no way to get jazzy to do that, you have to edit the html yourself. If ObjC developers agree this is the right thing to do in general we could add it; #829 is also about editing the libclang declaration to be more human-consumable.
