TypeDoc for TypeScriptLibs.org

Modified documentation generator for TSL projects.

Installation

TypeScriptLibs.TypeDoc runs on Node.js and is available as an NPM package. You can install it in your project-folder as usual:

$ npm install github:typescriptlibs/typescriptlibs.typedoc --save-dev

Usage

Shell

TypeScriptLibs.TypeDoc accepts most of the command line arguments that the TypeScript compiler accepts. One major difference is the fact that one may pass an entire directory instead of individual files to the documentation generator. So in order to create a documentation for an entire project you simply type:

$ npx tsl-typedoc --out path/to/documentation/ path/to/typescript/project/

Arguments

For a complete list of the command line arguments run tsl-typedoc --help.

• --out <path/to/documentation/>
  Specifies the location the documentation should be written to. Defaults to ./docs
• --mode <file|modules>
  Specifies the output mode the project is used to be compiled with.
• --options
  Specify a json option file that should be loaded. If not specified TypeDoc will look for 'typedoc.json' in the current directory.
• --json <path/to/output.json>
  Specifies the location and file name a json file describing the project is written to. When specified no documentation will be generated.
• --ignoreCompilerErrors
  Allows TypeDoc to still generate documentation pages even after the compiler has returned errors.

Source file handling

• --exclude <pattern>
  Exclude files by the given pattern when a path is provided as source. Supports standard minimatch patterns (see #170)
• --includeDeclarations
  Turn on parsing of .d.ts declaration files.
• --excludeExternals
  Do not document external files, highly recommended if turning on --includeDeclarations.
• --excludeNotDocumented
  Do not include the code symbols, that don't have doc comments. This option is useful, if you want to document only small part of your symbols and do not show the remaining ones in the documentation.

TypeScript compiler

• --tsconfig <path/to/tsconfig.json>
  Specify a typescript config file that should be loaded. If not specified TypeDoc will look for 'tsconfig.json' in the current directory.

Theming

• --theme <default|minimal|path/to/theme>
  Specify the path to the theme that should be used.
• --name <Documentation title>
  Set the name of the project that will be used in the header of the template.
• --readme <path/to/readme|none>
  Path to the readme file that should be displayed on the index page. Pass none to disable the index page and start the documentation on the globals page.

Miscellaneous

• --listInvalidSymbolLinks
  Display the list of links that don't point to actual code symbols.
• --version
  Display the version number of TypeDoc.
• --help
  Display all TypeDoc options.
