$ npm install typedoc
Documentation generator for TypeScript projects.
For more detailed documentation, the changelog, and TypeDoc documentation rendered with TypeDoc, see https://typedoc.org.
TypeDoc runs on Node.js and is available as a NPM package.
npm install typedoc --save-dev
To generate documentation TypeDoc needs to know your project entry point, and TypeScript
compiler options. It will automatically try to find your tsconfig.json
file, so you can
just specify the entry point of your library:
typedoc src/index.ts
If you have multiple entry points, specify each of them.
typedoc package1/index.ts package2/index.ts
If you specify a directory, TypeDoc will use the entryPointStrategy
option to determine how to resolve it.
By default, TypeDoc will search for a file called index
under the directory.
If your codebase is comprised of one or more npm packages, you can pass the paths to these
packages and TypeDoc will attempt to determine entry points based on package.json
's main
property (with default value index.js
) and if it wasn't found, based on types
property.
If any of the packages given are the root of an npm Workspace
or a Yarn Workspace TypeDoc will find all
the workspaces
defined in the package.json
. In order to find your entry points, TypeDoc requires
either that you turn on sourcemaps so that it can discover the original TS file, or that you
specify "typedocMain": "src/index.ts"
to explicitly state where the package entry point is.
Supports wildcard paths in the same fashion as those found in npm or Yarn workspaces.
typedoc --entryPointStrategy packages .
typedoc --entryPointStrategy packages .
This can be useful if you do not want all your workspaces to be processed.
Accepts the same paths as would go in the package.json
's workspaces
# Note the single quotes prevent shell wildcard expansion, allowing typedoc to do the expansion
typedoc --entryPointStrategy packages a-package 'some-more-packages/*' 'some-other-packages/*'
