What are @compodoc/compodoc's main functionalities?
Generate Documentation
This command generates documentation for your Angular project based on the TypeScript configuration file. It scans the project files and creates a static documentation site.
npx @compodoc/compodoc -p tsconfig.json
Serve Documentation
This command serves the generated documentation on a local server, allowing you to view it in your browser. It is useful for quickly accessing and navigating the documentation.
npx @compodoc/compodoc -s
Watch Mode
This command runs Compodoc in watch mode, automatically regenerating the documentation whenever there are changes in the source files. It is useful for continuous documentation updates during development.
npx @compodoc/compodoc -p tsconfig.json -w
Customizing Documentation
This command generates documentation with a custom theme. Compodoc supports various themes, allowing you to customize the look and feel of the generated documentation.
npx @compodoc/compodoc -p tsconfig.json --theme vagrant

typedoc
TypeDoc is a documentation generator for TypeScript projects. It generates documentation directly from the TypeScript source code, similar to how JSDoc works for JavaScript. Compared to @compodoc/compodoc, TypeDoc is more general-purpose and can be used with any TypeScript project, not just Angular.
jsdoc
JSDoc is a popular documentation generator for JavaScript projects. It can be used with TypeScript as well, but it requires additional configuration. Compared to @compodoc/compodoc, JSDoc is more flexible and can be used with a wider range of JavaScript and TypeScript projects, but it does not provide Angular-specific features.
