TypeDoc

Documentation generator for TypeScript projects.

Installation

TypeDoc runs on Node.js and is available as an NPM package. You can install TypeDoc in your project's directory as usual:

$ npm install typedoc --save-dev

Like the TypeScript compiler, TypeDoc comes with a binary that can be called from anywhere if you install TypeDoc as a global module. The name of the executable is typedoc.

$ npm install typedoc --global
$ typedoc

Preview

If you want to know what a documentation created with TypeDoc looks like, head over to the homepage of the project. We've setup examples demonstrating the two default themes shipped with the package:

http://typedoc.io/themes/default
http://typedoc.io/themes/minimal

Usage

Shell

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:

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

Arguments

• --out <path/to/documentation/>
  Specifies the location the documentation should be written to.

Source file handling

• --exclude <pattern>
  Exclude files by the given pattern when a path is provided as source
• --includeDeclarations
  Turn on parsing of .d.ts declaration files.
• --externalPattern <pattern>
  Define a pattern for files that should be considered being external.
• --excludeExternals
  Prevent externally resolved TypeScript files from being documented.

TypeScript compiler

• --module <commonjs or amd>
  Specify module code generation: "commonjs" or "amd"
• --target <ES3 or ES5>
  Specify ECMAScript target version: "ES3" (default), or "ES5"

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.
• --hideGenerator
  Do not print the TypeDoc link at the end of the page.
• --gaID
  Set the Google Analytics tracking ID and activate tracking code.
• --gaSite <site>
  Set the site name for Google Analytics. Defaults to auto
