Generating Documentation for TypeScript Projects
This article discusses using TypeScript to generate documentation from source code alone. It explains how TypeScript can help developers catch errors early on and provides a comparison between JSDoc and TypeScript annotations. The author also shares their experience with using TypeDoc, a tool for generating documentation from TypeScript projects, and demonstrates how it can be used to create reference material that is always in sync with the codebase. Additionally, the article suggests that TypeScript can do more than just API references and provides an example of linking source code within getting-started documentation. The author plans to open-source their tools for generating documentation and theme in the near future.
