tsdocs.dev

TSDocs.dev is a service that lets you browse type reference documentation for Javascript packages.

It works even with packages that aren't written in Typescript (sourced from DefinitelyTyped) or when packages re-export types from other packages.

Its depends heavily on a customized version of typedoc for generating API docs documentation.

Writing good documentation for your library

tsdocs.dev extracts documentation from the type definitions that ships with libraries. In case a type definition is unavailable, it searches DefinitelyTyped for the closest equivalent.

For an example, see documentation for d3 — https://tsdocs.dev/docs/d3/7.8.5/classes/FormatSpecifier.html

Internally tsdocs.dev uses a customized version of typedoc to parse and render documentation, which works on docstrings and markdown https://typedoc.org/guides/doccomments/
