TypeDoc API Docs

Generate comprehensive API documentation from TypeScript source code using TypeDoc.

Claude Code Cursor Copilot

Overview

TypeDoc generates API documentation directly from TypeScript source code and TSDoc comments. AI coding agents can add TSDoc comments to TypeScript code and configure TypeDoc to produce comprehensive, navigable API reference sites.

Agents can analyze TypeScript interfaces, classes, functions, and type aliases to generate accurate documentation. They understand generics, union types, conditional types, and other advanced TypeScript features, producing documentation that reflects the full type system.

TypeDoc supports custom themes, plugins, and output formats including HTML and JSON. Teams can integrate TypeDoc into their CI pipeline, with AI agents ensuring that all public APIs are properly documented before deployment.
