@jchoelt/apidoc-plugin-ts v2.3.0

apidoc-plugin-ts

A plugin for apidoc that injects params like @apiSuccess and @apiParam from TypeScript interfaces. Supports extended and nested interfaces.

Getting started

npm install --save-dev apidoc @jchoelt/apidoc-plugin-ts

yarn add -D apidoc @jchoelt/apidoc-plugin-ts

The following custom api-doc params are exposed:

• @apiParamInterface
• @apiQueryInterface
• @apiBodyInterface
• @apiSuccessInterface
• @apiSuccess[XYZ]Interface - when XYZ is the response HTTP status code (example 404), which can be in the 5xx form (xx instead of the last 2 digits).

@CUSTOM_PARAM (optional path to definitions file) {INTERFACE_NAME}

Example

Given the following interface:

// filename: ./employers.ts

export interface Employer {

  /**
   * Employer job title
   */
  jobTitle: string;

  /**
   * Employer personal details
   */
  personalDetails: {
    name: string;
    age: number;
  }

  /**
   * This field is for internal use.
   * @private
   */
  privateDetails: string;
}

and the following custom param:

@apiSuccessInterface (./employers.ts) {Person}

under the hood this would transpile to:

@apiSuccess {String} jobTitle Job title
@apiSuccess {Object} personalDetails Employer personal details
@apiSuccess {String} personalDetails.name
@apiSuccess {Number} personalDetails.age

Note if the Person interface is defined in the same file then you can drop the path:

@apiSuccessInterface {Person}

You can add @private or @ignore to the field documentation to omit it from the output.
