typedoc-plugin-include-example

Include code examples in your typedoc documentations with powerful bracket syntax for line selection.

Installation

$ npm install --save-dev typedoc-plugin-include-example

Usage

Write your example in a *.example.ts file.

// greet.example.ts

import { greet } from "./greet.js";
greet(); // Prints greetings

Add the @includeExample tag to the actual code.

// greet.ts

/**
 * Says hello !
 *
 * @includeExample
 */
export function greet() {
  console.log("Hello there.");
}

Then generate your documentation using typedoc using this plugin.

$ npx typedoc --plugin typedoc-plugin-include-example

Line Selection

Control which lines to include with bracket syntax:

/**
 * @includeExample greet.example.ts                 // Include entire file
 * @includeExample greet.example.ts[5]              // Include line 5 only
 * @includeExample greet.example.ts[2:8]            // Include lines 2-8
 * @includeExample greet.example.ts[2:5,10,15:20]   // Multiple selections
