typedoc-plugin-folder-modules

What

A plugin for Typedoc

This plugin allows you to document your modules by the name of the 'modulefolders'.

The modules are discovered by the tag '.module' of the foldername.

This plugin is thankfully inspired by, and based on, https://github.com/asgerjensen/typedoc-plugin-external-module-map , but does not require a regex. And it runs recursively through all your folders and finds every module specified by the 'foldername.module'

Suppose you have

module1.module/index.ts
module1.module/otherfiles.ts
module1.module/module2.module/index.ts
module1.module/module2.module/otherfiles.ts

Typedoc will create a tree structure of the modules. The index.ts files are used to document the module of the folder

• module1
• • otherfiles
• • module2
• • • otherfiles

Using

The Plugin will automaticly be attached to typedoc if you install it the way described above
