Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

TypeDoc plugin to resolve import target and inject import code block

Readme

typedoc-plugin-import-target

Table of contents

🍵 Introduction

This TypeDoc plugin allows you to map your exported module members to your package.json exports field. It adds support for @importTarget JSDoc tag to use in combination with @module tag.

Just add tag to the top-level JSDoc comment:

// foo.js

/**
 * @module
 * @importTarget ./foo
 */

export class Foo {}

export function foo () {}

The exported members Foo and foo will have auto-injected import code block in their description like:

```js
import { Foo } from 'example/foo'
```

Note that the exported members reflections will have the _importTarget property set. See Reflection type below.

🚀 Get started

npm install -D typedoc-plugin-import-target

Add the plugin in your typedoc.config.js file:

// typedoc.config.js

export default {
  entryPoints: [
    './src/index.ts'
  ],
  plugin: [
    'typedoc-plugin-import-target'
  ]
}

Let's run the typedoc command!

⚙️ Options

This plugin supports some options. See PluginOptions type below.

For example, in your typedoc.config.js file:

// typedoc.config.js

/**
 * @type {import('typedoc').TypeDocOptions & import('typedoc-plugin-import-target').PluginOptions}
 */
export default {
  entryPoints: [
    './src/index.ts'
  ],
  plugin: [
    'typedoc-plugin-import-target'
  ],
  /**
   * typedoc-plugin-import-target options
   */
  importTarget: {
    // Force "ts" language for code blocks
    codeBlockLang: 'ts',
    // Ignore package.json "exports" field
    ignorePackageExports: true,
    // Write your own injection logic
    inject (reflection, name, importTarget, lang) {
      // ...
    }
  }
}

💡 You don't need to add "@importTarget" to TypeDoc blockTags option

🧬 Types

PluginOptions

export interface PluginOptions {
  /**
   * typedoc-plugin-import-target specific options.
   */
  importTarget?: {
    /**
     * The language to use in markdown code blocks.
     * Note that this option **does not affect** code blocks for any
     * type reflection (always "ts"). Default: `js`
     */
    codeBlockLang?: 'js' | 'ts'
    /**
     * Ignore package.json "exports" field. Default: `false`
     */
    ignorePackageExports?: boolean
    /**
     * Provide your own function to inject import code block
     * @param reflection - The reflection
     * @param name - The exported member name
     * @param lang - The code block language
     */
    inject?: (reflection: Reflection, name: string, importTarget: string, lang?: string) => void
  }
}

Reflection

export interface Reflection extends TypeDoc.Reflection {
  /**
   * The resolved import target as string
   */
  _importTarget?: string
}

🧰 TSDoc configuration

If you use a tsdoc.json configuration file in your project, you can extend your own config with this plugin TSDoc config file:

// tsdoc.json
{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/tsdoc/v0/tsdoc.schema.json",
  "extends": [
    "@microsoft/api-extractor/extends/tsdoc-base.json",
    "typedoc/tsdoc.json",
    "typedoc-plugin-import-target/extends/tsdoc.json"
  ]
}
