npm package version number Actions Status License

This TypeDoc plugin can force inclusion of specific symbols (variables) that are not exported, by making them fake exports.

Usage

(Assuming you have already installed TypeDoc (npm i -D typedoc) of version equal to or greater than v0.20.16 (released on 2021-01-17, this is the minimum required by this plugin. If you need to update the version, change TypeDoc's version number in package.json and rerun npm i / yarn))

Install the plugin with npm:

npm i -D typedoc-plugin-not-exported

Or with yarn:

yarn add -D typedoc-plugin-not-exported

In your code, tag the symbols (i.e. variables / types / interfaces / classes / object properties / class members etc.) that are not exported but you still want to include in the generated documentation.

The default tag is @notExported.

Example 1:

/**
 * My class
 * @notExported
 */
class MyClass {
  convert(str: string): string {
    return str
  }
}
export const me = new MyClass()

Example 2:

/**
 * @notExported
 */
type twoNumbers = [number, number]
/**
 * @notExported
 */
type threeNumbers = [number, number, number]

export type twoOrThreeNumbers = twoNumbers | threeNumbers
export function sum(ns: twoOrThreeNumbers): number {
  return ns.reduce((a, b) => a + b)
}

Then use the command as usual:

typedoc src/index.ts

Or, if you are using @internalDoNotUse tag instead of @notExported, run:

typedoc --includeTag internalDoNotUse src/index.ts

Links, Tips & Others

Originally from here.

CC0.

TypeDoc converts comments in TypeScript source code into rendered HTML documentation. See Guides, API & repo.

TypeDoc loads all plugins by default, if you want to specify plugins to load, use --plugin flag.

Those non-exported symbols (variables) you want to include in the doc, are not public and the @public tag shouldn't be applied. TypeDoc's @internal tag and typedoc-plugin-internal-external's @internal and @external are not made to solve the problem in question.

Nevertheless, if you want to include a symbol (variable) in the documentation, you should usually export it.
