ts-readme-generator

Generate Readme from TypeScript

Small tool to automatically generate your API documentation straight into your readme.md from your TypeScript typings.

Note: This is very much a work in progress. I'm currently going through my projects one by one and replacing the API docs with generated ones, improving this module as I go. Don't expect it to work with most modules just yet.

Installation

npm install --global ts-readme-generator

Usage

Make sure that your readme.md contains a ## API section (or ## Props if it's a React module), then simply run the command to update your Readme file from the TypeScript definitions.

ts-readme-generator

You can also run the script in "check mode" to make it exit with a non-zero status if the documentation isn't up to date.

ts-readme-generator --check
