typedoc 0.24.0

v0.24.0

on Node.js NPM

Breaking Changes

• @link, @linkcode and @linkplain tags will now be resolved with TypeScript's link resolution by default. The useTsLinkResolution option
  can be used to turn this behavior off, but be aware that doing so will mean your links will be resolved differently by editor tooling and TypeDoc.
• TypeDoc will no longer automatically load plugins from node_modules. Specify the --plugin option to indicate which modules should be loaded.
• The packages entry point strategy will now run TypeDoc in each provided package directory and then merge the results together.
  The previous packages strategy has been preserved under legacy-packages and will be removed in 0.25. If the new strategy does not work
  for your use case, please open an issue.
• Removed --logger option, to disable all logging, set the logLevel option to none.
• Dropped support for legacy [[link]]s, removed deprecated Reflection.findReflectionByName.
• Added @overload to default ignored tags.

API Breaking Changes

• The label property on Reflection has moved to Comment.
• The default value of the out option has been changed from "" to "./docs", #2195.
• Renamed DeclarationReflection#version to DeclarationReflection#projectVersion to match property on ProjectReflection.
• Removed unused Reflection#originalName.
• Removed Reflection#kindString, use ReflectionKind.singularString(reflection.kind) or ReflectionKind.pluralString(reflection.kind) instead.
• The named-tuple-member and template-literal type kind have been replaced with namedTupleMember and templateLiteral, #2100.
• Properties related to rendering are no longer stored on Reflection, including url, anchor, hasOwnDocument, and cssClasses.
• Application.bootstrap will no longer load plugins. If you want to load plugins, use Application.bootstrapWithPlugins instead, #1635.
• The options passed to Application.bootstrap will now be applied both before and after reading options files, which may cause a change in configuration
  if using a custom script to run TypeDoc that includes some options, but other options are set in config files.
• Moved sources property previously declared on base Reflection class to DeclarationReflection and SignatureReflection.
• Moved relevanceBoost from ContainerReflection to DeclarationReflection since setting it on the parent class has no effect.
• Removed internal ReferenceType.getSymbol, reference types no longer reference the ts.Symbol to enable generation from serialized JSON.
• OptionsReader.priority has been renamed to OptionsReader.order to more accurately reflect how it works.
• ReferenceTypes which point to type parameters will now always be intentionally broken since they were never linked and should not be warned about when validating exports.
• ReferenceTypes now longer include an id property for their target. They now instead include a target property.
• Removed Renderer.addExternalSymbolResolver, use Converter.addExternalSymbolResolver instead.
• Removed CallbackLogger.
• Removed SerializeEventData from serialization events.
• A PageEvent is now required for getRenderContext. If caching the context object, page must be updated when getRenderContext is called.
• PageEvent no longer includes the template property. The Theme.render method is now expected to take the template to render the page with as its second argument.
• Removed secondaryNavigation member on DefaultThemeRenderContext.
• Renamed navigation to sidebar on DefaultThemeRenderContext and navigation.begin/navigation.end hooks to sidebar.begin/sidebar.end.

Features

• Added --useTsLinkResolution option (on by default) which tells TypeDoc to use TypeScript's @link resolution.
• Added --jsDocCompatibility option (on by default) which controls TypeDoc's automatic detection of code blocks in @example and @default tags.
• Reworked default theme navigation to add support for a page table of contents, #1478, #2189.
• Added support for @interface on type aliases to tell TypeDoc to convert the fully resolved type as an interface, #1519
• Added support for @namespace on variable declarations to tell TypeDoc to convert the variable as a namespace, #2055.
• Added support for @prop/@property to specify documentation for a child property of a symbol, intended for use with @interface.
• TypeDoc will now produce more informative error messages for options which cannot be set from the cli, #2022.
• TypeDoc will now attempt to guess what option you may have meant if given an invalid option name.
• Plugins may now return a Promise<void> from their load function, #185.
• TypeDoc now supports plugins written with ESM, #1635.
• Added Renderer.preRenderAsyncJobs and Renderer.postRenderAsyncJobs, which may be used by plugins to perform async processing for rendering, #185.
  Note: Conversion is still intentionally a synchronous process to ensure stability of converted projects between runs.
• TypeDoc options may now be set under the typedocOptions key in package.json, #2112.
• Added --cacheBust option to tell TypeDoc to include include the generation time in files, #2124.
• Added --excludeReferences option to tell TypeDoc to omit re-exports of a symbol already included from the documentation.
• Introduced new render hooks pageSidebar.begin and pageSidebar.end.

Bug Fixes

• TypeDoc will now ignore package.json files not containing a name field, #2190.
• Fixed @inheritDoc on signatures (functions, methods, constructors, getters, setters) being unable to inherit from a non-signature.
• Interfaces/classes created via extending a module will no longer contain variables/functions where the member should have been converted as properties/methods, #2150.
• TypeDoc will now ignore a leading v in versions, #2212.
• Category titles now render with the same format in the page index and heading title, #2196.
• Fixed crash when using typeof on a reference with type arguments, #2220.
• Fixed broken anchor links generated to signatures nested within objects.
