TS API Bindings

The Typescript definitions for the Fig API.

Note: The protobuf definitions are updated automatically whenever withfig/proto-api is changed.

Documenting the API

We use TSDocs to comment the exported namespaces of the API.

See docs-generators/fig-api folder in public-site-nextjs repo for reference.

Supported TSDoc tags and custom TSDoc tags

• @param: The params of an exported function, the format MUST be @param <name of the param> <some description>. It can be provided multiple times for different params.

  /**
   * @param notification some description for the notification param
   */
  export function subscribe(notification) { }

• @returns: An explanation of what is returned by an exported function.
• @remarks: Further details about the implementation of the method, use cases...etc. This data will appear in the Discussion section.
• @example: Provide examples about the usage of the API object. It is repeatable.
• @prop: Provide a description for one property of the exported object, the format MUST be @prop <name of the property> - <some description>. It can be provided multiple times for different properties.

  /**
   * @prop subscribe - a description
   * @prop unsubscribe - a description
   */
  export const didChange = {
    subscribe: (notification) => { },
    unsubscribe: (notification) => { }
  } 

• @excluded: To exclude some symbol from the docs. It should not be used.
• @deprecated: Mark an API as deprecated providing an optional message about the deprecation.

  /**
   * @deprecated This message is optional
   */
  export const didChange = {
    subscribe: (notification) => { },
  } 

What will appear in the documentation?

Our API bindings export a list of named namespace objects each one exporting a group of Symbols. In our docs file we document each of the exported symbols grouped according to their namespace.
