🤷‍♀️ Typedoc Plugin: Missing Check 🤷‍♂️

TypeDoc Plugin to check if typescript documentation is empty or missing.

A plugin for TypeDoc that check TypeScript API documentation actually exists and throws errors when it is accidentally forgotten.

Installation

npm install --save-dev typedoc typedoc-plugin-missing-check

Usage

Usage is the same as documented at TypeDoc.

typedoc src/

# Check only public or higher (default).
typedoc --missing-check-level public src/

# Check only protected and public.
typedoc --missing-check-level protected src/

# Check all.
typedoc --missing-check-level private src/

# Disable missingness checks.
typedoc --missing-check-disabled src/

# Enable more verbose error messages.
typedoc --missing-check-verbose src/

These options can also be configured in your typedoc.json or tsconfig.json like so:

typedoc.json

{
    "missing-check-disabled": false,
    "missing-check-verbose": false,
    "missing-check-level": "public"
}

tsconfig.json

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        ...
    },
    "typedocOptions": {
        "missing-check-disabled": false,
        "missing-check-verbose": false,
        "missing-check-level": "public"
    }    
}
