TSDocs.dev: type docs for any JavaScript library

1. DocFX

   1 18 4,327 9.5 C#

   Static site generator for .NET API documentation.

   

   This is a better looking version of what Java and C# have had for a long time (kudos to the author for that!), is that the inspiration for this tool?

   https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/window...

   https://dotnet.github.io/docfx/

   I saw the author mentioned in another comment that they found themselves peeping inside type declaration files "too often". While I do often use sites generated by the above tools to discover new API's that suit my needs, diving into the actual code using a good decompiler is still my first move, as it is often cheaper than seeking out the documentation online, and it will show me the actual implementation as well. So in my opinion there is no shame in looking inside the declaration files!

2. InfluxDB

   www.influxdata.com featured

3. jQuery

   2 184 59,558 8.1 JavaScript

   jQuery JavaScript Library

   

   Great reference.

   To this date, one of the best well-documented code is jQuery: https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/main/src/core/init.js

   I learned a lot from looking into the code.

4. tsdocs

   3 1 1,132 8.2 TypeScript

   Browse type documentation for JS libraries

   

   Yeah, this is known, thanks! https://github.com/pastelsky/tsdocs/issues/9

5. rust

   4 2,881 106,021 10.0 Rust

   Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

   

6. docs.rs

   5 144 1,077 9.5 Rust

   crates.io documentation generator

   

   Looks like a great initiative – I wish there was a reliable TS/JS equivalent of https://docs.rs (even considering rustdoc's deficiencies[1]).

   I went through this exercise recently and so far my experience with trying to produce documentation from a somewhat convoluted TS codebase[2] has been disappointing. I would claim it's a consequence of the library's public (user-facing) API substantially differing from how the actual implementation is structured.

   Typedoc produces bad results for that codebase so sphinx-js, which I wanted to use, doesn't have much to work with. I ultimately documented things by hand, for now, the way the API is meant to be used by the user.
