Typedoc options

This plugin adds additional options that can be placed in your typedoc.json file.

Exclude Reference

You may want to exclude Reference, you can do so by adding

"excludeReferences": true

Links

You may want to specify additional links to appear in your header that don't point to reference documentation but related documentation for your platform.

"links": [{
    "label": "Guides",
    "url": "https://developers.google.com/actions/extending-the-assistant"
  }, {
    "label": "Reference",
    "url": "https://developers.google.com/actions/reference/nodejsv2/overview"
  }]

Outline

The left-hand side is a global navigation. This can be auto-generated by the Typedoc engine and theme, or it can be manually specified by including an object in your options. You provide a custom navigation with links that point to modules/{object value}.html.

"outline": [{
    "Actions SDK": {
      "Overview": "actionssdk",
      "api/v2": "actionssdk_api_v2"
    },
    "Dialogflow": {
      "Overview": "dialogflow",
      "api/v1": "dialogflow_api_v1",
      "api/v2": "dialogflow_api_v2"
    }
  }]

Search

Not all of the files in the reference documentation may be useful for developers. You can select certain pages to be high priority. These will retain the icon, along with displaying a subtitle and a kind (like class or interface). Items not included will be deprioritized, with smaller text.

"search": [{
    "name": "dialogflow.DialogflowConversation.data",
    "subtitle": "Persistent data"
  }, {
    "name": "conversation/response.BasicCard",
    "subtitle": "Rich response"
  }, {
    "name": "conversation/response.BasicCardOptions",
    "subtitle": "Rich response"
  }]

Link to source

You can set up links to your source code under each property in the documentation.

"source": [{
  "path": "https://github.com/loopingz/webda.io/blob/master/src/",
  "line": "L"
}]

For a particular file and line, this can take you to a valid GitHub source for the project.
