# @loopback/tsdocs
This module provides [API docs](https://github.com/Microsoft/tsdoc) generation
for `@loopback/*` packages.
It's built on top of https://api-extractor.com/:
- https://github.com/Microsoft/web-build-tools/tree/master/apps/api-extractor
- https://github.com/Microsoft/web-build-tools/tree/master/apps/api-documenter
## Basic Use
### Build api reports and doc models
```sh
npm run extract-apidocs -- --report
```
The command above will traverse all TypeScript packages in the monorepo and run
`api-extractor` to generate api reports and doc models into
`loopback-next/docs/apidocs`:
- `reports`: api reports
- `reports-temp`: temporary api reports
- `models`: doc models
### Generate api docs as markdown files
```sh
npm run document-apidocs
```
It runs `api-documenter` to generate markdown files into
`loopback-next/docs/site/apidocs`.
### Update api docs for Jekyll site
```sh
npm run update-apidocs
```
It adds Jekyll metadata to markdown files in `loopback-next/docs/site/apidocs`
and generates `loopback-next/docs/site/apidocs/index.md` as the index page.
To run all steps together:
```sh
npm run build:tsdocs
```
## Installation
```sh
npm install --save @loopback/tsdocs
```
