Status & ember-cli-typescript compatibility

[buschtoens]

The initial-implementation branch is not compatible with the latest ember-cli-typescript@beta any more.

I would like to know your opinion regarding the best way forward. Do you think it is worthwhile to fix this docs generator, when ember-cli-typscript@2 is released?

I've also submitted ember-learn/ember-cli-addon-docs-esdoc#7 to enable crude TS support via ember-cli-addon-docs-esdoc.

I guess that in the end we'll want build ember-cli-addon-docs-tsdoc or some docs generator that is built on tsdoc, as tsdoc itself seems to be very minimal in scope.

Is there any new updates going on in this? Looking forward to use generate Docs for TS.

The initial-implementation branch is compatible with ember-cli-typescript@2 and works well enough with the one project I've been playing with it with. You're welcome to try your luck with that branch, but I don't think we're going to want to commit to supporting this project in the long term. In fact, now that it's not so tightly bound to the implementation of ember-cli-typescript itself, it may make sense to transfer this repo out of the typed-ember org.

Longer term I suspect tsdoc or perhaps code-to-json will prove to be a better fit for a TypeScript-oriented AddonDocs plugin.

Update: I did go ahead and transfer this to my personal org, and I'll update the README with a big "you probably don't want to use this" disclaimer.
