Https://github.com/slatedocs/slate this ! Big company use it ( stripe etc ). Source: about 1 year ago

The second most common question being "What framework does Stripe use to build their documentation?" and the answer has unfortunately always been "They use a custom setup they built themselves and isn't available." － so then Slate gets brought up as a suitable replacement.

DocuAPI is a multilingual API documentation theme for Hugo created and maintained by Bjørn Erik Pedersen, the lead maintainer and co-creator of Hugo itself. It’s built on top of the Slate API docs generator, which itself was inspired by Stripe’s and PayPal’s API docs. The JavaScript section of DocuAPI has been rewritten from Jquery to AlpineJS.​​​​​​. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

I've used Slate to document APIs which similarly will produce a local website. You can host that privately or there's built in support to push to github pages if you're hosting it in a github repo. The documentation itself is all written in markdown and managed separate from your API code. Source: almost 2 years ago

We used to use Slate - https://github.com/slatedocs/slate for our APIs in my previous job. That was pretty neat. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

Finally, JSDoc can be used to generate documentation for your code using tools like JSDoc itself and TypeDoc. These tools generate HTML or Markdown documentation based on your JSDoc annotations, making it easier for others to understand how your code works and how to use it. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

Since you're using TypeScript, use TypeDoc. Source: about 1 year ago

I was thinking of using something like https://typedoc.org to do it, do you have experience with this sort of tools? Source: about 1 year ago

JSDoc is a terrible standard. I would rather go for TypeScript + TSDoc, then use TypDoc to generate the actual documentation based on TS typings. Alternatively, you can go for Vue Styleguidist. It's an excellent tool, but, opposite to TSDoc it's not a standard, it's just a tool. Source: over 1 year ago

API docs can be generated from docblocks the format of which will depend on the language in question e.g. TS = TypeDoc (parses TSdoc). Source: over 1 year ago
