Critical Fix: Module System

​

New Features

​

Type-Safe Link Components

• RefLink & PageLink - Components with dual validation (compile-time + runtime)
  • IDE autocomplete: Auto-generates ValidRefs.d.ts and ValidPages.d.ts with TypeScript union types
  • Compile-time safety: Type-safe target selection with IntelliSense
  • Runtime validation: Highlights broken links with broken-link CSS class
  • Visual feedback: Invalid links display with title tooltip for easy debugging
  • SSR-safe: Validation only runs client-side

​

TypeInfo Generation System

• Auto-generates TypeInfo.jsx containing structured type information for all API items
  • Provides TypeTree-compatible data with IDE autocomplete support
  • Includes TypeScript declaration file (TypeInfo.d.ts) for VSCode IntelliSense
  • Enables documentation authors to reference type information programmatically in MDX files
  • Supports nested property analysis for complex object types

​

New Components

• Preview Component - Showcase documentation examples with style
  • Bordered container with customizable title header
  • Dark mode support with Tailwind CSS theming
  • Code block aesthetic styling
  • Perfect for wrapping TypeTree and other component demonstrations
• Feature Component - Highlight features in documentation
  • Icon support with customizable styling
  • Card grid layouts
  • Flexible content organization

​

New CLI Commands

• coverage command - Calculate TSDoc coverage with filtering, grouping, and threshold support
  • Reports by file, module, or API kind
  • Set minimum coverage requirements
  • Track documentation completeness

• lint command - Check documentation quality and find issues
  • Validates TSDoc comments
  • Finds broken references
  • Checks for missing documentation

​

Major Improvements

​

Enhanced CLI Experience

• Verbose Mode - Added --verbose/-v flag to control detailed output
  • Component installation shows summary by default
  • Detailed per-file logs only in verbose mode
  • Cleaner output for most use cases
• Improved Linting - Inverted --no-lint to --lint flag
  • Warnings disabled by default (errors always shown)
  • Opt-in to see API Extractor warnings
  • Less noisy output during generation
• Better Warning Display
  • File location (file:line:column) added to all warnings
  • Warnings grouped by source file
  • Color-coded syntax highlighting (Nord theme)
  • Line numbers, identifiers, and TSDoc tags highlighted
  • Auto-wraps to terminal width
• New config Command - Replaces deprecated show config
  • show stats → use coverage instead
  • show config → use config instead
  • Deprecated commands still work with warnings

​

Code Quality

• Reusable Issue Display - Created IssueDisplayUtils for consistent formatting
• Enhanced Lint Command - Collects warnings from all sources:
  • API Extractor (TSDoc syntax, invalid tags, reference errors)
  • API Model analysis (missing docs, params, returns)
  • ESLint with tsdoc-plugin (when installed)
• Improved Snippets - Better type checking and generation
• Refactored Services - Extracted common command subtasks for better maintainability

​

Documentation & Validation

• Node Validation - Added validation to prevent invalid node creation:
  • DocTable: Rejects empty header arrays
  • DocExpandable: Rejects empty titles
  • Better error messages
• Fixed TSDoc Registration - Corrected package name (mint-tsdocs instead of @micrososft/mint-tsdocs)
• Comprehensive JSDoc - Added detailed documentation to:
  • All markdown emitter methods
  • Custom node classes
  • Validation requirements

​

Internal Changes

• Switched from picocolors to chalk for true color (24-bit RGB) support
• Simplified filename sanitization logic (~2x faster)
• Removed excessive debug logging
• Better code organization with extracted helper methods

​

• Mintlify-compatible MDX output with frontmatter
• LiquidJS-based template system with customization support
• Navigation integration with docs.json
• Custom TSDoc nodes for tables, headings, note boxes, and expandables
• Caching system for type analysis and API resolution
• CLI with init, generate, and customize commands
