Automatic documentation tools for React/typescript/javascript

[realJSOP]

I am searching for a tool that will create documentation for react/typescript/javascript code. So far, Docusaurus looks like a viable candidate, but does anyone have any recommendations? (Free is good, but not a requirement.)

Hugo[^] maybe. I'm still getting the hang of it but seems quite decent.

For my arrgh.js library I've used GitHub - manuthecoder/docjs: DocJS is a pure JS documentation generator[^] and I'm pretty happy with the result. I've documented the process in my article: Arrgh.js - Bringing LINQ to JavaScript[^] You can see the results in the full documentation: arrgh.js[^] This article is from 2017, so I'm not sure how much it has changed since then.

I found virtually nothing (google or youtube) about DocJS beyond the github page you cited. It's also been more than a year since the project has been updated.

I need somethin that will actually generate the mdx files for the source code. Hugo is like docusaurus where it only appears to help you generate a documentation web page. It doesn't appear to actually generate docs for source code.

When I search for "javascript documentation generator" it still keeps popping up, it's mentioned in practically all "top x best documentation tools" lists and it's still one of the most popular. Perhaps it's just a finished product that doesn't need constant updates? One website deemed it "most stable" as it's been around since 2011, which is longer than most other tools. I've found some other documentation generators that haven't been update for years (like ESDoc, which scored high on Google). Docusaurus looks good though, especially with the new v2, so I'd say go for it :thumbsup:

For C style languages, maybe Doxygen[^]. We used it eons ago for Delphi.
