webpack-doc-kit

Automated TypeScript API documentation generator for webpack. Extracts type definitions from webpack's types.d.ts and produces Markdown and HTML documentation, deployed to GitHub Pages.

How It Works

1. TypeDoc reads webpack's TypeScript type definitions
2. Custom plugins process the output (namespace merging, type mapping, themed rendering)
3. @node-core/doc-kit converts Markdown to HTML
4. GitHub Actions deploys the result to GitHub Pages

Webpack Version Tracking

The HEAD_COMMIT file pins the exact webpack/webpack commit used for doc generation. A scheduled GitHub Action runs every 24 hours to:

1. Fetch the latest webpack main branch HEAD
2. Update HEAD_COMMIT
3. Regenerate documentation
4. Push the changes to this repository

This ensures documentation stays in sync with upstream webpack without manual intervention.

Contributing

When making changes to documentation generation (plugins, generate-md.mjs, tsconfig.json), ensure the docs can still be generated successfully. CI will verify this on every pull request.
