Making this PR against
core-rewritefor cleaner diffs, but it should targetv8once #2858 is merged.We can have mkdocs auto-generate plugin parameter tables to reduce some redundancy, prevent mismatches, and – by moving extended parameter descriptions into source files – improve in-editor code hints 🎉
This setup uses the
mkdocs-macrosplugin and TypeDoc under the hood: When writing{{ plugin_parameters('html-keyboard-response') }}in a plugin's documentation, mkdocs invokes a python function that uses TypeDoc to parse the plugin'sindex.ts, retrieving a JSON representation which it uses to generate and return the markdown table ✨To try it, check out the PR, run
npm install,poetry installandnpm run docs:preview. Thehtml-keyboard-response.mddocs look the same, but were generated on-the-fly 👍 Editingpackages/plugin-html-keyboard-response/src/index.tsrebuilds the documentation.
