TypeDoc does not understand TypeScript static blocks. Static blocks were added to TypeScript 4.4. I am using TypeDoc 0.22.17 which claims to support TypeScript versions 4.0 through 4.7 https://typedoc.org/guides/installation/
Is there something else I need to do to make TypeDoc understand static blocks in TypeScript?
For example of problem, here is file "src/hello.js":
/**
* My class
*/
export class HelloWorld {
constructor() {
console.log("Hello World");
}
static {
new HelloWorld();
}
}
... and "tsconfig.json":
{
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "ES2020",
"target": "ES6",
"sourceMap": true,
"outDir": "build",
},
"include": [
"src/**/*"
],
}
When I run "npx typedoc -out html src/hello.ts" I get the following error messages:
Error: src/hello.ts:9:11 - error TS1146: Declaration expected.
9 static {
Error: src/hello.ts:9:12 - error TS1005: ';' expected.
9 static {
~
Error: src/hello.ts:12:1 - error TS1128: Declaration or statement expected.
12 }
As Gerrit0 wrote, you need to check the version of TypeDoc is as expected and TypeDoc's version of TypeScript is as expected too. The command "npx typedoc --version" prints both versions.
