Pete Bacon Darwin fbe6871a94 build(aio): add github links to API doc members (#24000)
This change adds Github edit and view links to methods
and decorator options.

It is possible to add these to properties also but the
UI is rather tight as these are displayed in a table.

This folder contains the dgeni templates that are used to generate the API docs

Generally there is a template for each docType. Templates can extend and/or include other templates. Templates can also import macros from other template files.

Template inheritance

When extending a template, parent must declare blocks that can be overridden by the child. The template extension hierarchy looks like this (with declared blocks in parentheses):

  • layout/base.template.html (base)
    • module.template.html
    • layout/api-base.template.html (jumpNav, jumpNavLinks, whatItDoes, infoBar, securityConsiderations, deprecationNotes, howToUse, details)
      • class.template.html
        • directive.template.html
        • enum.template.html
      • var.template.html
        • const.template.html
        • let.template.html
      • decorator.template.html
      • function.template.html
      • interface.template.html
        • type-alias.template.html
      • pipe.template.html

Doc Properties

It is useful to know what properties are available on each doc type when working with the templates. The typescript Dgeni package is now written in TypeScript and there is a class for each of the types of API document. See https://github.com/angular/dgeni-packages/tree/master/typescript/src/api-doc-types. This is a good place to go to see what properties you can use in the templates.
