Typedoc: Missing documentation with library mode

[Gerrit0]

in our typescript library repo, we are experimenting with typedoc to generate api documentation.
as typedoc@next, i could do mode="library", which i am guessing is a best mode for us as its a web library.
we have both .ts and .tsx files that exposes modules and react-components to our users.
when i do :
mode="library", .tsx files are ignored.
mode="modules" those are parsed and .tsx components are documented.

note : i'm not sure whether it's a bug or not.

my current ts config

"compilerOptions":{
"jsx": "react",
... other ts config's
...
"typedocOptions": {
    "inputFiles": [
      "src/clients",
      "src/components",
      "src/models"
    ],
    "mode": "modules",
    "out": "../docs/ts-docs",
    "exclude": [
      "**/*+(**Impl|**PostCommand|**WsCommand|**index).ts",
      "**/decoders/*",
      "**/*+(**Utils).ts"
    ],
    "jsx": "react",
    "excludePrivate": true,
    "plugin" : "typedoc-plugin-external-module-map",
    "external-modulemap" : ".*\/(clients|components|models)\/",
    "categorizeByGroup": true,
    "categoryOrder": [
      "Services",
      "Agent-Service",
      "Others"
    ]
  }
}

Pulling this into its own issue to avoid duplicate discussion in the tracking issue.

Could you link to a repo which reproduces this issue? I took a quick look at the code where I'd expect the bug to show up, and both places look correct.

Hi, i have created a similar minimal setup.
https://github.com/Manish3323/typedoc-repro/

Thanks in advance.

I can't seem to reproduce this... I pulled down your repo, installed, ran npx typedoc, and got the following output:

C:\Users\gtbir\Documents\GitHub\typedoc-repro [main ≡ +0 ~1 -0 !]> npx typedoc
Loaded plugin C:\Users\gtbir\Documents\GitHub\typedoc-repro\node_modules\typedoc-plugin-external-module-map

(The changed file is package-lock.json - my version of npm added the package name, no other changes)

Then, when opening up the documentation, I see this:

i see you marked this issue as bug.. but after reading your comment.. i m bit confused whether it is bug or i have some kind of dependency issue in my setup..
Thanks

[Gerrit0]

I marked it as a bug because I noticed it didn't have any labels, and needed one to be easier to find. I suspect it's an issue with your setup, and not actually a bug though.

[Manish3323]

i got it working with typedoc@next
however it wasn't setup related but how i define the export inside my .tsx file.
it generates the documentation for react component if i make it inline like this
export default function Component(props: Props){}
earlier i had like this

function Component(props: Props){}
export default Component

Hmmm... I wonder if this is the same bug as #1382 then, will be looking into it this weekend, and most likely fixing on the @beta release.

This is fixed + released in [email protected]

bug still kindof happens in 0.20.1 - tsx files are there, but jsdoc are ignored
