Watch Mode

Watching files is supported by passing in the watch: true option see https://typedoc.org/guides/options/#watch .

Targetting the option in development mode only can be achieved using Node.js Environment Variables:

package.json


{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "TYPEDOC_WATCH=true docusaurus start",
    "build": "TYPEDOC_WATCH=false docusaurus build"
  }
}

docusaurus.config.js


module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    [
      'docusaurus-plugin-typedoc',
      {
        entryPoints: ['../src/index.ts'],
        tsconfig: '../tsconfig.json',
        watch: process.env.TYPEDOC_WATCH,
      },
    ],
  ],
};
