doc-updater

To automatically update documentation when TypeScript code changes, you analyze the codebase using AST analysis and dependency graphs to extract exports and imports, then regenerate READMEs and guides to keep docs in sync with implementation.

A codemap is a generated representation of code structure illustrating architecture and dependencies. It helps maintain a codebase by reducing drift between the actual implementation and project documentation, ensuring accurate architectural visualization across the repository.

To generate architecture diagrams from TypeScript code, you use AST analysis with ts-morph and dependency graphs with madge to extract imports and exports, producing codemaps that visualize project structure.

This documentation automation tool is designed for TypeScript projects, using TypeScript AST analysis with ts-morph to extract API details. It applies across the repository to generate codemaps and update guides for TypeScript codebases specifically.

The best way to prevent documentation drift is to automatically regenerate docs and codemaps from code changes using AST analysis. This keeps READMEs, guides, and architecture documentation aligned with the actual codebase implementation continuously.
