Configuration file

You can provide a configuration file in the root of your project folder.

Compodoc will search files like : .compodocrc, .compodocrc.json, .compodocrc.yaml or a compodoc property in your package.json

A JSON schema is available here : ./node_modules/@compodoc/compodoc/src/config/schema.json

Options, quotes and Windows usage

Keep in mind that using options with multiple words need quotes around your sentence.

compodoc -p tsconfig.doc.json -n 'My app documentation'

Using npm scripts, the command is hosted in package.json file. Don't forget to escape with double quotes for Windows systems. (with npm 6.x)

{
   ...
   "doc": "npx compodoc -p tsconfig.doc.json -n \"My app documentation\""
   ...
}
