typedoc-plugin-extra-footer: Add Extra Footer to TypeDoc-Generated Docs

GitHub | GitLab

Since TypeDoc v0.26.0, it is advisable to use the builtin customFooterHtml and customFooterHtmlDisableWrapper options instead. Therefore, this plugin will not support TypeDoc 0.26.0+. Also check out this page if you need help adding a copyright footer.

The last version 1.0.4 of this plugin was released on Dec 1, 2024, shortly after the release of TypeDoc 0.27. No further updates will be provided. Please update to TypeDoc v0.26+ and use the builtin features provided by TypeDoc as noted above.

This plugin adds extra content to the footer to HTML files generated by TypeDoc. This is typically suitable for content such as information about the author of the section, copyright data or links to related documents.

Install

npm install --save-dev typedoc-plugin-extra-footer

Usage

Pass --plugin typedoc-plugin-extra-footer when invoking the typedoc command:

typedoc --plugin typedoc-plugin-extra-footer

Or add the plugin to your typedoc.json file:

// typedoc.json
{
  "plugin": ["typedoc-plugin-extra-footer"]
}

Configuration

This plugin recognizes an extraFooter option in your typedoc.json. You can specify the content of the extra footer there (can be HTML):

{
  "extraFooter": "My Extra Footer"
}

This can be a copyright footer:

{
  "extraFooter": "&copy; [year] <a href=\"https://example.com/\">My Name</a>"
}

By default, the extra footer is wrapped by <p class="tsd-generator extra-footer"></p>. If you prefer to have full control of the footer without the wrapper, you can specify

{
  "extraFooterNoDefaultWrapper": true,
  "hideGenerator": true
}

In this case, setting hideGenerator is recommended but not mandatory.

Live Example

The document of this plugin itself is a live example. Check out the footer on the page.
