docgen

A documentation site generator for developers who want a fast, readable site without pulling in a framework.

pnpm add @erikt/docgen

Get started API reference

No build step

Runs TypeScript directly via Node.js ≥23.6. No tsc, no esbuild, no config.

File-based routing

Drop a .md or .ts file in pages/ and it becomes a route. No config required.

Static output

docgen build writes plain HTML files deployable to GitHub Pages or any static host.

Syntax highlighting

Code blocks are highlighted in the browser via MicroLighter, using the CSS Custom Highlight API with accurate language grammars.

Light & dark mode

Follows the system preference out of the box, with a toggle that persists across visits.

Search

Full-text search across all pages powered by MiniSearch — no server, no indexing pipeline.
