string | null

contextPropertyItems()¶

protected contextPropertyItems(ast, alsoRenderedKeys?): string[]

Defined in: formatters/src/base-formatter.ts:275

ast¶

alsoRenderedKeys?¶

readonly string[] = []

Returns¶

string[]

createRenderer()¶

protected createRenderer(options?): ConventionRenderer

Defined in: formatters/src/base-formatter.ts:39

Create a convention renderer for this formatter. Uses the provided convention from options or falls back to the default.

ConventionRenderer

dedent()¶

protected dedent(text): string

Defined in: formatters/src/base-formatter.ts:671

Returns¶

string

documentationItem()¶

protected documentationItem(value, defaultText): string | null

string | null
