[Idea]: refactor generated TypeScript interface documentation

[kgryte]

Idea

Currently, stdlib publishes TypeScript interface documentation in its web-based API documentation. The generated documentation monkey-patches tsdoc to handle generating documentation across the entire mono-repo. The goal of this project is to refactor/rethink this approach and provide a solution capable of addressing the unique constraints of the stdlib project.

Expected Outcomes

At a base level, it would be great if we had a working documentation render which did not require monkey-patching. A more difficult, but potentially more desirable, outcome would be if TypeScript documentation was not rendered as a separate website, but rather was integrated within the docs as simply another page/fragment.

Involved Software

No other software is necessary.

Prerequisite Knowledge

JavaScript, Node.js, HTML/CSS, TypeScript, JSX/React.

Difficulty

Intermediate.

Project Length

175/350 hours. Length will depend on the nature of the proposed solution (e.g., needing to write a custom TypeScript parser vs modifying the existing tsdoc library).
