Lost function definition

[tugcekucukoglu]

We just upgareded to v0.27.9 and encountered this issue. For example;

https://github.com/primefaces/primevue/blob/master/packages/primevue/src/virtualscroller/VirtualScroller.d.ts#L15

includes('Function') always returns false.

Reference code: https://github.com/primefaces/primevue/blob/master/apps/showcase/scripts/build-apidoc.js#L567-L584

How can we display the code as defined?

TypeDoc's type model used to return "Function" or "Object" when toString was called on types which are more complicated and didn't have an implemented method to stringify. It now returns a more accurate string which actually describes the type.

With a little TS file that just contains your linked type, and the following code:

import { Application, DeclarationReflection } from "typedoc";

const app = await Application.bootstrap({
	entryPoints: ["src/gh2885.ts"],
});

const project = await app.convert();
if (!project) throw new Error("Failed to convert");

const alias = project.getChildByName(["VirtualScrollerPassThroughOptionType"]);
if (alias instanceof DeclarationReflection) {
	console.log(alias.type?.toString());
}

This prints:

VirtualScrollerPassThroughAttributes | (options: VirtualScrollerPassThroughMethodOptions) => VirtualScrollerPassThroughAttributes | string | string | null | undefined
