| _dev_ | The version that you would like to be marked as dev | string | no | Automatically inferred based on current version and build history. |
| _domLocation_ | A custom DOM location to render the HTML select dropdown corresponding to typedoc rendererHooks, eg. "navigation.begin" | string | no | Injects to left of header using vanilla js - not a typedoc render hook. |

"What sorcery is this?", you may ask...

Typedoc-plugin-versions takes the architectural approach of JuliaLang Documenter.

Documents are built into subdirectories corresponding to the package.json version.
Symlinks are created to minor versions, which are given as options in a select menu.

As long as you do not delete your historic document build folders, the document history remains intact.

If you want to remove a historic version, delete the old folder and rebuild your documentation.

CID

Below is an opinionated Github CI setup. You can hack and change it to suite your needs.

How to for Github Actions:

- In your project's package.json, set up scripts for:
- build - to build your project, eg. "tsc --outDir ./dist"
- docs - to build your documents, eg "typedoc --out ./docs"
- Ensure that your documents are being built into a folder named ./docs` (or change your workflow file appropriately)
- Create an empty branch called gh-pages
- Under your repository's 'Pages' settings, set:
- Source: Deploy from a branch
- Branch: gh-pages/docs (symlinks won't work in the gh-pages/root folder)
- Create a custom workflow as per this template for PUBLISH DOCS.

The "PUBLISH DOCS" action will create a rolling update to your document set.
