Is there no real documentation for the TS Compiler's Node API? Over the years I've just been relying on intellisense, examples, and intuition, but I can't seem to find proper docs or even a tsdoc for it. Am I missing a link here?

The best thing I ever found was this: github.com/microsoft/Ty... But even that isn't super complete and already assumes some knowledge here and there

I learnt it from that doc too and just hacking away at stuff until it worked 😅 also a lot of discord discussions

Same. Also the types are pretty good, use that to your advantage.

Yeah gotta give it to them on the types being good. I just wish they had something between that doc and types sometimes – especially when new compiler features come out
