findType

Resolve a bare type name to a documented TypeInfo.

The model map is keyed by a qualified ${namespace}#${name} identity, because a package can export the same simple name from different modules. Resolution is best-effort: 1. Prefer a type in currentNamespace (the referencing page’s module). 2. Otherwise, if exactly one type across all modules has that bare name, use it. 3. If the bare name is ambiguous (multiple modules), give up (caller renders plain code).

Import:

import { findType } from '@mnaoumov/typescript-dev-toolkit/docs-site/api-doc-link-rendering';

Signature:

function findType(allTypes: Map<string, TypeInfo>, name: string, currentNamespace: string | undefined): TypeInfo | undefined

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
allTypes	Map<string, TypeInfo>	Every documented type, keyed by $\{namespace\}#$\{name\}.
name	string	The type’s name.
currentNamespace	string | undefined	The namespace of the referencing page, preferred when the name is ambiguous.

Returns: TypeInfo | undefined — The type, or undefined when no type or more than one has that name.
