Angular Component Meta

In-process Angular docgen: reads component metadata straight from TypeScript sources with a warm LanguageService.

AngularComponentMetaManager keeps one warm LanguageService per matched tsconfig and emits a Compodoc-shaped record, which this package's own extractArgTypes turns into argTypes.

This package is Node-only and internal: it is bundled into @storybook/angular-vite rather than published.

Relationship to @storybook/angular-compodoc

The conversion here is a deliberate fork of the one in @storybook/angular-compodoc, which is deleted in Storybook 11 along with the Compodoc pipeline. That copy stays frozen on the legacy behaviour its committed baselines pin; this one is the successor and carries only the corrected rules, so the two are not kept in sync and fixes belong here.

Known limitations

These are inherited from the Compodoc behaviour this replaces, and are not fixed yet:

• Numeric enums produce no control. enum Size { Small, Medium } and enum Size { Small = 1, Medium } both surface as empty-enum rather than a select, because auto-incremented members carry no initializer to read. String enums and union type aliases resolve correctly. The type checker could answer this via getConstantValue, so this is fixable here in a way it was not in Compodoc.
• Inputs and outputs inherited from compiled libraries are skipped. A base class from a .d.ts contributes its plain properties and methods but not its IO, because the decorators are erased; Angular records them in ɵɵDirectiveDeclaration type arguments, which this analyzer does not read.
• hostDirectives bindings are absent. Inputs and outputs a component exposes through directive composition are not class members, so they never reach the props table.
