A TypeDoc plugin that renames the default exports to their original name.

Since TypeDoc 0.20, the default exports fields do not get documented with their original names, but with the name "default". This plugin restores the behavior of TypeDoc 0.19 by keeping the original field name in the documentation. See typedoc#1521 for more context.

Just install the plugin and TypeDoc will load it automatically.

npm install --save-dev typedoc-plugin-rename-defaults

For TypeDoc 0.22 and up, you will need to add --entrypointStrategy expand to the typedoc command. Example:

// package.json

{
    "scripts": {
        "build-docs": "typedoc --entryPointStrategy expand src/"
    }
}

The initial implementation of this plugin was proposed by @Gerrit0 at typedoc#1521.
