I need to access doc comments to autogenerate API docs for a web framework. In macros, I can access CommentStmt that are in procs , but not in type section.
I dont know if i missed something. Does anyone know a way to extract doc comments from object declaration ?
import macros
type
Foo = object
## This is an object
afoo: string ## A foo field
proc fooProc*() =
## This is a procedure
discard
macro desc(i: typed): untyped =
result = newLit(i.getImpl.treeRepr)
echo desc Foo
echo "========================"
echo desc fooProc
Prints
TypeDef
Sym "Foo"
Empty
ObjectTy

RecList

Ident "afoo"
Sym "string"

========================
