Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There is absolutely no user-facing documentation for any of the exposed types/interfaces.

Describe the solution you'd like

Autogeneration of documentation from the exported types would be nice.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A simple web search turns up a few options, such as this or this. Additionally, api-extractor, which I've looked into using for other reasons, can do this as well.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the TypeScript exported types and interfaces, then compare the documentation-generation options mentioned in the issue: TypeDoc, typegen, and api-extractor. Done means the exposed types have user-facing documentation generated and the chosen approach is integrated into the project.
