Class TypeParameterReflection

Base class for all reflection classes.

While generating a documentation, TypeDoc generates an instance of ProjectReflection as the root for all reflections within the project. All other reflections are represented by the DeclarationReflection class.

This base class exposes the basic properties one may use to traverse the reflection tree. You can use the children and parent properties to walk the tree. The groups property contains a list of all children grouped and sorted for rendering.
