🔍Search

search(search: string, { 
    version?: string, 
    category?: string, 
    skip?: boolean 
}): Promise<docsParsed | Error>

Code example:

Import the package

const { nodejs } = require('search-docs');

search readFileSync in fs

nodejs.search('readFileSync', { category: "fs" })

nodejs.search('fs#readFileSync')

You can also specify a version of Node.js (default: latest)

nodejs.search('readFileSync', { category: "fs", version: "v18.x" })

A cache system is implemented in the module, in order to skip this cache system and directly make a request for get result in real time please add the skip option

nodejs.search('readFileSync', { category: "fs", skip: true })

For `readSync` here are the types that the function return as well as a concrete example of what it returns:
