[FEATURE] - StencilJS projects support

Overview of the issue

Just want to have support for StencilJS projects.

https://stenciljs.com/docs/getting-started

Operating System, Node.js, npm, compodoc version(s)

$ winver Windows 10

$ node -v v8.11.2

$ npm -v 6.1.0

Angular configuration, a package.json file in the root folder

package.json:

https://github.com/napolev/web-components/blob/master/package.json

Actual repository:

https://github.com/napolev/web-components/

Compodoc installed globally or locally ?

Compodoc installed both globally and locally.

If possible sourcecode of the file where it breaks

The generation doesn’t break, it just doesn’t generate the documentation for my two components as you can see here:

https://napolev.github.io/web-components/documentation/

Here are the two components:

If possible your terminal logs before the error

Motivation for or Use Case

Need to document an StencilJS project, which uses TypeScript (similar use cases this beautiful tool can handle).

Reproduce the error

1. Clone this repository: https://github.com/napolev/web-components
2. Run: $ npm i
3. Run: $ npm run compodoc

Suggest a Fix

I don’t have a clear idea on how to suggest a fix for this but I think it will be really easy for you to figure this out because StencilJS uses TypeScript as well. I strongly suggest you that incorporate one session on your documentation for StencilJS projects since that’s a really good framework.

Thanks!

Wait a little the next version, which will support Stencil and Nest projects, which are very similar using Decorators for properties and methods. I think during next 2 weeks. If you have a reference of an open-source application build with Stencil, it could be nice for me for adding it inside the unit tests of Compodoc. Thanks
