Recent updates and improvements to the duck-gen documentation.

February 2026

The duck-gen documentation was completely restructured for clarity and discoverability.

The docs are now organized into clear sections:

Section	What it covers
Duck Gen	Core generator: overview, configuration, API routes, messages, generated types
Duck Query	Type-safe HTTP client: overview, client methods, types, advanced usage
Guides	End-to-end walkthrough from setup to production
Templates	Starter projects with Duck Gen pre-configured

Added a complete Duck Query section covering the type-safe HTTP client that consumes Duck Gen's generated types:

Overview: What Duck Query is and how it connects to Duck Gen output
Client Methods: Every method (get, post, put, patch, delete) with typed request/response examples
Types: Deep dive into RouteReq, RouteRes, ApiRoutes, and utility types
Advanced: Custom interceptors, error handling, retry logic, and SSR patterns

Added architecture flowcharts showing how Duck Gen processes source code:

Main flow diagram: From duck-gen.json config through ts-morph scanning to .d.ts output
Route extraction pipeline: How controller decorators are parsed into typed route maps
Message extraction pipeline: How @duckgen JSDoc tags become typed message registries

All callout blocks now include contextual icons for better visual scanning throughout the documentation.

Every configuration option, type, and method is now documented in formal tables with types, defaults, and descriptions.
