ApiModel.tryGetPackageByName() method

Efficiently finds a package by the NPM package name.

Signature:

tryGetPackageByName(packageName: string): ApiPackage | undefined;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
packageName	string

Returns:

ApiPackage | undefined

Remarks

If the NPM scope is omitted in the package name, it will still be found provided that it is an unambiguous match. For example, it's often convenient to write {@link node-core-library#JsonFile} instead of {@link @rushstack/node-core-library#JsonFile}.
