Aric Camarata 4227afc2c3 docs: add TypeDoc API generation (typedoc@0.28.19 + typedoc-plugin-markdown@4.11.0)
Add typedoc and typedoc-plugin-markdown as devDependencies. Add typedoc.json config
targeting src/index.ts with markdown output to .github/wiki/api. Add docs script to
package.json. Generate initial API reference pages.

# Function: getTimes()
> **getTimes**(`date`, `lat`, `lng`, `tz?`, `elevation?`, `temperature?`, `pressure?`, `hanafi?`): [`PrayerTimes`](../interfaces/PrayerTimes.md)
Defined in: [getTimes.ts:39](https://github.com/acamarata/pray-calc/blob/af34aef986c37d8de9cf8db0744a41e3b0c99c40/src/getTimes.ts#L39)
Compute prayer times for a given date and location.
Uses the dynamic twilight angle algorithm to determine Fajr and Isha
depression angles, then solves for all prayer events via SPA.
## Parameters
### date
`Date`
Observer's local date (time-of-day is ignored)
### lat
`number`
Latitude in decimal degrees (-90 to 90, south = negative)
### lng
`number`
Longitude in decimal degrees (-180 to 180, west = negative)
### tz?
`number` = `...`
UTC offset in hours (e.g. -5 for EST). Defaults to the
system timezone derived from the Date object.
### elevation?
`number` = `0`
Observer elevation in meters (default: 0)
### temperature?
`number` = `15`
Ambient temperature in °C (default: 15)
### pressure?
`number` = `1013.25`
Atmospheric pressure in mbar/hPa (default: 1013.25)
### hanafi?
`boolean` = `false`
Asr convention: false = Shafi'i/Maliki/Hanbali (default),
true = Hanafi
## Returns
[`PrayerTimes`](../interfaces/PrayerTimes.md)
Prayer times as fractional hours and the dynamic angles used.
Any time that cannot be computed (e.g. polar night/day, or the
sun never reaching the required depression) is returned as `NaN`.
## Throws
if lat, lng, tz, or elevation are out of valid range
