@storybook/docs-tools
Advanced tools
The @storybook/docs-tools package is a part of the Storybook ecosystem, designed to enhance the documentation capabilities within Storybook. It provides tools and utilities to help developers create better documentation for their UI components, integrating seamlessly with Storybook's UI component development environment.
MDX Support
Enables writing documentation using MDX (Markdown for JSX), which allows for rich and interactive documentation. This feature lets you embed live examples and props tables directly in your markdown files.
import { Meta, Story, ArgsTable, Primary } from '@storybook/addon-docs/blocks';
<Meta title='Your Component Title' />
<Story name='Default View' height='400px'>
<YourComponent />
</Story>
<ArgsTable of={YourComponent} />Component Props Table
Automatically generates and displays a table of properties (props) for your components. This is useful for documenting the different props that can be used with a component, including types, default values, and descriptions.
import { ArgsTable } from '@storybook/addon-docs/blocks';
<ArgsTable of={YourComponent} />Custom Doc Blocks
Allows the creation of custom documentation blocks within MDX files, enabling more structured and styled documentation. This feature supports various blocks like Title, Subtitle, Description, and more.
import { Title, Subtitle, Description, Primary } from '@storybook/addon-docs/blocks';
<Title>My Custom Component</Title>
<Subtitle>Component Subtitle</Subtitle>
<Description>{`This is a detailed description of the custom component.`}</Description>
<Primary>/* Render your component here */</Primary>React Docgen automatically parses React component files to extract prop types and descriptions. It's similar to @storybook/docs-tools in that it helps generate documentation for components, but it does not integrate directly with Storybook or support MDX.
Docusaurus is a static site generator that can be used for creating project documentation. Unlike @storybook/docs-tools, which is specifically tailored for Storybook and UI components, Docusaurus provides a more general approach to documentation across different frameworks and libraries.
