exports.config  =  config;

Usage 💻

• Import the library at the top level of your file, before any React imports:

import  '@zohodesk/docs-builder/loaders/propHook.js';

• Import the library into your project:

import { Docs } from '@zohodesk/docs-builder';
import * as Components from '../docs/allDocs.js'
import { docsConfig } from  '../docs/docs.config.js';

• Create a Theme Decorator Wrapper ( only if you have the _provider component in your docs)

const  Decorators  =  Components._provider;

• Render the Docs Component

ReactDOM.render(
	<Decorators>
		<Docs  docsConfig={docsConfig}  Components={Components}/>
	</Decorators>,
	document.getElementById('root')
);

• Starting the Docs

npm run start

Hurray Happy Coding! 😎
