easy-react-markdown-docs.js

Easiest way to generate simple react markdown documentation for you components. Built on top of react-docgen.

Installation

npm install --save easy-react-markdown-docs

Getting Started

Run in terminal:

erd --path <react_components_directory_path> --docs <docs-directory-path>

• erd stands for "easy react docs".
• --path defaults to ./src/components
• --docs defaults to ./docs.

Make sure that both your component and docs directories are valid and exist before running the script.

After running the script a file called components.md will be placed in your docs (specified or default) directory.

HOW TO

• Correctly Document Components: Review react-docgen for guidance on component documentation.
• Component Arcitecture: Components should follow:

//It will look for .js and .jsx files. 
//Supports component nesting within the specified components directory.
//Any files that contain test.js, spec.js, test.jsx, and spec.jsx in the name will be ignored.

./<component_directory>
	./Button
		./*{.js|.jsx}

You can nest components under folders for better organization in the component directory.
