🤔   Why?

Libraries that make development easier are appearing every day. Style guides and design systems are growing in popularity. Today, tools that allow us to get our best work done and be efficient are necessary. We shouldn't be spending too much time on tasks that should be trivial. This is why we created Docz.

Documenting code is one of the most important and time-heavy processes when you're creating something new. A lot of time is wasted on unnecessarily attempting to build a documentation site that will match the style we want.

⚠️   Warning

Since the release of v1 you need react and react-dom v16.8.0 or later installed.

📟   Install and Usage

Getting started with Docz is really quick and easy.

If you're starting from scratch use create-docz-app to create your project.

npx create-docz-app my-docz-app 
# or
yarn create docz-app my-docz-app --example typescript

If you want to add docz to a codebase, then add docz using your favourite package manager:

$ yarn add --dev docz@next react react-dom

# or

$ npm install --save-dev docz@next react react-dom

Note: react and react-dom will not be installed automatically. You'll have to install them yourself.

Next, add some .mdx files anywhere in your project:

---
name: Button
route: /
---

import { Playground, Props } from "docz";
import Button from "./Button";

# Button

<Props of={Button} />

## Basic usage

<Playground>
  <Button type="submit">Click me</Button>
  <Button>No, click me</Button>
</Playground>

And a Button component Button.jsx:

import React from "react";
import t from "prop-types";

const Button = ({ children, type }) => <button type={type}>{children}</button>;

Button.propTypes = {
  /**
   * This is a pretty good description for this prop
   * Button type. Learn more about `type` attribute [at MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/button#attr-type)
   */
  type: t.oneOf(["button", "submit", "reset"])
};
Button.defaultProps = {
  type: "button"
};
export default Button;

Finally, run the Docz development server:

$ yarn docz dev

That's it! Now you have some real badass documentation 👊
