Usage
NOTE: The TypeScript compiler options
allowSyntheticDefaultImports
andesModuleInterop
will makereact-docgen-typescript-plugin
a lot harder! Turn them off for faster build times.
const ts = require('typescript');
const ReactDocgenTypescriptPlugin = require("react-docgen-typescript-plugin").default;
module.exports = {
plugins: [
// Will default to loading your root tsconfig.json
new ReactDocgenTypescriptPlugin(),
// or with a specific tsconfig
new ReactDocgenTypescriptPlugin({ tsconfigPath: "./tsconfig.dev.json" }),
// or with compiler options
new ReactDocgenTypescriptPlugin({ compilerOptions: { jsx: ts.JsxEmit.Preserve } }),
],

Debugging
If you want to see how this plugins is including and excluding modules set the DEBUG
environment variable.
DEBUG=docgen:*
- All logsDEBUG=docgen:include
- Included modulesDEBUG=docgen:exclude
- Excluded modulesDEBUG=docgen:docs
- Generated docs
DEBUG=docgen:* npm run storybook
Another great way of debugging your generated docs is to use a
debugger
statement in your component source file. If you turn off source maps you will be able to see the code that this package generates.
