Overview

structured-types plugin to extract react prop-types specific properties. If you are using typescript props for your react components, please see the react plugin.

Getting started

1. Installation

$ npm install @structured-types/prop-types-plugin --save-dev

2. Your API source file (Component.tsx):

import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

/**
 * MyComponent special component
 */
export const MyComponent = ({ stringProp }) => <div>{stringProp}</div>;

MyComponent.propTypes = {
  /** stringProp description */
  stringProp: PropTypes.string,
  /** numberProp description */
  numberProp: PropTypes.number.isRequired,
};

MyComponent.defaultProps = {
  stringProp: 'test',
};

3. Your documentation extraction

import { parseFiles } from '@structured-types/api';
import propTypesPlugin from '@structured-types/prop-types-plugin';
//optional you can also use react plugin for any typescript react props
import reactPlugin from '@structured-types/react-plugin';

const docs = parseFiles(['../src/components/Component.tsx'], {
  plugins: [propTypesPlugin, reactPlugin],
});

4. The result

{
  "MyComponent": {
    "kind": 11,
    "extension": "react-prop-types",
    "properties": [
      {
        "name": "stringProp",
        "kind": 1,
        "optional": true,
        "description": "stringProp description",
        "value": "test"
      },
      {
        "name": "numberProp",
        "kind": 2,
        "description": "numberProp description"
      }
    ],
    "description": "MyComponent special component",
    "name": "MyComponent"
  }
}

Configuration

The react-prop-types typescript uses the default configurations from the react plugin, and you can also add or modify some of the other parsing options that will be specific only for the found react components. For other typescript/jsdoc types, the global options passed to parseFiles will still apply.

Enable the children props.

By default, the plugin removes the children property that is part of most react components, here is an example of how to re-enable the children properties by disabling the default filter:

import { parseFiles } from '@structured-types/api';
import propTypesPlugin from '@structured-types/prop-types-plugin';

const docs = parseFiles(['../src/components/Component.tsx'], {
  plugins: [{ ...propTypesPlugin, filter: undefined }],
});
