Getting Started

yarn add -D remark-react-docgen

import * as remark from 'remark';
import * as reactDocgen from 'remark-react-docgen';
import * as vfile from 'to-vfile';
 
const doc = vfile.readSync('README.md');
console.log(remark().use(reactDocgen).processSync(doc).contents);

The Component Column.tsx

import * as React from "react";
 
/**
 * Column properties.
 */
export interface IColumnProps {
  /**
   * prop1 description
   */
  prop1?: string;
  /** prop2 description */
  prop2: number;
  /**
   * prop3 description a | b
   */
  prop3: () => void;
  /** prop4 description 中文 */
  prop4: "option1" | "option2" | "option3";
}
 
/**
 * Form column.
 */
export class Column extends React.Component<IColumnProps> {
  static defaultProps = {
    prop1: "red",
  };
 
  render() {
    return <div>Test</div>;
  }
