TSX docgen yeoman generator

What's that ?

This is a Yeoman generator that parses .tsx component files using react-docgen and interprets the props and defaults. Once parsed, it can create either jest snapshot test files (the default choice), or snippet files that can be used in VSCode.

Test files are added to a component's directory into a __tests__/Generated folder.

Installation

npm install yo generator-tsx-docgen

Commands

Default, generate jest test files: yo tsx-docgen

Provide the path to the folder that contains .tsx files. It can be a relative path, such as ./ or ./src.

Give the path to your folder or cd to it and put ./ as path

Other options: yo tsx-docgen --help

Usage:
  yo tsx-docgen [options]

  -h,   --help           # Print the generator's options and usage
