By default, Styleguidist will look for styleguide.config.js file in your project’s root folder. You can change the location of the config file using --config CLI option.
Type: String, optional
Your application static assets folder, will be accessible as / in the style guide dev server.
Type: String or Function, default: src/components/**/*.js
- when
String: a glob pattern that matches all your component modules. - when
Function: a function that returns an array of module paths.
All paths are relative to config folder.
See examples in the Components section.
Type: Object, optional
Modules that will be available for examples. You can use it for utility functions like Lodash or for data fixtures.
module.exports = {
context: {
map: 'lodash/map',
users: './fixtures/users'
}
};Then you can use them in any example:
<Message>{map(users, 'name').join(', ')}</Message>Type: String[], optional
Array of absolute paths that allow you to specify absolute paths of directories to watch for additions or removals of components.
By default Styleguidist uses common parent directory of your components.
module.exports = {
contextDependencies: [
path.resolve(__dirname, 'lib/components')
]
}Type: Function, optional
Function that allows you to add endpoints to the underlying express server:
module.exports = {
configureServer(app) {
// `app` is the instance of the express server running Styleguidist
app.get('/custom-endpoint', (req, res) => {
res.status(200).send({ response: 'Server invoked' });
});
}
};Your components will be able to invoke the url http://localhost:6060/custom-endpoint from their examples.
Type: Function, optional
Warning: you may easily break Styleguidist using this options, try to use webpackConfig option instead.
Allows you to modify webpack config without any restrictions.
module.exports = {
dangerouslyUpdateWebpackConfig(webpackConfig, env) {
// WARNING: inspect Styleguidist Webpack config before modifying it, otherwise you may break Styleguidist
console.log(webpackConfig);
webpackConfig.externals = {
jquery: 'jQuery'
};
return webpackConfig;
}
};Type: Boolean or String, default: false
For components that do not have an example, a default one can be used. When set to true, the DefaultExample.md is used, or you can provide the path to your own example Markdown file.
When writing your own default example file, __COMPONENT__ will be replaced by the actual component name at compile-time.
Type: Function, default: component file name
Function that returns a component path line (displayed under the component name).
For example, instead of components/Button/Button.js you can print import Button from 'components/Button';:
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
getComponentPathLine(componentPath) {
const name = path.basename(componentPath, '.js');
const dir = path.dirname(componentPath);
return `import ${name} from '${dir}';`;
}
};Type: Function, default: finds Readme.md or ComponentName.md in the component folder
Function that returns examples file path for a given component path.
For example, instead of Readme.md you can use ComponentName.examples.md:
module.exports = {
getExampleFilename(componentPath) {
return componentPath.replace(/\.jsx?$/, '.examples.md');
}
};Type: Function, optional, default: [react-docgen-displayname-handler]
Function that returns functions used to process the discovered components and generate documentation objects. Default behaviors include discovering component documentation blocks, prop types, and defaults. If setting this property, it is best to build from the default react-docgen handler list, such as in the example below. See the react-docgen handler documentation for more information about handlers.
Also note that the default handler, react-docgen-displayname-handler should be included to better support higher order components.
module.exports = {
handlers: componentPath => require('react-docgen').defaultHandlers.concat(
(documentation, path) => {
// Calculate a display name for components based upon the declared class name.
if (path.value.type === 'ClassDeclaration' && path.value.id.type === 'Identifier') {
documentation.set('displayName', path.value.id.name);
// Calculate the key required to find the component in the module exports
if (path.parentPath.value.type === 'ExportNamedDeclaration') {
documentation.set('path', path.value.id.name);
}
}
// The component is the default export
if (path.parentPath.value.type === 'ExportDefaultDeclaration') {
documentation.set('path', 'default');
}
},
// To better support higher order components
require('react-docgen-displayname-handler').createDisplayNameHandler(componentPath),
)
};Type: String, default: base16-light
CodeMirror theme name to use for syntax highlighting in the editor.
Type: String[], default: ['**/__tests__/**', '**/*.test.js', '**/*.spec.js']
Array of glob pattern or files of components that should not be included in the style guide.
Type: Number, default: 500
Debounce time in milliseconds used before render the changes from the editor. While typing code the preview will not be updated.
Type: Function, optional
Function that allows you to override the mechanism used to parse props from a source file. Default mechanism is using react-docgen to parse props.
module.exports = {
propsParser(filePath, source) {
return require('react-docgen').parse(source);
}
};Type: String[], optional
Modules that are required for your style guide. Useful for third-party styles or polyfills.
module.exports = {
require: [
'babel-polyfill',
'path/to/styles.css',
]
};Type: Function, optional
Function that allows you to override the mechanism used to identify classes/components to analyze. Default behavior is to find all exported components in each file. You can configure it to find all components or use a custom detection method. See the react-docgen resolver documentation for more information about resolvers.
module.exports = {
resolver: require('react-docgen').resolver.findAllComponentDefinitions
};Type: Array, optional
Allows components to be grouped into sections with a title and overview content. Sections can also be content only, with no associated components (for example, a textual introduction). Sections can be nested.
See examples in the Sections section.
Type: String, default: localhost
Dev server host name.
Type: Number, default: 6060
Dev server port.
Type: Boolean, default: false
Show or hide example code initially. It can be toggled in the UI by clicking the show/hide code button before each example.
Type: Boolean, default: true
Toggle sidebar visibility. Sidebar will be hidden when opening components or examples in isolation mode even if this value is set to true. When set to false, sidebar will always be hidden.
Type: Boolean, default: false
Ignore components that don’t have an example file (as determined by getExampleFilename). These components won’t be accessible from other examples unless you manually require them.
Type: String, default: styleguide
Folder for static HTML style guide generated with styleguidist build command.
Type: object, optional
Customize styles of any Styleguidist’s component.
See example in the cookbook.
Type: String, default: src/templates/index.html
HTML file to use as the template for the style guide. HTML webpack Plugin is used under the hood, see their docs for details.
Type: object, optional
Customize style guide UI fonts, colors, etc.
See example in the cookbook.
Type: String, default: <app name from package.json> Style Guide
Style guide title.
Type: Boolean, default: false
Print debug information. Same as --verbose command line switch.
Type: Object or Function, optional
Custom webpack config options: loaders, extensions, plugins, etc. required for your project.
Can be an object:
module.exports = {
webpackConfig: {
module: {
resolve: {
extensions: ['.es6']
},
loaders: [
{
test: /\.scss$/,
loaders: ['style-loader', 'css-loader', 'sass-loader?precision=10']
}
]
}
}
};Or a function:
module.exports = {
webpackConfig(env) {
if (env === 'development') {
return {
// custom options
};
}
return {};
}
};Warning: This option disables webpack config file autoload, load your config manually.
Note:
entry,externals,output,watch,statsanddevtooloptions will be ignored.
Note:
CommonsChunkPlugins,HtmlWebpackPlugin,UglifyJsPlugin,HotModuleReplacementPluginplugins will be ignored because Styleguidist already includes them or they may break Styleguidist.
Note: Run style guide in verbose mode to see the actual webpack config used by Styleguidist:
npm run styleguide -- --verbose.
See Configuring webpack for examples.
