Reusable Components

Introduction

Reusable components can vary depending on the specific technology or framework you're using. However, here's a general outline of what documentation for reusable components might include:

  1. Name and Description: Each component should have a clear and descriptive name, along with a brief overview of its purpose and functionality.

  2. Usage Instructions: Provide instructions on how to use the component in your project. This may include code examples, API references, and any necessary configurations.

  3. Parameters and Options: If the component accepts parameters or options, document what they are and how they affect the behavior of the component.

  4. Events and Callbacks: If the component emits events or allows for callback functions, document the available events/callbacks and how to use them.

  5. Styling: Document any CSS classes or styles associated with the component, along with guidelines on how to customize the appearance.

  6. Dependencies: List any dependencies required by the component, such as other libraries or frameworks.

  7. Compatibility: Specify which browsers, devices, or platforms the component is compatible with.

  8. Examples: Provide real-world examples or use cases demonstrating how the component can be used in different scenarios.

  9. Version History: Keep track of changes and updates to the component, including bug fixes, enhancements, and deprecated features.

  10. License: Include information about the licensing terms for the component, such as whether it's open source or proprietary.
