-
Name and Description: Each component should have a clear and descriptive name, along with a brief overview of its purpose and functionality.
-
Usage Instructions: Provide instructions on how to use the component in your project. This may include code examples, API references, and any necessary configurations.
-
Parameters and Options: If the component accepts parameters or options, document what they are and how they affect the behavior of the component.
-
Events and Callbacks: If the component emits events or allows for callback functions, document the available events/callbacks and how to use them.
-
Styling: Document any CSS classes or styles associated with the component, along with guidelines on how to customize the appearance.
-

-
Compatibility: Specify which browsers, devices, or platforms the component is compatible with.
-
Examples: Provide real-world examples or use cases demonstrating how the component can be used in different scenarios.
-
Version History: Keep track of changes and updates to the component, including bug fixes, enhancements, and deprecated features.
-
