Tailored documentation features for React codebases
Extracts PropTypes and TypeScript interface props into component API tables with types and defaults
Documents React hooks with parameter descriptions, return value types, and usage examples
Generates component composition diagrams showing which components use which
Detects Context providers and documents the data shape they expose to consumers
