3.0.0-rc.0

Breaking Change

• react-docgen now parses only the new decorators proposal syntax and not the old one anymore by default. You can switch back to the legacy decorators proposal with the cli flag --legacy-decorators or the programmatic options { legacyDecorators: true } passed as 4th parameter to ReactDocgen.parse().
• Drop support for node <6

New Features

• Parse information about the (old) react context API (#130, #260)
• Adding @extends React.Component support to mark classes which do not extend from React.Component as valid react components (#269)
• Support type cast expression when detecting components (#279)

Bug Fixes

• Fix typo in one error message (Propery -> Property) (#257)
• Fix handling of exported classes without id (#273)
• Remove renamed SpreadProperty checks
• Extract display name correctly even if components are wrapped (#277)
• Resolve value to a proper node instead of an array, which fixes some recast exceptions (#278)
• Correctly unwrap utility types when resolving type spreads (#280)
• Correctly read descriptions of inner types in arrayOf/objectOf (#281)
• Correctly read descriptions of local spread objects (#282)

Internal

• Migrate babylon to @babel/parser (#272)
• Use prettier (#274)

v3.0.0-beta8

(cherry picked changes released in v2.19.0)

See v2.19.0.

• Flow: Function type definitions without parameter names are now supported. For example:

  type Props = {
    callback: (string) => void,
  }
  

  In such a case the parameter name will simply be empty. See the commit ( #218 ) for an example of the output. Thank you @odinuge!

Other

• See v2.19.0.
• getMemberValuePath now understands TaggedTemplateExpressions. This is used by @Jmeyering's custom annotation resolver. Check it out at https://github.com/Jmeyering/react-docgen-annotation-resolver ! Thank you @Jmeyering!

v2.19.0

New

• The names of class declarations and function declarations are now used as displayNames (3f22b3c).

• In classes, static get propTypes(){} is now inspected for propTypes. I.e. instead of

  class MyComponent extends React.Component {}
  
  MyComponent.propTypes = {
    disabled: PropTypes.boolean,
  };

  you can now write

  class MyComponent extends React.Component {
    static get propTypes() {
      return {
        disabled: PropTypes.boolean,
      };
    }
  }
