Docz makes it easy to write and publish beautiful interactive documentation for your code.
21+
22+
Create MDX files showcasing your code and Docz turns them into a live-reloading, production-ready site.

## Why ?
41+
42+
Documenting code is one of the most important and time-heavy processes when developing software.
43+
44+
A lot of time is spent on building and maintaining custom documentation sites.
45+
46+
Docz enables you to quickly create live-reloading, seo-friendly, production-ready documentation sites with MDX and customize the look, feel and behavior when required by leveraging [GatsbyJS](https://www.gatsbyjs.org) and [Gatsby theme shadowing](https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/themes/shadowing/).
47+
48+
## Start a New Project
49+
50+
Use [create-docz-app](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-docz-app) to quickly get started :
51+
52+
```sh
53+
npx create-docz-app my-docz-app
54+
# or
55+
yarn create docz-app my-docz-app --example typescript
56+
```
57+
58+
## Add Docz to an Existing Project
59+
60+
Start by adding `docz` as a dependency :
61+
62+
```bash
63+
$ yarn add docz@next # react react-dom
64+
65+
# or
66+
67+
$ npm install docz@next # react react-dom
68+
```
69+
70+
> **Note**: `react` and `react-dom` will not be installed automatically. You'll have to install them yourself.
71+
72+
Then, add `.mdx` files anywhere in your project:
73+
74+
```mdx
75+
---
76+
name: Button
77+
route: /
78+
---
79+
80+
import { Playground, Props } from 'docz'
81+
import Button from './Button'
82+
83+
# Button
84+
85+
<Props of={Button} />
86+
87+
## Basic usage
88+
89+
<Playground>
90+
<Button type="submit">Click me</Button>
91+
<Button>No, click me</Button>
92+
</Playground>
93+
```
94+
95+
And a Button component `Button.jsx`:
96+
97+
```typescript
98+
import React from 'react'
99+
import t from 'prop-types'
100+
101+
const Button = ({ children, type }) => <button type={type}>{children}</button>
102+
103+
Button.propTypes = {
104+
/**
105+
* This is a description for this prop.
106+
* Button type.
107+
*/
108+
type: t.oneOf(['button', 'submit', 'reset']),
109+
}
110+
Button.defaultProps = {
111+
type: 'button',
112+
}
113+
export default Button
114+
```
115+
116+
Finally, run:
117+
118+
```bash
119+
yarn docz dev
120+
```
121+
122+
This will start a local development server and open your documentation site in the browser.
123+
124+
## Build
125+
126+
`yarn docz build` will generate a static site for your site in `.docz/dist/`.
127+
128+
You can try it out with `yarn docz serve` or by serving the generated site with your favorite static file server (e.g. `npx serve .docz/dist`).
129+
130+
You can have `yarn docz build` emit to a different directory by providing a path to the `dest` field in your doczrc.js or from the command line : `yarn docz build --dest docs-site-directory`.
131+
132+
## Deploy
133+
134+
The output of docz consists of static assets only. This allows you to deploy your generated `docz` site with any static site hosting provider you'd like.
135+
136+
Start by building your site with `yarn docz build`, if you haven't provided a `dest` flag to your config then you will find your generated files in `.docz/dist` to copy to the server.
137+
