6 years ago Hello,
I made a pull request to the project react-docgen-typescript to make it possible to use their package as a peer dependency. My goal is to allow users to take advantage of improvements on their parser without relying on new releases to this one. I have some work on-going on the v3 branch.
I'm also in the process of simplifying the configuration per: https://github.com/strothj/react-docgen-typescript-loader/issues/15, also in that branch.
A major consideration at present is the high cost of the type checking used to produce the docgen information. I've encountered very long start times for development on projects containing 80+ components. This is a problem when all components are loaded at once by Storybook. Because of this problem, I'm not sure it would be feasible to have this enabled by default without some other approach.
I think the integration can be made easier and the documentation improved. I was planning some documentation improvements for this package, especially around the confusion with where users should report parsing issues.
I'll have to think a bit more on what else can be done. What ideas did you have in mind for making TypeScript easier to use? I'd be happy to help with the documentation.
Hey @strothj I'd love to work with you and use this package to make storybook better for typescript users by default! Do you have some ideas how that could work?
In fact I'll soonish start work on improving the documentation side of things in storybook and would love your help if you'd be up for it!
