It provides a zero-config development server, component library mode, and utility components for improved development, documentation, and testing workflows. With easy installation and simple setup, Compositor Kit can significantly enhance the efficiency and productivity of React component development.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Documentation
Documentation themes are built specifically for writing technical and product documentation. They are normally written and maintained in Markdown. The often include a navigation menu, search bar, clear headings, semantic document structure and clean typography.
- MDX
MDX is a format that allows developers to write JSX within Markdown documents, combining the power of React with the simplicity of Markdown. This allows for the creation of dynamic and interactive content that can be easily shared and consumed across different platforms and devices.
