Overview:
Elements is a tool that provides beautiful API documentation powered by OpenAPI and Markdown. It offers UI components that can be used to create API reference documentation or more comprehensive documentation with Markdown articles, such as tutorials and how-to guides. Elements are available as React Components or Web Components, allowing users to customize their documentation layout.
Features:
- OpenAPI and Markdown Powered Documentation: Create beautiful API documentation with support for OpenAPI and Markdown.
- React Components and Web Components: Use Elements as React Components or Web Components for flexibility in design.
- Three-column or Stacked Layout: Build documentation with a three-column "Stripe-esque" design or a stacked layout for easier integration into existing CMS.
- Gatsby
GatsbyJS is a free and open-source static site generator based on React. It uses a modern development stack including Webpack, GraphQL, and modern JavaScript and CSS frameworks. It also provides a rich set of plugins, starters, and themes.
- 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
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and more maintainable code.
- Storybook
Storybook is a tool for developing and testing UI components in isolation. It provides a sandbox environment where you can experiment with different props and states to see how your component responds.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Webpack
Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
