# Documentation Structure
2+
3+
This document explains the new documentation structure for React Hook Form AI, designed for easy LLM consumption and better developer experience.

5+
## Overview
6+
7+
The documentation has been restructured following the react-hook-form approach:
8+
9+
- **Modular** - Separate files for different topics
10+
- **LLM-Friendly** - Structured for AI-assisted coding
11+
- **Comprehensive** - Complete API coverage with examples
12+
- **Maintainable** - Auto-generated from TSDoc comments
13+
14+

## TSDoc Annotations
123+
124+
All public APIs now have comprehensive TSDoc comments:
125+
126+
### Example Structure
127+
128+
```typescript
129+
/**
130+
* Brief description of the function/interface.
131+
*
132+
* @public
133+
* @remarks
134+
* Detailed explanation of the API, its purpose, and behavior.
135+
*
136+
* @typeParam T - Description of type parameter
137+
* @param paramName - Description of parameter
138+
* @returns Description of return value
139+
*
140+
* @example Basic usage
141+
* ```tsx
142+
* // Example code
143+
* ```
144+
*
145+
* @example Advanced usage
146+
* ```tsx
147+
* // More complex example
148+
* ```
149+
*/
150+
```
151+
152+
### Files with TSDoc
153+
154+
- `src/useForm.ts` - useForm hook and related interfaces
155+
- `src/AIFormProvider.tsx` - AIFormProvider component and hooks
156+
- `src/utils/useAIAssistant.ts` - useAIAssistant hook
157+
- `src/types/ai.ts` - All AI-related types
158+
159+
## Generating API Reference
160+
161+
### Command
162+
163+
```bash
164+
npm run generate:api-reference
165+
# or
166+
pnpm run generate:api-reference
167+
```
168+
169+
### Process
170+
171+
1. Parses TSDoc comments from source files
172+
2. Generates markdown documentation
173+
3. Outputs to `docs/API_REFERENCE.md`
174+
175+
### When to Regenerate
176+
177+
- After adding new public APIs
178+
- After updating TSDoc comments
179+
- After changing function signatures
180+
- Before releasing new versions
181+
182+
## Benefits for LLM Consumption
183+
184+
### 1. Modular Structure
185+
186+
Each document covers a specific topic, making it easy for LLMs to:
187+
- Find relevant information quickly
188+
- Provide focused answers
189+
- Reference specific sections
190+
191+
### 2. Consistent Format
192+
193+
All documentation follows consistent patterns:
194+
- Clear headings and subheadings
195+
- Code examples with syntax highlighting
196+
- Parameter descriptions
197+
- Return value descriptions
198+
199+
### 3. Complete Examples
200+
201+
Every API includes working examples that LLMs can:
202+
- Reference for code generation
203+
- Adapt to user needs
204+
- Combine for complex scenarios
205+
206+
### 4. Cross-References
207+
208+
Documents link to related content:
209+
- API Reference ↔ Examples
210+
- Getting Started → Provider Configuration
211+
- Browser Compatibility → Provider Configuration
212+
213+
## Maintenance Workflow
214+
215+
### Adding New Features
216+
217+
1. **Write Code** with TSDoc comments
218+
```typescript
219+
/**
220+
* New feature description
221+
* @example
222+
* ```tsx
223+
* // Usage example
224+
* ```
225+
*/
226+
export function newFeature() { }
227+
```
228+
229+
2. **Generate API Docs**
230+
```bash
231+
npm run generate:api-reference
232+
```
233+
234+
3. **Update Relevant Guides**
235+
- Add to GETTING_STARTED.md if it's a core feature
236+
- Add to EXAMPLES.md with practical examples
237+
- Update PROVIDERS.md if it affects configuration
238+
239+
4. **Update README.md**
240+
- Add to features list if significant
241+
- Update quick start if relevant
242+
243+
### Updating Existing Features
244+
245+
1. **Update TSDoc** in source files
246+
2. **Regenerate API docs**
247+
3. **Update examples** if behavior changed
248+
4. **Update guides** if configuration changed
249+
250+
## Best Practices
251+
252+
### For Contributors
253+
254+
1. **Always add TSDoc** to public APIs
255+
2. **Include examples** in TSDoc comments
256+
3. **Regenerate API docs** before committing
257+
4. **Test examples** to ensure they work
258+
5. **Update guides** for significant changes
259+
260+
### For Maintainers
261+
262+
1. **Review TSDoc** in pull requests
263+
2. **Ensure examples work** before merging
264+
3. **Keep docs in sync** with code
265+
4. **Update version** in documentation
266+
5. **Announce breaking changes** clearly
267+
268+
