| 107 | +## TSDoc Annotations |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +All public APIs now have comprehensive TSDoc comments: |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +### Example Structure |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +```typescript |
| 114 | +/** |
| 115 | + * Brief description of the function/interface. |
| 116 | + * |
| 117 | + * @public |
| 118 | + * @remarks |
| 119 | + * Detailed explanation of the API, its purpose, and behavior. |
| 120 | + * |
| 121 | + * @typeParam T - Description of type parameter |
| 122 | + * @param paramName - Description of parameter |
| 123 | + * @returns Description of return value |
| 124 | + * |
| 125 | + * @example Basic usage |
| 126 | + * ```tsx |
| 127 | + * // Example code |
| 128 | + * ``` |
| 129 | + * |
| 130 | + * @example Advanced usage |
| 131 | + * ```tsx |
| 132 | + * // More complex example |
| 133 | + * ``` |
| 134 | + */ |
| 135 | +``` |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +### Files with TSDoc |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +- `src/useForm.ts` - useForm hook and related interfaces |
| 140 | +- `src/AIFormProvider.tsx` - AIFormProvider component and hooks |
| 141 | +- `src/utils/useAIAssistant.ts` - useAIAssistant hook |
| 142 | +- `src/types/ai.ts` - All AI-related types |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +## Generating API Reference |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +### Command |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +```bash |
| 149 | +npm run generate:api-reference |
| 150 | +# or |
| 151 | +pnpm run generate:api-reference |
| 152 | +``` |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +### Process |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +1. Parses TSDoc comments from source files |
| 157 | +2. Generates markdown documentation |
| 158 | +3. Outputs to `docs/API_REFERENCE.md` |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +### When to Regenerate |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +- After adding new public APIs |
| 163 | +- After updating TSDoc comments |
| 164 | +- After changing function signatures |
| 165 | +- Before releasing new versions |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +## Benefits for LLM Consumption |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +### 1. Modular Structure |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +Each document covers a specific topic, making it easy for LLMs to: |
| 172 | +- Find relevant information quickly |
| 173 | +- Provide focused answers |
| 174 | +- Reference specific sections |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +### 2. Consistent Format |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +All documentation follows consistent patterns: |
| 179 | +- Clear headings and subheadings |
| 180 | +- Code examples with syntax highlighting |
| 181 | +- Parameter descriptions |
| 182 | +- Return value descriptions |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +### 3. Complete Examples |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +Every API includes working examples that LLMs can: |
| 187 | +- Reference for code generation |
| 188 | +- Adapt to user needs |
| 189 | +- Combine for complex scenarios |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | +### 4. Cross-References |
| 192 | + |
| 193 | +Documents link to related content: |
| 194 | +- API Reference ↔ Examples |
| 195 | +- Getting Started → Provider Configuration |
| 196 | +- Browser Compatibility → Provider Configuration |
| 197 | + |
| 198 | +## Maintenance Workflow |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +### Adding New Features |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +1. **Write Code** with TSDoc comments |
| 203 | + ```typescript |
| 204 | + /** |
| 205 | + * New feature description |
| 206 | + * @example |
| 207 | + * ```tsx |
| 208 | + * // Usage example |
| 209 | + * ``` |
| 210 | + */ |
| 211 | + export function newFeature() { } |
| 212 | + ``` |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +2. **Generate API Docs** |
| 215 | + ```bash |
| 216 | + npm run generate:api-reference |
| 217 | + ``` |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +3. **Update Relevant Guides** |
| 220 | + - Add to EXAMPLES.md with practical examples |
| 221 | + - Update PROVIDERS.md if it affects configuration |
| 222 | + |
| 223 | +4. **Update README.md** |
| 224 | + - Add to features list if significant |
| 225 | + - Update quick start if relevant |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | +### Updating Existing Features |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +1. **Update TSDoc** in source files |
| 230 | +2. **Regenerate API docs** |
| 231 | +3. **Update examples** if behavior changed |
| 232 | +4. **Update guides** if configuration changed |
| 233 | + |
| 234 | +## Best Practices |
| 235 | + |
| 236 | +### For Contributors |
| 237 | + |
| 238 | +1. **Always add TSDoc** to public APIs |
| 239 | +2. **Include examples** in TSDoc comments |
| 240 | +3. **Regenerate API docs** before committing |
| 241 | +4. **Test examples** to ensure they work |
| 242 | +5. **Update guides** for significant changes |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +### For Maintainers |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +1. **Review TSDoc** in pull requests |
| 247 | +2. **Ensure examples work** before merging |
| 248 | +3. **Keep docs in sync** with code |
| 249 | +4. **Update version** in documentation |
| 250 | +5. **Announce breaking changes** clearly |
| 251 | + |
| 252 | +## Feedback |
