How to document components in React
Monday, May 18, 2026
Documenting React components is a critical task that ensures your codebase remains maintainable, scalable, and accessible to other developers. With over 25 years of experience in software development and as the creator of CoreUI, I’ve built and documented hundreds of complex components for millions of users worldwide. From my expertise, the most efficient approach is a multi-layered strategy combining JSDoc for inline descriptions, TypeScript for structural type safety, and Storybook for visual documentation. This combination provides immediate feedback in modern IDEs and creates a live style guide for your entire design system.
