Keeping Documentation Updated

This extension includes an automated script to fetch and update the React documentation entries from react.dev.

Running the Update Script

To update the documentation to the latest version from React's website:

npm run update-docs

This script will:

• Fetch all API documentation from react.dev
• Extract hooks, components, APIs, and other reference pages
• Categorize them automatically
• Generate the src/data/index.ts file with all entries
• Display a summary of what was found

The script currently fetches documentation for:

• React Hooks (useState, useEffect, etc.)
• React Components (Fragment, Suspense, etc.)
• React APIs (cache, memo, lazy, etc.)
• Legacy APIs (Component, createElement, etc.)
• React DOM Components (form, input, etc.)
• React DOM APIs (createRoot, hydrateRoot, etc.)
• Resource Preloading APIs (preload, prefetch, etc.)
• Server APIs (renderToString, etc.)

When to Run the Update

You should run the update script when:

• React releases new features or APIs
• You want to ensure the extension has the latest documentation links
• You notice missing documentation entries

After running the update script, make sure to:

1. Test the extension: npm run dev
2. Build the extension: npm run build
3. Verify that new APIs (like cache) appear in the search results
