feat(API): better support subcomponents, label/name differences, components missing props

[wise-king-sullyman]

Closes #235

Component Coverage

• Added all documented React Core propComponents as component-index entries.
• Component index now includes a component field identifying the precise props record for each entry.
• Added canonical aliases for pages whose labels differ from component names:
  • Nav → Navigation
  • FileUpload → Simple file upload
• Secondary documented components, such as NavList, NavItem, FileUploadField, and InputGroupItem, now receive independent component-index entries.
• Members with no generated props record remain indexed with hasProps: false.

Props API

• Page props lookup falls back to the React frontmatter mapping when the page slug does not match the component name.
• Added ?component= to select a documented component member from a grouped page.
• The selector is constrained to the requested page’s propComponents; unrelated names return 404.
• Added the selector to the API route metadata and OpenAPI description.

Props Extraction

• Changed react-docgen to use FindExportedDefinitionsResolver.
• Restores props metadata for components exported alongside implementation bases or other components, including:
  • DataList
  • InputGroup
  • TextInput
  • DualListSelectorControl
  • DualListSelectorControlsWrapper
  • DualListSelectorList
  • DualListSelectorListItem
  • WizardFooter
  • WizardFooterWrapper
• Awaited props generation in the CLI build flow.

Examples

• Expanded Markdown-to-MDX example-fence support to handle:
  • isBeta and isFullscreen options
  • .ts, .tsx, .js, and .jsx files
  • Relative paths, including cross-package example paths
  • Repeated filenames without duplicate import identifiers
• This restores missing examples on existing component pages.

Index Generation

• Stores active React page-to-propComponents mappings in apiIndex.json.
• Generates /api/component-index.json from current content collections rather than relying on a potentially stale generated API index.
• Preserves existing page-derived index keys while adding component aliases.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Summary

• New Features
  • The props API supports selecting a documented component on a page, including secondary components. Without a selection, it returns props for the page’s primary component.
  • Live examples can reference TypeScript, TSX, JavaScript, and JSX files with file= code-fence options. Indented fences and backtick or tilde markers are supported, and repeated file references reuse imports.
• Bug Fixes
  • The CLI waits for props data generation to finish, and component props are resolved more accurately, including for deprecated-only pages.
• Documentation
  • Updated API documentation to describe the optional component parameter.

Walkthrough

The CLI updates example conversion and component props generation. The Docs API records documented prop components, includes component aliases in its index, and accepts a component selector on the props endpoint.

Changes

CLI generation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
File-backed example conversion cli/convertToMDX.ts, cli/__tests__/convertToMDX.test.ts	Empty TypeScript and JavaScript fences with a file= option are converted to imports and LiveExample elements. Imports are deduplicated by file, and tests cover options, relative paths, inline code, and same-named files.
Component props extraction cli/tsDocGen.js, cli/cli.ts, cli/__tests__/tsDocGen.test.ts, jest.config.ts	Metadata parsing uses the exported definitions resolver, and generateProps awaits props-data generation. Tests cover exported and forwarded components. The Jest JavaScript mapping now matches .js filenames only.

Component props API

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Record documented prop components src/utils/apiIndex/generate.ts, src/utils/apiIndex/props.ts	The generated API index records React prop components by page, including deprecated React entries when no active React mapping exists. The primary component helper selects the page name when it is listed, otherwise the first listed component, or the page name when the list is empty.
Generate primary and alias index entries src/pages/api/component-index.json.ts, src/utils/__tests__/componentIndex.test.ts	The component-index route builds its index from current collections and props data. Entries identify the primary component, derive hasProps from it, and register aliases for documented prop components. Tests cover generated mappings and entries.
Select documented components in props endpoint src/pages/api/[version]/[section]/[page]/props.ts, src/__tests__/pages/api/__tests__/[version]/[section]/[page]/props.test.ts, src/pages/api/index.ts, src/pages/api/openapi.json.ts	The props endpoint accepts an optional component query parameter and resolves the requested component or the page’s primary component. It also handles deprecated-only props records. Tests cover default lookup, a documented secondary component, and an unlisted component. Both API descriptions document the parameter.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ec986

No actionable issue is established for the current change; it is mergeable after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to e9a06

The new component selector is limited to members documented for the requested page. No security regression was verified, but deployment and generated-data assumptions remain unconfirmed.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — A caller can select among props records documented for its requested page, not arbitrary component names. The affected data is the public documentation props registry and index; no new privileged sink was established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• observed — No verified security finding was supplied. The changed selector enforces page membership before returning a requested component’s props; that is counterevidence to a cross-page selection path, not proof that unreviewed surfaces are safe.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The server fetches fixed /props.json and /apiIndex.json paths at the request URL’s origin; component and page values do not form those paths. The props fetch already used that origin, but deployment-level Host handling was not available to verify.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The prerendered component-index reader tolerates a missing props file but returns an error for other read or parse failures. Awaiting generation improves normal build ordering; it does not make the pre-existing direct file write atomic.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — If builds or development restarts can overlap with props readers, publish the registry atomically and validate an existing file before reusing it. Confirm that the deployment constrains request origins used for same-origin server fetches.

- Line 9: Update exampleBlockRegex to match file-backed opening fences preceded
by zero to three spaces, while keeping generated imports at MDX module scope.
- Line 9: Update exampleBlockRegex to capture the opening fence marker and
length, then match a closing line using the same marker with at least that many
characters and only trailing whitespace; do not treat a line such as a backtick
fence followed by text as the closer.

In `@src/pages/api/`[version]/[section]/[page]/props.ts:
- Line 25: Update the default lookup in the props flow around propsData to
consult the page’s component mapping first and select the mapped primary
component when one exists; retain the pascalCase(removeSubsection(page)) lookup
for pages without a mapping.

In `@src/pages/api/component-index.json.ts`:
- Line 99: In the component-index generation flow, keep the first page-derived
entry in components[pascalName], but build aliases from each page’s own entry
outside the first-occurrence guard. Update the loop over propComponents so later
pages with the same pascalName can register aliases for their documented
members.

most three leading spaces before a closing fence, so a marker indented four
spaces remains code content and is not converted as a closing fence.

In `@src/pages/api/component-index.json.ts`:

deprecated-only pages report props only when the `-deprecated` key exists,
matching the props endpoint lookup; do not let an unsuffixed record satisfy this
check.
