 # vue-component-meta
 
-`vue-component-meta` allows you to extract the meta-data like props, slots, events, etc from your components via static code analysis. You can even generate description for your props from your source code. This helps document your components via automation. Please refer to the [reference](#reference) section for references.

-## Guide 📗
+Statically extract metadata such as props, events, slots, and exposed from Vue components. Useful for auto-generating component documentation or displaying component APIs in tools like Storybook.
 
-First of all, you need to create a component meta checker using `createChecker`:
+## Installation
 
-```ts
-import * as url from 'url'
-import path from 'path'
+```bash
+npm install vue-component-meta typescript
+```
 
-import type { MetaCheckerOptions } from 'vue-component-meta'
-import { createChecker } from 'vue-component-meta'
+## Usage
 
-const __dirname = url.fileURLToPath(new URL('.', import.meta.url))
+### Create a Checker from tsconfig.json
 
-const checkerOptions: MetaCheckerOptions = {
-  forceUseTs: true,
-  schema: { ignore: ['MyIgnoredNestedProps'] },
-  printer: { newLine: 1 },
-}
+```typescript
+import { createChecker } from 'vue-component-meta';
 
-const tsconfigChecker = createChecker(
-  // Write your tsconfig path
-  path.join(__dirname, 'path-to-tsconfig'),
-  checkerOptions,
-)
-```
+const checker = createChecker('/path/to/tsconfig.json', {
+  schema: true, // Enable schema parsing
+});
 
-Now, you can extract the component meta using `getComponentMeta` method of checker:
+const meta = checker.getComponentMeta('/path/to/MyComponent.vue');
+```
 
-```ts
-import * as url from 'url'
-import path from 'path'
+### Create a Checker from JSON Configuration
 
-const __dirname = url.fileURLToPath(new URL('.', import.meta.url))
+```typescript
+import { createCheckerByJson } from 'vue-component-meta';
 
-const componentPath = path.join(__dirname, 'path-to-component');
-const meta = checker.getComponentMeta(componentPath);
+const checker = createCheckerByJson('/project/root', {
+  include: ['src/**/*.vue'],
+  compilerOptions: { /* ... */ },
+  vueCompilerOptions: { /* ... */ },
+});
 ```
 
-This meta contains really useful stuff like component props, slots, events and more. You can refer to its [type definition](https://github.com/vuejs/language-tools/blob/master/packages/component-meta/lib/types.ts) for more details.
+## API
 
-### Extracting component name and description
+### `checker.getComponentMeta(filePath, exportName?)`
 
-The component meta also includes `name` and `description` fields at the root level:
+Get the metadata of a component. `exportName` defaults to `'default'`.
 
-- **`name`**: Extracted from the `name` property in the component options (for Options API components)
-- **`description`**: Extracted from JSDoc comments above the component export (for TypeScript/JavaScript files)
+The returned `ComponentMeta` object contains:
 
-```ts
-/**
- * My awesome component description
- */
-export default defineComponent({
-  name: 'MyComponent',
-  // ... component definition
-})
+```typescript
+interface ComponentMeta {
+  name?: string;
+  description?: string;
+  type: TypeMeta;
+  props: PropertyMeta[];
+  events: EventMeta[];
+  slots: SlotMeta[];
+  exposed: ExposeMeta[];
+}
 ```
 
-When you extract the component meta, you'll get:
-```ts
-meta.name // 'MyComponent'
-meta.description // 'My awesome component description'
-```
+### `checker.getExportNames(filePath)`
 
-### Extracting prop meta
+Get all export names of a file.
 
-`vue-component-meta` will automatically extract the prop details like its name, default value, is required or not, etc. Additionally, you can even write prop description in source code via [JSDoc](https://jsdoc.app/) comment for that prop.
+### `checker.updateFile(filePath, content)`
 
-```ts
-/**
- * Hide/Show alert based on v-model value
- */
-modelValue: {
-  type: Boolean,
-  default: null,
-},
-```
+Update file content (for virtual files or live editing).
+
+### `checker.deleteFile(filePath)`
+
+Remove a file from the project.
+
+### `checker.reload()`
 
-When you extract the component meta and extract the `description` property of that prop it will be "Hide/Show alert based on v-model value" 😍
+Reload the tsconfig.json configuration.
 
-> **Warning**
->
-> Do note that `meta.props` will be array of props so you can't access it via `meta.props.<prop-name>`. Moreover, `meta.props` will also contain some global prop which you can identify via `prop.global` property.
+### `checker.clearCache()`
 
-You can use it to document your component as you build your project without writing additional documentation.
+Clear cached file content.
 
-## Pitfalls 👀
+### `checker.getProgram()`
 
-As `vue-component-meta` uses static code analysis, it can't extract the dynamic prop definition.
+Get the underlying TypeScript Program instance.
 
-### default value
+## Metadata Structures
 
-`vue-component-meta` won't be able to extract default value for prop as props can't be analyzed.
+### PropertyMeta (Props)
 
-```ts
-props: {
-  // Props definition by function execution
-  ...useLayerProps({
-    color: {
-      default: 'primary',
-    },
-    variant: {
-      default: 'light',
-    },
-  }),
+```typescript
+interface PropertyMeta {
+  name: string;
+  description: string;      // Read from JSDoc
+  type: string;             // Type string
+  default?: string;         // Default value
+  required: boolean;
+  global: boolean;          // Whether it's a global prop
+  tags: { name: string; text?: string }[];  // JSDoc tags
+  schema: PropertyMetaSchema;
+  getDeclarations(): Declaration[];
+  getTypeObject(): ts.Type;
 }
 ```
 
-In this scenario, to get the correct default value you can let `vue-component-meta` know it by writing them explicitly:
-
-```ts
-props: {
-  // let vue-component-meta found it
-  color: { default: 'primary' },
-  variant: { default: 'light' },
-
-  // Props definition by function execution
-  ...useLayerProps({
-    color: {
-      default: 'primary',
-    },
-    variant: {
-      default: 'light',
-    },
-  }),
+### EventMeta
+
+```typescript
+interface EventMeta {
+  name: string;
+  description: string;
+  type: string;
+  signature: string;
+  tags: { name: string; text?: string }[];
+  schema: PropertyMetaSchema[];
+  getDeclarations(): Declaration[];
+  getTypeObject(): ts.Type | undefined;
 }
 ```
 
-### description
-
-Same as above scenario you might have issue with description not generating when prop definition is dynamic. In this case writing prop description can be tricky.
-
-When it's function execution, write prop description in function definition:
-
-```ts
-export const useLayerProp = (...) => {
-  const props = {
-       /**
-        * Layer variant
-        */
-       variant: {
-         type: String,
-         default: 'text',
-       },
-  }
-
-  export { props }
+### SlotMeta
+
+```typescript
+interface SlotMeta {
+  name: string;
+  description: string;
+  type: string;
+  tags: { name: string; text?: string }[];
+  schema: PropertyMetaSchema;
+  getDeclarations(): Declaration[];
+  getTypeObject(): ts.Type;
 }
 ```
 
-### required
-
-For generating the correct `required` value for props like below:
-
-```ts
-// @/composables/useProps.ts
-export const disabled = {
-  type: Boolean,
-  default: false,
+### ExposeMeta
+
+```typescript
+interface ExposeMeta {
+  name: string;
+  description: string;
+  type: string;
+  tags: { name: string; text?: string }[];
+  schema: PropertyMetaSchema;
+  getDeclarations(): Declaration[];
+  getTypeObject(): ts.Type;
 }
 ```
 
-```ts
-import { disabled } from '@/composables/useProps'
+## Options
 
-export default defineComponent({
-  props: {
-    disabled,
-  },
-})
+```typescript
+interface MetaCheckerOptions {
+  schema?: boolean | {
+    ignore?: (string | ((name: string, type: ts.Type, typeChecker: ts.TypeChecker) => boolean))[];
+  };
+  printer?: ts.PrinterOptions;
+}
 ```
 
-You need to add `as const` to variable definition:
+### `schema`
 
-```diff
- export const disabled = {
-   type: Boolean,
-   default: false,
-- }
-+ } as const
+Controls whether to parse the schema structure of types. Set to `true` to enable, or pass an object to configure types to ignore.
+
+```typescript
+const checker = createChecker(tsconfig, {
+  schema: {
+    ignore: ['HTMLElement', (name) => name.startsWith('Internal')],
+  },
+});
 ```
