Documentation discussion

@cassiozen How and where would you want me to write that document covering typescript features? Like maybe in a "Features" section? Or like in a changelog? (that would be lame haha)

And if I'm going to use shiki-twoslash we'd have to host it somewhere. So should we make a documentation website? Or if all this is on low priority I can simply add a wiki page mentioning typescript features with screenshots?

I'm not sure how to go about this haha

[cassiozen]

We will need a site at some point, given that GitHub's wiki solution is so poor, but that's not something I could take on immediately.

Do you think you could, for now, use the wiki with screenshots and links to the TypeScript playground?

[cassiozen]

To be even more specific, I think it would be great to have a Primer, a tl;dr on the readme plus the full article on its own documentation / wiki page.

No problems!

use the wiki with screenshots and links to the TypeScript playground?

Yep that's not bad, doable

a Primer, a tl;dr on the readme

Yeah my thoughts are similar it's good to point out key-selling features on the readme and then dive into all features in details in a separate place like a wiki page

[cassiozen]

As discussed we now have a docusaurus setup under the website folder, with shiki-twoslash configured.

This is not hosted yet, but you can start working there and we will publish it before the final 1.0.0 release

Looks so cool! Sorry haven't got time to write the documentation (building my blog :P) but will do it asap.

Also make sure to not release v1 with [state, send] or else with sendT feature it would be a breaking change so v1 should be published (if at all you're doing that already) with the return type as...

{ state: ...
, context: ...
, event: ...
, nextEvents: ...
, nextEventsT: ...
, send: ...
}

I'll send a PR making the change

[cassiozen]

Yeah, I just copied the current readme. Send the PR and I work on properly splitting and updating the docs.

[cassiozen]

With that the only thing missing for the 1.0 release will be your article and my video, correct? Am I missing something?

We can target sendT for 1.1 and hierarchical for 1.2

[devanshj]

Am I missing something?

Probably not, just types-lite but we can have them for later release

Sure
