Standard formats

Generators export the model to standard interchange formats — the cheapest way to get editor support and tooling interop, without a bespoke consumer.

VS Code custom data

@cssdoc/vscode-custom-data emits the JSON that VS Code's built-in CSS and HTML language services read — so custom properties and documented classes get completions and hover with no extension.

import { writeVscodeCustomData } from "@cssdoc/vscode-custom-data";
writeVscodeCustomData({ css, outDir: ".vscode" });

// .vscode/settings.json
{
  "css.customData": [".vscode/css-custom-data.json"],
  "html.customData": [".vscode/html-custom-data.json"],
}

html.customData lists your component classes and modifiers as class-attribute values; css.customData lists the declared custom properties.

Custom Elements Manifest

@cssdoc/cem emits a Custom Elements Manifest — each record becomes a declaration carrying cssProperties, cssParts, and cssStates, interoperable with the CEM tooling ecosystem.

import { writeCem } from "@cssdoc/cem";
writeCem({ css, outFile: "custom-elements.json" });

Design Tokens (DTCG)

@cssdoc/dtcg exports declared custom properties as W3C Design Tokens — $value from the initial-value, $type mapped from the syntax, $description — grouped by record.

import { writeDtcg } from "@cssdoc/dtcg";
writeDtcg({ css, outFile: "tokens.json" });
