# Documentation

All documentation is open sourced and we are happy to accept contributions whether they are typo fixes or new pages.
Content is written in Markdown, and takes advantage of [MDX](https://github.com/mdx-js/mdx) to provide powerful functionality on-top of Markdown.

Our documentation reference is automatically generated from each packages TypeScript declaration. Our build process
automatically generates a `typedoc.json` file using TypeDoc, which is then parsed into a consumable format for our documentation generator.

# Community
