## What it is
A TypeScript library that parses React component prop types defined in TypeScript interfaces instead of propTypes, extracting docgen metadata. It integrates with React Styleguidist via a propsParser hook and supports custom tsconfig and prop filtering options.

## Use cases
- extract prop types from react typescript components
- generate component documentation from typescript props
- integrate typescript prop parsing with react styleguidist
- parse react component props without propTypes
- filter inherited html attributes from component docs
- build a react component style guide from typescript source

## When to choose
- your React components are typed with TypeScript and you need docgen metadata for documentation or style guides
- you use React Styleguidist and want automatic prop tables from TypeScript types

## When to avoid
- your components use plain propTypes instead of TypeScript types
- you need full API documentation generation rather than prop metadata extraction
