🚀 Component Examples

​
Cards for Type Organization

IDisposable

Interface for releasing unmanaged resourcesMembers: 1 • Implementations: 247

Task<T>

Represents an asynchronous operationGeneric: Yes • Thread-Safe: Yes

​
CodeGroups for Examples

public string GetData()
{
    var result = ProcessData();
    return result;
}

​
Accordions for Member Groups

  • Name (string) - Gets or sets the name
  • Id (int) - Gets the unique identifier
  • IsActive (bool) - Gets or sets the active state
  • CreatedDate (DateTime) - Gets the creation timestamp
  • Initialize() - Initializes the instance
  • Process() - Processes the data
  • Validate() - Validates the state
  • Dispose() - Releases resources

​
Callouts for Important Information

This type is available in .NET 6.0 and later versions.
This method is obsolete. Use ProcessAsync() instead.
This operation is thread-safe and can be called concurrently.
For better performance, consider using StringBuilder for string concatenation in loops.
All required dependencies are properly configured.

​
Steps for Sequential Processes

1

Install Package

dotnet add package CloudNimble.DotNetDocs
2

Configure Settings

var config = new DocConfiguration
{
    OutputPath = "./docs",
    Format = OutputFormat.Mintlify
};
3

Generate Documentation

var generator = new DocGenerator(config);
await generator.GenerateAsync();

​
🎯 Best Practices

​
Component Selection Guide

  • Use Cards for type overviews and namespace organization
  • Use CodeGroups for showing alternative implementations
  • Use Tabs for organizing members by category
  • Use Accordions for collapsible detailed information
  • Use Callouts for warnings, tips, and important notes
  • Use Mermaid for inheritance and relationship diagrams
