Documentation
Writing Changesets for Components
When creating changesets for component-specific changes, add component metadata to help maintain documentation:
---
'@backstage/ui': patch
---
Fixed size prop handling for Avatar component.
Affected components: Avatar
Guidelines:
- Component names: Use PascalCase as they appear in imports (Avatar, ButtonIcon, SearchField)
- Multiple components:
Affected components: Button, ButtonLink, ButtonIcon - General changes: Omit the metadata line (build changes, package-level updates)
- Placement: The line can appear anywhere in the description
The changelog sync tool will parse these tags and update the documentation site automatically.
