Feedback
Receive feedback from your users
Overview
Feedback is crucial for knowing what your reader thinks, and help you to further improve documentation content.
Installation
Fumadocs CLI
npx @fumadocs/cli@latest add feedback
Shadcn CLI
npx shadcn@latest add https://fumadocs.dev/r/feedback.json
Usage
Now add the <Feedback />
component to your docs page:
import { DocsPage } from 'fumadocs-ui/page';
import { Feedback } from '@/components/feedback';
import posthog from 'posthog-js';
export default async function Page() {
return (
<DocsPage>
{/* at the bottom of page */}
<Feedback
onRateAction={async (url, feedback) => {
'use server';
await posthog.capture('on_rate_docs', feedback);
}}
/>
</DocsPage>
);
}
onRateAction
: fired when user submit feedback.
You can specify a server action, or any function (in client component). Such as reporting user feedback as a on_rate_docs
event on PostHog.
Integrating with GitHub Discussion
To report your feedback to GitHub Discussion, make a custom onRateAction
.
You can copy this server action as a starting point:
import { App, Octokit } from 'octokit';
import type { ActionResponse, Feedback } from '@/components/feedback';
export const repo = 'fumadocs';
export const owner = 'fuma-nama';
export const DocsCategory = 'Docs Feedback';
let instance: Octokit | undefined;
async function getOctokit(): Promise<Octokit> {
if (instance) return instance;
const appId = process.env.GITHUB_APP_ID;
const privateKey = process.env.GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY;
if (!appId || !privateKey) {
throw new Error(
'No GitHub keys provided for Github app, docs feedback feature will not work.',
);
}
const app = new App({
appId,
privateKey,
});
const { data } = await app.octokit.request(
'GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/installation',
{
owner,
repo,
headers: {
'X-GitHub-Api-Version': '2022-11-28',
},
},
);
instance = await app.getInstallationOctokit(data.id);
return instance;
}
interface RepositoryInfo {
id: string;
discussionCategories: {
nodes: {
id: string;
name: string;
}[];
};
}
let cachedDestination: RepositoryInfo | undefined;
async function getFeedbackDestination() {
if (cachedDestination) return cachedDestination;
const octokit = await getOctokit();
const {
repository,
}: {
repository: RepositoryInfo;
} = await octokit.graphql(`
query {
repository(owner: "${owner}", name: "${repo}") {
id
discussionCategories(first: 25) {
nodes { id name }
}
}
}
`);
return (cachedDestination = repository);
}
export async function onRateAction(
url: string,
feedback: Feedback,
): Promise<ActionResponse> {
'use server';
const octokit = await getOctokit();
const destination = await getFeedbackDestination();
if (!octokit || !destination)
throw new Error('GitHub comment integration is not configured.');
const category = destination.discussionCategories.nodes.find(
(category) => category.name === DocsCategory,
);
if (!category)
throw new Error(
`Please create a "${DocsCategory}" category in GitHub Discussion`,
);
const title = `Feedback for ${url}`;
const body = `[${feedback.opinion}] ${feedback.message}\n\n> Forwarded from user feedback.`;
let {
search: {
nodes: [discussion],
},
}: {
search: {
nodes: { id: string; url: string }[];
};
} = await octokit.graphql(`
query {
search(type: DISCUSSION, query: ${JSON.stringify(`${title} in:title repo:${owner}/${repo} author:@me`)}, first: 1) {
nodes {
... on Discussion { id, url }
}
}
}`);
if (discussion) {
await octokit.graphql(`
mutation {
addDiscussionComment(input: { body: ${JSON.stringify(body)}, discussionId: "${discussion.id}" }) {
comment { id }
}
}`);
} else {
const result: {
discussion: { id: string; url: string };
} = await octokit.graphql(`
mutation {
createDiscussion(input: { repositoryId: "${destination.id}", categoryId: "${category!.id}", body: ${JSON.stringify(body)}, title: ${JSON.stringify(title)} }) {
discussion { id, url }
}
}`);
discussion = result.discussion;
}
return {
githubUrl: discussion.url,
};
}
- Create your own GitHub App and obtain its app ID and private key.
- Fill required environment variables.
- Replace constants like
owner
,repo
, andDocsCategory
.
