Simple project for creating react libraries
This project skeleton was created to help people get started with creating their own React component library using:
npm run test
npm run build
To run a live-reload Storybook server on your local machine:
npm run storybook
To export your Storybook as static files:
npm run storybook:build
Generating New Components
I’ve included a handy NodeJS util file under util called create-component.js. Instead of copy pasting components to create a new component, you can instead run this command to generate all the files you need to start building out a new component. To use it:
npm run generate YourComponentName
This will generate:
/src
/YourComponentName
YourComponentName.tsx
YourComponentName.stories.tsx
YourComponentName.test.tsx
YourComponentName.types.ts
YourComponentName.scss
The default templates for each file can be modified under util/templates.
You can type the component name in lowercase mode the command will Capitilized your component on generation time.
Don’t forget to add the component to your index.ts exports if you want the library to export the component!
