helptribe-react-vite-component-tagger

A Vite plugin that automatically adds data-helptribe-id and data-helptribe-name attributes to your React components. This is useful for identifying components in the DOM, for example for testing or analytics.

Installation

npm install helptribe-react-vite-component-tagger
# or
yarn add helptribe-react-vite-component-tagger
# or
pnpm add helptribe-react-vite-component-tagger

Usage

Add the plugin to your vite.config.ts file:

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react";
import helptribeTagger from "helptribe-react-vite-component-tagger";

// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react(), helptribeTagger()],
});

The plugin will automatically add data-helptribe-id and data-helptribe-name to all your React components.

The data-helptribe-id will be a unique identifier for each component instance, in the format path/to/file.tsx:line:column.

The data-helptribe-name will be the name of the component.

Testing & Publishing

Bump it to an alpha version and test in Helptribe app, eg. "version": "0.0.1-alpha.0",

Then publish it:

cd packages/@helptribe/react-vite-component-tagger/ && npm run prepublishOnly && npm publish

Update the scaffold like this:

cd scaffold && pnpm remove helptribe-react-vite-component-tagger && pnpm add -D helptribe-react-vite-component-tagger

Run the E2E tests and make sure it passes.

Then, bump to a normal version, e.g. "0.1.0" and then re-publish. We'll try to match the main Helptribe app version where possible.
