shrp meet

• Rollup
• Sass
• TypeScript

It also features:

• Storybook to help you create and show off your components
• Jest and React Testing Library enabling testing of the components

Development

Testing

npm run test

Building

npm run build

Storybook

To run a live-reload Storybook server on your local machine:

npm run storybook

To export your Storybook as static files:

npm run storybook:export

You can then serve the files under storybook-static using S3, GitHub pages, Express etc.

Generating New Components

Instead of copying and 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.

Don't forget to add the component to your index.ts exports if you want the library to export the component!

Installing Component Library Locally

Let's say you have another project (test-app) on your machine that you want to try installing the component library into without having to first publish the component library. In the test-app directory, you can run:

npm i --save ../shrp-meet

which will install the local component library as a dependency in test-app. It'll then appear as a dependency in package.json like:

  ...
  "dependencies": {
    ...
    "shrp-meet": "file:../shrp-meet",
    ...
  },
  ...

Your components can then be imported and used in that project.

Publishing

Hosting via NPM

First, make sure you have an NPM account and are logged into NPM using the npm login command.

Then update the name field in package.json to reflect your NPM package name in your private or public NPM registry. Then run:

npm publish

The "prepublishOnly": "npm run build" script in package.json will execute before publish occurs, ensuring the build/ directory and the compiled component library exist.

Usage

Let's say you created a public NPM package called shrp-meet with the TestComponent component created in this repository.

Usage of the component (after the library installed as a dependency into another project) will be:

import React from "react";
import { TestComponent } from "shrp-meet";

const App = () => (
  <div className="app-container">
    <h1>Hello I'm consuming the component library</h1>
    <TestComponent theme="primary" />
  </div>
);

export default App;

Using Component Library SASS Variables

Let's say you installed shrp-meet into your project. To use the exported variables/mixins, in a SASS file you would do the following:

@import '~shrp-meet/build/typography'

.example-container
    @include heading
    color: $white

CSS Modules

If you want to use CSS Modules, update postcss in rollup-config.js to:

postcss({
  modules: true
})
