Generate React CLI

Why?

To help speed up productivity in React projects and stop copying, pasting, and renaming files each time you want to create a new component.

Few notes:

The CLI now supports two testing component library templates Enzyme & Testing Library that work with Jest.
The CLI has an opinion on how files are structured within the project. We follow "grouping by features."

Install

npm i -g generate-react-cli

Config File

When you run generate-react-cli within your project the first time, it will ask you a series of questions to customize the cli for your project needs (this will create a "generate-react-cli.json" config file).

e.g. generate-react-cli.json

{
  "component": {
    "path": "src/components",
    "css": {
      "preprocessor": "scss",
      "module": true
    },
    "test": {
      "library": "Testing Library",
      "withTest": true
    },
    "withStory": true,
    "withLazy": false
  }
}

Commands

Generate Component

generate-react component <ComponentName>

Shorthand

g-r c <ComponentName>

This command will create a folder with your component name within your default (e.g. src/components) directory, and its corresponding files.

Options

Parameter	Description	Default Value
-p or --path	Value of the path where you want the component to be generated in (e.g. src/pages).	src/components
-t or --withTest	Create a corresponding test file with this component?	Boolean value selected in "generate-react-cli.json" config file
-s or --withStory	Create a corresponding story file with this component?	Boolean value selected in "generate-react-cli.json" config file
-l or --withLazy	Create a corresponding lazy file (a file that lazy-loads your component out of the box and enables code splitting) with this component?	Boolean value selected in "generate-react-cli.json" config file

Have fun!
