This package meant for developing React components (not apps!) that can be published to NPM. If you’re looking to build an app, you should use
create-react-app,razzle,nextjs,gatsby, orreact-static.
If you’re new to TypeScript and React, checkout this handy cheatsheet
Monoreact scaffolds your new library inside /src, and also sets up a Parcel-based playground for it inside /example.
yarn start
This builds to /dist and runs the project in watch mode so any edits you save inside src causes a rebuild to /dist.
Then run either example playground or storybook:
Run inside another terminal:
yarn docz
This loads the component documentation of *.mdx extension.
Then run the example inside another:
cd example
yarn install
yarn start
The default example imports and live reloads whatever is in /dist, so if you are seeing an out of date component, make sure the package is running in watch mode.
To do a one-off build, use yarn build.
To run tests, use yarn test.
Jest tests are set up to run with yarn test. This runs the test watcher (Jest) in an interactive mode. By default, runs tests related to files changed since the last commit.
The package uses Rollup v1.x as a bundler and generates multiple rollup configs for various module formats and build settings. See Optimizations for details.
tsconfig.json is set up to interpret dom and esnext types, as well as react for jsx. Adjust according to your needs.
cd example
yarn install
yarn start
The default example imports and live reloads whatever is in /dist, so if you are seeing an out of date component, make sure the package is running in watch mode like we recommend above.
Per Palmer Group guidelines, always use named exports. Code split inside your React app instead of your React library.
There are many ways to ship styles, including with CSS-in-JS. Configure how you like.
For vanilla CSS, you can include it at the root directory and add it to the files section in your package.json, so that it can be imported separately by your users and run through their bundler's loader.
