Cloning the Repository

To clone the repository, run:

git clone https://github.com/DivyaGupta261/react-ui-components.git
cd react-ui-components

Installation

To install the dependencies, run:

npm install

Starting your own Component Library

If you want to start your own component library based on this template:

1. Clone the repository as mentioned above. 2. Remove the existing Git origin:

```bash
git remote remove origin
```

3. Create a new repository as you normally would do, on GitHub or any other Git hosting service.

4. Add the new repository as the origin:

```bash
git remote add origin <your-repository-url>
```

5. Push the code to the new repository:

git push -u origin main

Development

To start the development server with Vite:

npm run dev

Build

To build the library for production:

npm run build

This will compile TypeScript and bundle the project using Vite.

Linting and Formatting

To lint the project using ESLint:

npm run lint

To format the project using Prettier:

npm run format

Linting and formatting are also automatically run on staged files before each commit using Husky and lint-staged.

Testing

To run the tests once:

npm run test

To run the tests in watch mode:

npm run test-watch

To run the UI test interface with Vitest:

npm run test:ui

Storybook

To start Storybook server:

npm run storybook

To build the Storybook static site:

npm run build-storybook

Creating a New Component

To create a new component, use the following command:

npm run create-component <ComponentName>

This will create a new component in the src/components directory, along with a test file and a story file.

Modifying the Component Template

To modify the template files used when creating a new component, navigate to the scripts/templates directory and modify the files as needed. These templates are used by the create-component script to generate new component files.

Using the library in another project

To use the library locally in your other React projects, refer to this blog here

Pre-commit Hook

This project uses Husky to run a pre-commit hook that ensures code quality by running lint-staged on staged files. The pre-commit hook is defined as follows:

#!/bin/sh
. "$(dirname "$0")/_/husky.sh"

npx lint-staged

This script ensures that all staged files are linted and formatted and tests are run, before they are committed.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please follow these guidelines when contributing:

1. Fork the repository
2. Create a new branch (git checkout -b feature/your-feature).
3. Commit your changes (git commit -m 'Add some feature').
4. Push to the branch (git push origin feature/your-feature).
5. Open a pull request.
