PropTypes C# Webpack Plugin

A Webpack plugin that generates C# classes from React component propTypes

This is a work in progress!

yarn add @creuna/prop-types-csharp-webpack-plugin

Usage

The plugin will extract PropType definitions from .jsx files and convert them into C# class files.

Config example

const PropTypesCSharpPlugin = require('@creuna/prop-types-csharp-plugin');

module.exports = function(env, options = {}) {
  const production = options.mode === 'production';

  return {
    entry: { ... },
    output: { ... },
    module: { ... },
    plugins: production ? [new PropTypesCSharpPlugin({
      path: 'classes',
      match: [/\.jsx$/, 'source/components'],
      exclude: ['node_modules', 'some/path']
    })] : []
  };
};

Options: Object

exclude: Array of String | RegExp = ['node-modules']

Use this to exclude paths or files from class generation. Default is replaced when setting this.

indent: Number = 2

Number of spaces of indentation in generated classes.

log: Boolean = false

If set to true, will output some information about the plugin to the shell.

match: Array of String | RegExp = [/\.jsx$/]

Use this to choose what files to include when generating classes. Default is replaced when setting this.

namespace: String

If supplied, all generated classes will be wrapped in this namespace.

path: String

Path relative to output.path to put .cs files.

Webpack modes

Depending on webpack.options.mode, the plugin will do one of the following:

• production: Writes .cs files to disk, Webpack build is aborted on errors.
• development: Does not write files, runs in parallel, warns instead of throwing errors.

Ignored props

Props of type func, element, node and instanceOf are ignored when creating classes because they make no sense in C#-land.

Illegal propTypes

Props of type object and array are ambiguous and cannot be included in C# classes as-is.

object should have a propTypesMeta definition or be replaced by a shape containing an object literal or another component's propTypes.

array should be replaced by an arrayOf or have a propTypesMeta definition.

oneOfType is currently also illegal until we figure out how to deal with it.

propTypesMeta

propTypesMeta can be used to exclude some props from C# classes or to provide type hints for ambiguous types.

Supported values for props in propTypesMeta are

• "int"
• "float"
• "exclude"
• React component
• Array()

"int" and "float" replace PropTypes.number if supplied. By default, PropTypes.number will result in int in C# classes.

Functional component:

const Component = () => <div />;

Component.propTypes = {
  someProp: PropTypes.number,
  anotherProp: PropTypes.string,
  someComponent: PropTypes.object,
  items: PropTypes.array
};

Component.propTypesMeta = {
  someProp: "int",
  anotherProp: "exclude",
  someComponent: SomeComponent,
  items: Array(AnotherComponent)
};

Class component:

class Component extends React.Component {
  static propTypes = {
    someProp: PropTypes.number,
    anotherProp: PropTypes.string,
    someComponent: PropTypes.object,
    items: PropTypes.array
  };

  static propTypesMeta = {
    someProp: "float",
    anotherProp: "exclude",
    someComponent: SomeComponent,
    items: Array(AnotherComponent)
  };
}

Babel plugin

Having a bunch of propTypesMeta scattered all around your production code might not be what you want. To solve this issue, a Babel plugin is included which, if enabled, will strip all instances of ComponentName.propTypesMeta or static propTypesMeta when building with Webpack.

.babelrc:

{
  "plugins": ["@creuna/prop-types-csharp-webpack-plugin/babel-plugin"]
}
