Component folder structure

├── index.js
├── myComponent.css
├── myComponent.test
├── myComponent.view.js

With storybook enabled

myComponent

├── myComponent.stories.js
├── myComponent.view.js

With GQL enabled

├── myComponent.view.js

Setting default config

There is support for setting default config options, so you only have to set you desired config once. This makes creating your components even easier. All you have to do is follow one of these three options.

In your package.json, add a "crcf" property key with array of default config options

"stories" is to enable story book component

"spec" to have the file extensions

"crcf": [
  "scss",
  "proptypes",
  "stories",
  "spec"
]

Create a rc file named .crcfrc in the root of your project and insert a array of default config options in that file

[
  "scss",
  "proptypes",
  "stories"
]

Create a config file named .crcf.config.js in the root of your project and insert a array of default config options

[
  "scss",
  "proptypes"
  "stories"
]

So now all you have to do is type npx crcf componentName and you will get all your default options when you create a component or multiple components. Here below you can see all the options.

[
  "typescript",
  "scss",
  "less",
  "nocss",
  "hyphenatedcss",
  "notest",
  "reactnative",
  "createindex",
  "uppercase",
  "jsx",
  "proptypes",
  "stories",
  "nosemi",
  "cssmodules"
  "namedexports",
  "controller"
  "graphql",
  "stylesext",
  {
    "scssinclude": [
      "./src/assets/scss/settings"
    ],
    "output": "base/directory/to/place/created/components",
    "graphqldefs": "base/directory/for/graphql/graphql-types",
    "apollolink": {
      "path": "./apollo/LoadingApolloLink.js",
      "name": "LoadingApolloLink"
    }
  }
]

Creating index.js file for multiple component imports

$ npx crcf --createindex

Output in index.js file for multiple component imports

Publishing templates

If the project you are working on always needs components structured differently, we've got you covered.

Publishing the templates allows you to have finer control over the generated components and content. Published templates use [https://handlebarsjs.com/] to generate the different components.

$ npx crcf publish-templates

The templates will be copied to a directory .crcf/templates relative to the directory you ran the script from.

Modifying templates

Templates are always passed a number of variables to help you generate templates when certain flags / config options have been enabled.

Variable	Type	Description
name	string	The generated name of the component
typescript	boolean	true when typescript is enabled
native	boolean	true when building react native components
proptypes	boolean	true when proptypes is enabled
export	boolean	true when namedexports is enabled

Tests and stories have extra variables (NOT available in functional or class component templates)

Variable	Type	Description
nameLowercase	string	The generated name of the component in lowercase so it can be interpolated in sentences.
uppercase	boolean	true when uppercase is enabled
