How to use it?

You can use the project in this way:

Install

• 1. Clone this repository and change the directory to the project folder.
• 2. Edit the package.json file to change the package name, author info, and GitHub link info as per your information.
• 3. Run npm install in the root directory of your project.
• 4. Add your React component and hooks. Hooks to go inside the hooks folder.

Build

You can build the project in two ways:

• 1. yarn build: To build the project with a source map.
• 2. yarn build: prod. This will generate minified files without a sourcemap.

NPM Pack for test

After building, create a npm locally to test:

npm pack: this command will generate the tar npm package file that you can take to any React-based projects(including Next.js) and use it.

• Just copy the tar npm package file into your ReactJS/Next.js project folder.
• Add this line to your project's package.json file:

  "<NPM-PACKAGE-NAME>": "file:<PATH-TO-THE-TAR-PACKAGE-FILE>",

  Please note the NPM-PACKAGE-NAME should be the same as the name you provided in the package.json file after cloning this repo.
• Now you can check the node-modules folder to see if a new folder has been created with the NPM-PACKAGE-NAME. Then your installation is successful.

Publish It

• To publish it, you must have an account on https://www.npmjs.com.
• Make sure to be in this project folder.
• Now, open a command prompt/terminal and execute this command to login:

  npm login
  

• Please provide the credentials you have created already. You can also check if you are in the session with the following command,

  npm whoami
  

The next part is just to run the the publish command,

 npm publish

Happy Publishing!
