Re-usable React components
If you’re new to TypeScript and React, checkout this handy cheatsheet
npm install @arizeai/components
TSDX scaffolds your new library inside /src
, and also sets up a Parcel-based playground for it inside /example
.
The recommended workflow is to run TSDX in one terminal:
npm start # or 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 Storybook or the example playground:
Run inside another terminal:
yarn storybook
This loads the stories from ./stories
.
NOTE: Stories should reference the components as if using the library, similar to the example playground. This means importing from the root project directory. This has been aliased in the tsconfig and the storybook webpack config as a helper.
Then run the example inside another:
cd example
yarn
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, so if you are seeing an out of date component, make sure TSDX is running in watch mode like we recommend above. No symlinking required, we use Parcel's aliasing.
To do a one-off build, use npm run build
or yarn build
.
To run tests, use npm test
or yarn test
.
Code quality is set up for you with prettier
, husky
, and lint-staged
. Adjust the respective fields in package.json
accordingly.
Jest tests are set up to run with npm test
or yarn test
.
Calculates the real cost of your library using size-limit with npm run size
and visulize it with npm run analyze
.
This is the folder structure we set up for you:
/example
index.html
index.tsx # test your component here in a demo app
package.json
tsconfig.json
/src
index.tsx # EDIT THIS
/test
blah.test.tsx # EDIT THIS
/stories
Thing.stories.tsx # EDIT THIS
/.storybook
main.js
preview.js
.gitignore
package.json
README.md # EDIT THIS
tsconfig.json
We do not set up react-testing-library
for you yet, we welcome contributions and documentation on this.
TSDX uses Rollup 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.
Two actions are added by default:
main
which installs deps w/ cache, lints, tests, and builds on all pushes against a Node and OS matrixsize
which comments cost comparison of your library on every pull request using size-limit
Please see the main tsdx
optimizations docs. In particular, know that you can take advantage of development-only optimizations:
// ./types/index.d.ts
declare var __DEV__: boolean;
// inside your code...
if (__DEV__) {
console.log('foo');
}
You can also choose to install and use invariant and warning functions.
CJS, ESModules, and UMD module formats are supported.
The appropriate paths are configured in package.json
and dist/index.js
accordingly. Please report if any issues are found.
The Playground is just a simple Parcel app, you can deploy it anywhere you would normally deploy that. Here are some guidelines for manually deploying with the Netlify CLI (npm i -g netlify-cli
):
cd example # if not already in the example folder
npm run build # builds to dist
netlify deploy # deploy the dist folder
Alternatively, if you already have a git repo connected, you can set up continuous deployment with Netlify:
netlify init
# build command: yarn build && cd example && yarn && yarn build
# directory to deploy: example/dist
# pick yes for netlify.toml
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. TSDX has no opinion on this, 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.
We recommend using np.
When creating a new package with TSDX within a project set up with Lerna, you might encounter a Cannot resolve dependency
error when trying to run the example
project. To fix that you will need to make changes to the package.json
file inside the example
directory.
The problem is that due to the nature of how dependencies are installed in Lerna projects, the aliases in the example project's package.json
might not point to the right place, as those dependencies might have been installed in the root of your Lerna project.
Change the alias
to point to where those packages are actually installed. This depends on the directory structure of your Lerna project, so the actual path might be different from the diff below.
"alias": {
- "react": "../node_modules/react",
- "react-dom": "../node_modules/react-dom"
+ "react": "../../../node_modules/react",
+ "react-dom": "../../../node_modules/react-dom"
},
An alternative to fixing this problem would be to remove aliases altogether and define the dependencies referenced as aliases as dev dependencies instead. However, that might cause other problems.
