Using the script

We have a handy script set up that you can use to create components. It can be invoked directly from the scripts folder or via npm

npm run new

The bash script will ask for category; if a category does not exist, it will create it for you. After you have a provided a category, bash will ask you to name the component, it will capitalise the first letter for you, see naming conventions below for more information. Once you provide it with component name, you will get three files, namely, "Component.jsx", "component.test.js", "component.md".

All new components should have prop-types, and atleast one test written. If a component has a lot of functionalities, make sure that they are tested as well. Finally, feel free to illustrate the usage of component and add in relevant information in the markdown file.

Manually creating components.

Feel free to create your components manually, though make sure to follow our naming conventions and directory conventions which are as follows :

Directory Conventions

1. Place your component in appropriate category. Certain overly complex components such as the masthead etc. can get their own categories.
2. Inside the category, create a directory with the component's name in lowercase.

Naming Conventions

1. Make sure that the "component.jsx" is named exactly the same as what is being export from the javascript inside.
2. Lowercase the markdown files so as to not conflict imports during tests.
3. Tests are to be kept lowercase as well.

Once you have created your component, do make sure to add it to the relevant categories index.js as an export.
