Create React Component Libraries

If you have tried it, let's face it BUILDING REACT COMPONENT LIBRARIES IS NOT EASY. Having used many existing templates utilising webpack or rollup I have been frustrated by various hurdles such as:-

• Fail to publish to NPM as ESN modules.
• Do not support SASS
• Import of modules breaks when you attempt to consume library via an external application
• Imports break when hooks are used in your component library
• Developing your test or demonstration environment using npm link is cumbersome and requires rebuilding package, caching headaches and no support for hot loading

This template allows your library to be developed in the src folder. You can place your demonstration / test application in the demo folder and link to it through an alias that matches your externally published package name.

Storybook is also implemented to allow easy testing of your components without building links within the demo foler.

Key Technologies

• Rollup
• Sass
• TypeScript
• Storybook to help you create and show off your components
