React Quiz Maker

This is a quiz building library which allows developers to implement a variety of animated quiz types with a custom design, without having to implement most of the quiz logic.

API

To achieve a custom design, the API gives you control over how some of the quiz components are implemented. The API tries to balance ease-of-use vs customisability, i.e. to what extent you can modify the quiz vs how easy it is to implement a custom design and functionality. Over time the API can be extended to allow more customisability (especially around the animations).

Implementable components

Component	Props	Type	Description
<YourQuiz>	config data	QuizConfig QuizData	An optional component you can name anything. It is recommended to create this, as it wraps all other components, so it's useful for styling.
<IntroPage>	state	QuizStateProps	This is the intro page for the quiz. Contains the <Quiz.StartBtn />.
<QuestionPage>	children	React.ReactNode	This is a presentational component which wraps the question page. All question-related subcomponents will be passed here as children
<QuestionHeader />	state	QuizStateProps	The header for the question, it contains the overall quiz progress.
<QuestionInnerWrapper>	children	React.ReactNode	Presentational wrapper component, the children passed to it are the <QuestionBody> and <Explainer> (if used). Useful for styling.
<QuestionBody>	state	QuizStateProps	Contains the question and answers.
<Explainer>	state	QuizStateProps	Contains the explanation box.
<ResultPage>	state	QuizStateProps	Contains the final quiz result.

Provided components

The library provides some additional components used for navigating the quiz and displaying progress, although you can implement your own (see code examples below). All these receive the same state prop in order to keep the API simple. You need to ensure you use them in the appropriate components, otherwise you will encounter bugs.

Component	Props	Type	Used In	Description
<Quiz />	config data components?	QuizConfig QuizData QuizComponents		Main quiz component. Can be used on its own if you don't pass any components
<Quiz.StartButton>	children state className? style?	React.ReactNode QuizStateProps string React.CSSProperties	<IntroPage> <ResultPage>	Start (or restart) button - in
<Quiz.QuestionNextButton>	children state className? style?	React.ReactNode QuizStateProps string React.CSSProperties	<QuestionBody>	Question Next button
<Quiz.ExplainerNextButton>	children state className? style?	React.ReactNode QuizStateProps string React.CSSProperties	<Explainer>	Explainer Next button
<Quiz.AnswerButton>	children state index className? style?	React.ReactNode QuizStateProps numberstring React.CSSProperties	<QuestionBody>	Answer button
<Quiz.AutoResumeProgress />	state className? style?	QuizStateProps string React.CSSProperties	<QuestionBody>	Show the remaining time until the next question when autoResume is on

Component structure

This visualises how the implementable components wrap each other to help you with styling.

Question and explainer

Result

Code example

This is an example of a custom quiz which uses the available implementable components. Uses tailwind css for styling. If it's not clear what each component contains, look at the pictures above this section. This is the same design/implementation as in the demo.

App.tsx

import type { QuizData } from "react-quiz-maker";
import MyQuiz from "./components/MyQuiz";
import scoredQuizData from "./scoredQuiz.json";

const config = {
	autoResume: true,
	autoResumeDelay: 1200,
	revealAnswer: false,
	explainerEnabled: false,
	explainerNewPage: false,
	animation: "slideUp",
} as const;

function App() {
	return <MyQuiz config={config} data={scoredQuizData as QuizData} />;
}

export default App;

Important points

• If you omit any of the implementable components, it will use a default one. If you wish to omit it entirely (for example QuestionHeader), you can create a component that returns null.
• If you'd like to omit the intro page, you can create an IntroPage component which in its body calls the handleStartBtnClick() function from the state to automatically start the quiz (will add code example in the near future).
