React Component Generator

An Accio generator that creates a skeleton of a React component using CommonJS imports.

Setting Up

Installation

npm install accio npm install react_generator

Configuration

Example of an accio.config.js that will allow calling the react_generator:

module.exports = {
  aliases: {
    rc: 'react_component'
  },
  generators: {
    react_component: {
      path: '/node_modules/react_generator/react_component.js',
      output: function(name) {
        return ('/src/components/' + name + '.js.jsx');
      },
    }
  }
};

This will allow calling the generator under the name 'react_component' or 'rc' with Accio and will generate component skeletons in the directory 'src/components/' with the extension '.js.jsx'.

Usage

Within the root of your project directory, you should be able to run the either of the following commands to generate a 'to_do_list' component skeleton:

> accio react_component to_do_list

or

> accio rc to_do_list

What it does

The generator will use the command line argument as the name of the generated file, and it will create a component using the camel-cased version of the filename. Given the argument 'to_do_list', it will output the following code into the generated file:

var React = require('react/react');

var ToDoList = React.createClass({
  /**
   * @return {Object}
   */
  render: function() {
    return (
      <p>ToDoList CONTENT HERE</p>
    );
  }
});

module.exports = ToDoList;

Generating multiple components

You may pass multiple component names at the same time:

> accio rc to_do_list to_do_item to_do_form to_do_app

This will generate four separate component skeletons.
