@pattern-lab/engine-react v0.2.1-beta.1

The React PatternEngine for Pattern Lab / Node

This is the very preliminary React PatternEngine for Patternlab / Node.

Status

You can author standalone React components that include only the main React module, which I know isn't much yet. We're working on it.

The current release works with the 2.X series of Patternlab / Node. Support for the 3.X series is underway on the dev branch.

Installing

To install the React PatternEngine in your edition, npm install @pattern-lab/engine-react should do the trick.

Supported features

• Includes
• Data inheritance: This can be achieved by combining react props & defaultProps
• Hidden Patterns
• Pseudo-Patterns
• Pattern States
• Pattern Parameters: With react props
• Style Modifiers: With react props
• Lineage
• Incremental builds

Usage

• *.js and *.jsx files are detected as patterns.
• To include patterns, import components using the standard Pattern Lab naming convention, as in: `javascript import HelloWorld from 'atoms-hello-world';

* Standard pattern JSON is passed into React components as props.

## Notes
* Components are rendered statically to markup at build time using ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup(), but also transpiled and inlined as scripts in the pattern code to execute at runtime.
* We currently assume the React include (and others, once we figure that out) are written using es2015 module syntax.
* The Babel transforms are currently hard-coded into the engine, but we hope to make this configurable in the future.
