cra-template-crustlab v1.0.0

cra-template-crustlab

The official CrustLab template for Create React App based on cra-template-typescript

Usage

npx create-react-app my-app --template crustlab

Description

This package is a template that let's you generate an example boilerplate app with bunch of included libraries. The app take care of the following features:

Remember that the main idea of the boilerplate app is to deliver the easiest to understand example.

Internationalization

The app is adjusted to multiple language versions thanks to React-Intl.

Extracting and compiling messages

In order to extract messages from the code use below command:

yarn messages:extract

Above command creates lang/en.json file with english messages. Compare newly generated file with the content of lang/pl.json file (in case of any differences remove/add missing translations to lang/pl.json file).

Transform messages into AST to improve app performance:

yarn messages:compile

How can I add support for more languages?

1. Create a new file e.g. fr.json in lang directory.
2. Modify package.json file and add the script responsible for building AST based on newly created json file ("scripts" section):

formatjs compile src/lang/fr.json --ast --out-file src/compiled-lang/fr.json

3. Modify package.json file and extend the "compile:messages" script. ("scripts" section)
4. Import new compile language file in App.tsx.

Contribution

Feel free to add some value to the template either by sending an issue or creating a PR (the second option is prefered).

How can I test my solution locally?

1. Clone a repository with the template.
2. Modify something in the template.
3. Create an app based on previously modified template:

npx create-react-app my-app --template file:../path/to/template/cra-template-crustlab

Pro Tip: In most cases you can first create a new app based on current version of the template, modify something and paste the final code (from src directory) to the template directory inside template project. If you decide to add a new dependency do not forget to update template.json file.
