React-template-create NPM

React-template-create

A CLI tool for easy react app development.

Description

Creating a component file and writng the same boilerplate code can be tedious. This package lets you create boiler code and files in your react project.

Setup

 npm install -g react-template-create

Config file (optional)

By default it creates components folder in the src folder. But to customize the behaviour create a template.config.js file

Default config

 module.exports = {
    root : 'src',
    component: 'components',
    pages: 'views',
    reactCompType: 'class',
    styleExt: 'css',
    testExt: 'spec.js',
    reactExt: 'jsx',
    autoCreateTest: false,
    autoCreateStyle: false,
}

name	function
root	All files are created in the src folder by default. changing this option would change the folder name.
component	All components are created in the root/component folder by default. changing this option would change the folder name.
pages	Routes or pages are created in the root/views folder by default. changing this option would change the folder name.
reactCompType	Class components are created by default if the -f flag is not passed in the terminal. changing it to 'func', creates functional components if -c flag is not passed
styleExt	Styles are created with the .css extension by default. changing this option would change the extension.
testExt	Test files are created with the .spec.js extension by default. changing this option would change the extension.
reactExt	Styles are created with the .jsx extension by default. changing this option would change the extension.
autoCreateTest	By default it doesn't create any test file. Making this option true create a sample test file using enzyme and snapshot testing. To overide this function in the command line you can pass the -no-test or -no-t flag. Otherwise leave the option as false and pass the -t or -test flags to manually create test files on every command.
autoCreateStyle	By default it doesn't create any style file. Making this option true create style files. To overide this function in the command line you can pass the -no-style or -no-s flag. Otherwise leave the option as false and pass the -s or -style flags to manually create style files on every command

Options

name	function	short-hand
-comp	creates files in components folder depending on the name in your config file for 'component'	N/A
-pages	creates files in views folder depending on the name in your config file for 'pages'	N/A
-func	generates a functional based comp	-f
-class	generates a class based component comp	-c
-style	includes a style file	-s
-test	includes a test file	-t
-no-style	doesn't include a style file if the autoCreateStyle option is set to true in your config	-no-s
-no-test	doesn't include a test file if the autoCreateTest opiton is set to true in your config	-no-t

To begin just type in your terminal of your working directory

! First argument should be the name of the component not a flag

r-create <and any other flags ...> For example

r-create navbar -comp

The above creates a src/components/Navbar folder with boiler plate code in the index.js file below

import React, { Component } from 'react';

class Navbar extends Component {
    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                
            </div>
        )
    }
}

export default Navbar;

Example 2

r-create Home -page -func -style -test

r-create Home -page -f -s -t

Generates the following

src/views/Home/index.js with content

import React from 'react';
import './Home.scss'

const Home = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            
        </div>
    )
}

export default Home;

src/views/Home/index.spec.js with content

import React from 'react';
import { shallow, mount } from 'enzyme';
import Home from './index';

describe('Home Component', () => {

it('renders and matches the snapshot', () => {
    const component = shallow(<Home />);
    expect(component).toMatchSnapshot();
});

// FURTHER TEST GOES HERE..

});

src/views/Home/Home.css file
