create-reactjs-component

Generate one or multiple boilerplate components within src.

Note that this component uses .scss files instead of .css files by default. If you do not want to use .scss files, simply change the .scss file extension to .css and ensure that you update the reference in your component file import.

If you do want to use .scss files, in order to make those work - assuming you use webpack - you will also need to install style-loader, css-loader, sass-loader, node-sass, and webpack, as well as configure your webpack (which will require you to eject if you're using CRA). Details on how to do so can be found here.

The test file assumes that you're using Jest and Enzyme for your testing needs.

Note: the scripts are bash scripts and may not run on Windows machines. If that is the case, please use Git Bash.

Install

npm install -g create-reactjs-component

Example

create-react-component MyComponentName

or to specify a specific type of component

create-react-component --template container MyComponentName

will create

src
├── components
	├── Test
		├── index.js
		├── Test.js
		├── Test.test.js
		├── Test.scss
		├── README.md

where the individual files look like the following:

index.js

import Test from './Test';

export default Test;

Test.scss

/* todo: delete file if not needed */

Test.js

import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import styles from './Test.scss';

const Test = props => (
	<div>This is a component called Test.</div>
);

// todo: Unless you need to use lifecycle methods or local state,
// write your component in functional form as above and delete
// this section. 
// class Test extends React.Component {
//   render() {
//     return <div>This is a component called Test.</div>;
//   }
// }

const TestPropTypes = {
	// always use prop types!
};

Test.propTypes = TestPropTypes;

export default Test;

Test.test.js

import React from 'react';
import { shallow, render, mount } from 'enzyme';
import Test from './Test';

describe('Test', () => {
  let props;
  let shallowTest;
  let renderedTest;
  let mountedTest;

  const shallowTestComponent = () => {
    if (!shallowTest) {
      shallowTest = shallow(
        <Test {...props}>{props.children}</Test>
      );
    }
    return shallowTest;
  };

  const renderTestComponent = () => {
    if (!renderedTest) {
      renderedTest = render(
        <Test {...props}>{props.children}</Test>
      );
    }
    return renderedTest;
  };

  const mountTestComponent = () => {
    if (!mountedTest) {
      mountedTest = render(
        <Test {...props}>{props.children}</Test>
      );
    }
    return mountedTest;
  };  

  beforeEach(() => {
    props = {};
    shallowTest = undefined;
    renderedTest = undefined;
    mountedTest = undefined;
  });

  // Shallow / unit tests begin here
 
  // Render / mount / integration tests begin here
});
