Example typescript react component library

An example project setup that allows for publishing a TypeScript React component module to npm.

Initially setup using create-react-library and converted to use TypeScript.

Project structure

The project contains a src directory containing the module files that get published to npm, and an example directory containing a working create-react-app project that contains an example usage of the module.

CI

This example also includes a .gitlab-ci.yml which publishes the module to npm (based on this guide) and deploys an example build to GitLab pages.
