Features

• Create React components.
• Choose between TypeScript and JavaScript.
• Components can be function, arrow or class.
• Even you can use your favorite ui library (personal whim).

Quickstart

From your terminal run:

# install the package with NPM
$ npx n-comp

# or install it with YARN
$ yarn n-comp

cd into your project's directory, and try creating a new component:]

$ new-component MyNewComponent

Your project will now have a new directory at src/components/MyNewComponent. This directory has two files:

// `MyNewComponent/index.js`
export { default } from './MyNewComponent';

// `MyNewComponent/MyNewComponent.js`
function MyNewComponent() {
  return (
    <div>
      <p>MyNewComponent</p>
    </div>
  );
}

export default MyNewComponent;

These files will be formatted according to your Prettier configuration.

Configuration

Configuration can be done through 3 different ways:

• Creating a global .nc.config.json in your home directory (~/.nc.config.json).
• Creating a local .nc.config.json in your project's root directory.
• Command-line arguments.

The resulting values are merged, with command-line values overwriting local values, and local values overwriting global ones.
