react-build-lib

A simple utility for compiling your React components to CommonJS modules.

Ideally, you should never need to touch Webpack and Babel if all you want to do is to make and publish React components.

This utility uses Babel presets: react, latest, and stage-3.

How to use

1. Install the package with either yarn or npm:

yarn add --dev react-build-lib
npm install --save-dev react-build-lib  # or use npm

2. Add the following script to your package.json file:

"scripts": {
  "build:lib": "react-build-lib"
}

3. Now, everytime you run npm run build:lib, babel will compile all your javascript files in your src folder and output a lib folder. By default, it will also copy over any other files.

Note: You can also set your source and ouput directories by providing two additional arguments:

react-build-lib src lib
