Create a new React component

Forked from https://github.com/joshwcomeau/new-component. Added Storybook and basic testing.

Usage

Install via NPM:

# Using Yarn:
$ yarn global add @metamn/new-component

# or, using NPM
$ npm i -g @metamn/new-component

Run:

$ cd PROJECT_DIRECTORY
$ new-component Button

What you'll get

In src/components/Button:

// `Button/Button.js`
import React from "react";
import PropTypes from "prop-types";

/**
 * Defines the prop types
 */
const propTypes = {};

/**
 * Defines the default props
 */
const defaultProps = {};


/**
 * Displays the component
 */
const Button = props => {
  return <div className="Button">Button</div>;
};

Button.propTypes = propTypes;
Button.defaultProps = defaultProps;

export default Button;
export { propTypes as ButtonPropTypes, defaultProps as ButtonDefaultProps };

// `Button/Button.stories.js`
import React from "react";
import Button from "./Button";
import ApiDoc from "./Button.md";

export default {
  component: Button,
  title: "Button",
  parameters: { notes: ApiDoc }
};

export const Default = () => <Button />;

// `Button/Button.md`
# Button

// `Button/Button.test.js`
import React from "react";
import { render } from "@testing-library/react";
import Button from "./Button";

it("has a Button component", () => {
  const { getByText } = render(<Button />);
  expect(getByText("Button")).toBeInTheDocument();
});

// `Button/index.js`
export { default, ButtonPropTypes, ButtonDefaultProps } from "./Button";
