Build React libraries, quickly
If you’re diving into the world of React library development, the React Library Quickstart Boilerplate is a fantastic way to streamline the process. This boilerplate is designed specifically for developers who want to kickstart their library creation quickly and efficiently. With a clean setup and a focus on essential tools, it makes the initial stages of library development less daunting, allowing you to focus on building robust features right away.
This boilerplate is not intended for app development but rather serves as a solid foundation for creating reusable libraries. It incorporates best practices and modern tooling to ensure that your library is not only functional but also maintains high coding standards. Whether you’re an experienced developer or new to library creation, this quickstart option is bound to simplify your workflow.
Babel Configuration: Comes pre-configured with React, Env, and Stage-2 presets to facilitate seamless coding and transpilation.
Webpack Setup: Includes a Webpack configuration allowing for UMD “dist” builds, compatible with AMD, CommonJS, and script tag usage.
Automated Module Naming: The UMD module name is automatically generated in camelCase format by reading your package.json, saving you the hassle of manual naming.
Git and NPM Ignores: Tailored .gitignore and .npmignore files are set up for optimal Webpack development, ensuring only the necessary files are included in your library.
Babel-CLI for Unbundled Builds: Offers a “lib” version of your library that preserves ES2015 import/exports for a cleaner output, ideal for advanced users.
Prettier Integration: Prettier is set up to minimize code diffs, with options like no semicolons and trailing commas to keep your codebase clean.
Minimal Configuration Files: Babel and Prettier settings are encapsulated within the package.json, reducing clutter and simplifying the setup process.
