Overview

Macro-components provide a powerful way to create flexible layouts and composite UI elements within React applications. Designed to simplify the development process, this library allows developers to encapsulate layout structures efficiently without the hassle of defining custom props. This can be especially beneficial when aiming for a clean and maintainable component architecture.

By leveraging the principles of React composition and keeping the API surface area minimal, macro-components offer a streamlined approach to building complex UI components, such as panels, cards, and alerts. This enables developers to create reusable components with encapsulated DOM structures, enhancing both the functionality and organization of their user interfaces.

Features

  • Single Component Creator: Allows for the creation of a complete UI component from a singular entry point, promoting ease of use and efficiency.

  • Intended for Styled-Components & Glamorous: Specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with popular styling libraries, enhancing the visual aspect of your components.

  • Encapsulated Layout Structure: Enables the creation of composite components without the need for arbitrary props APIs, maintaining clean and readable code.

  • Composability: Integrates well with other React components, empowering developers to build upon existing structures effortlessly.

  • Easy Child Component Management: By utilizing an element function, developers can manage child components effectively, providing a clear structure for nested elements.

  • Conditional Rendering: Supports the conditional omission of children elements, allowing for greater flexibility in UI design based on dynamic data.

  • Clone Component Feature: Facilitates the application of default props to child elements, streamlining component adjustments and consistency across instances.

  • Unique Instance Management: When using a component multiple times, it supports unique keys in the components object, ensuring that each instance is properly managed.
