# 📦 Typescript • React • Package Starter



A slightly opinionated starter kit for developing TypeScript and/or React NPM packages. It comes with a several pre-configured tools, so you could focus on coding instead of configuring a project for the nth time. From building to releasing a package, this starter kit has you covered.



> 👋 Hello there! Follow me [@linesofcode](https://twitter.com/linesofcode) or visit [linesofcode.dev](https://linesofcode.dev) for more cool projects like this one.



## 🏃 Getting started



```console

npx degit TimMikeladze/typescript-react-package-starter my-package



cd my-package && git init



pnpm install && pnpm dev

```



❗Important note: This project uses [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) for managing dependencies. If you want to use another package manager, remove the `pnpm-lock.yaml` and control-f for usages of `pnpm` in the project and replace them with your package manager of choice. If you don't have `pnpm` installed and want to use it, you can install it by running `npm install -g pnpm`.



## What's included?



- ⚡️ [tsup](https://github.com/egoist/tsup) - The simplest and fastest way to bundle your TypeScript libraries. Used to bundle package as ESM and CJS modules. Supports TypeScript, Code Splitting, PostCSS, and more out of the box.

- 📖 [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org/) - Build UI components and pages in isolation. It streamlines UI development, testing, and documentation.

- 🧪 [Vitest](https://vitest.dev/) - A testing framework for JavaScript. Preconfigured to work with TypeScript and JSX.

- ✅ [Biome](https://biomejs.dev/) - Format, lint, and more in a fraction of a second.

- 🪝 [Lefthook](https://github.com/evilmartians/lefthook) — Run pre-commit hooks, lints staged files, executes tests, and more.

- 🔼 [Release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it/) - release-it is a command line tool to automatically generate a new GitHub Release and populates it with the changes (commits) made since the last release.

- 🐙 [Test & Publish via Github Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions) - CI/CD workflows for your package. Run tests on every commit plus integrate with Github Releases to automate publishing package to NPM and Storybook to Github Pages.

- 🤖 [Dependabot](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot) - Github powered dependency update tool that fits into your workflows. Configured to periodically check your dependencies for updates and send automated pull requests.

- 🏃‍♀️‍➡️ [TSX](https://github.com/privatenumber/tsx) - Execute TypeScript files with zero-config in a Node.js environment.



## Usage



### 💻 Developing



Watch and rebuild code with `tsup` and runs Storybook to preview your UI during development.



```console

pnpm dev

```



Run all tests and watch for changes



```console

pnpm test

```



### 🏗️ Building



Build package with `tsup` for production.



```console

pnpm build

```



### ▶️ Running files written in TypeScript



To execute a file written in TypeScript inside a Node.js environment, use the `tsx` command. This will detect your `tsconfig.json` and run the file with the correct configuration. This is perfect for running custom scripts while remaining type-safe.



```console

pnpm tsx ./path/to/file.ts

```



This is useful for running scripts, starting a server, or any other code you want to run while remaining type-safe.



### 🖇️ Linking



Often times you want to `link` this package to another project when developing locally, circumventing the need to publish to NPM to consume it.



In a project where you want to consume your package run:



```console

pnpm link my-package --global

```



Learn more about package linking [here](https://pnpm.io/cli/link).



### 📩 Committing



When you are ready to commit simply run the following command to get a well formatted commit message. All staged files will automatically be linted and fixed as well.



```console

pnpm commit

```



### ✅ Linting



To lint and reformat your code at any time, simply run the following command. Under the hood, this uses [Biome](https://biomejs.dev/). If you use VSCode, I suggest installing the official [biome extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=biomejs.biome).



```console

pnpm lint

```



### 🔖 Releasing, tagging & publishing to NPM



Create a semantic version tag and publish to Github Releases. When a new release is detected a Github Action will automatically build the package and publish it to NPM. Additionally, a Storybook will be published to Github pages.



Learn more about how to use the `release-it` command [here](https://github.com/release-it/release-it).



```console

pnpm release

```



When you are ready to publish to NPM simply run the following command:



```console

pnpm publish

```



#### 🤖 Auto publish after Github Release (or manually by dispatching the Publish workflow)



❗Important note: in order to automatically publish a Storybook on Github Pages you need to open your repository settings, navigate to "Actions" and enable **"Read & write permissions"** for Workflows. Then navigate to "Pages" and choose **"GitHub Actions"** as the source for the Build and Deployment. After a successful deployment you can find your Storybook at `https://.github.io//`.



❗Important note: in order to publish package to NPM you must add your token as a Github Action secret. Learn more on how to configure your repository and publish packages through Github Actions [here](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/publishing-packages/publishing-nodejs-packages).



## 🎨 CSS & PostCSS



To bundle CSS files with your package that you intend on users to import within their own project, a few extra steps are required.



1. Add your CSS files to the `src` directory. For example, `src/styles.css`.

2. Modify `tsup.config.ts` file to include your CSS file as an entry point. For example:



```ts

import { defineConfig } from "tsup";



export default defineConfig({

	entry: ["src/index.ts", "src/styles.css"],

	// ...

});

```



3. Modify `package.json` to include the CSS file as an `exports` entry. For example:



```json

{

	"exports": {

		"./styles.css": "./dist/styles.css"

	}

}

```



4. Now consumers of your package can import your CSS file anywhere in their project. For example:



```ts

import "your-package/styles.css";

```



Alternatively, if your package has a hard dependency on a CSS file and you want it to always be loaded when your package is imported, you can import it anywhere within your package's code and it will be bundled with-in your package.



[tsup](https://github.com/egoist/tsup) supports PostCSS out of the box. Simply run `pnpm add postcss -D` add a `postcss.config.js` file to the root of your project, then add any plugins you need. Learn more how to configure PostCSS [here](https://tsup.egoist.dev/#css-support).



Additionally consider using the [tsup](https://github.com/egoist/tsup) configuration option `injectStyle` to inject the CSS directly into your Javascript bundle instead of outputting a separate CSS file.
