# React FS Renderer [![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/ericvicenti/react-fs-renderer.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/ericvicenti/react-fs-renderer)

Tired of using an imperitive API to manipulate a tree of output? React gives us a great declarative interface for browser DOMs and native view heirarchies, but it doesn't help output a directory of files with a given format.. until now!

First, install it (and you'll also need React):

```
npm install --save react react-fs-renderer
```

You'll need to compile JSX- see [this gist for the exact setup to do so](https://gist.github.com/ericvicenti/4a10c1349ba4ab0e4f6e6e2f95cfcfd8). Now you can use it:

```js
import React from 'react';
import {
renderToFS,
} from 'react-fs-renderer';

const JSONFile = ({ name, json }) => (

);

const MyProjectTemplate = ({ name, displayName }) => (







);

renderToFS(
,
'./testDir'
);
```

This will create the following file tree:

```
./testDir/app.json
./testDir/package.json
./testDir/src/GreatApp.js
```

Now you can use React to declaratively render to files :-)

This is a proof-of-concept implementation for the purpose of gathering feedback. If there is demand for this concept, I will maintain it and help move it to an organization for long-term stewardship.
