# React Library Template

[![GitHub license](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg)](./LICENSE) [![PRs Welcome](https://img.shields.io/badge/PRs-welcome-brightgreen.svg)](./CONTRIBUTING.md)

Instantly create React Component Library with this open-source template repo.

# Get Started

To use this repo template properly, _please make sure you update the following files in your repo._

```
./
AUTHORS
MAINTAINERS

src/
lib/
components/ // Your React Components here
```

### **Step 1** - Login to NPM

To get started, you must have an account with [npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com/). If you don't have an account, you can sign up for one here: [https://www.npmjs.com/signup](https://www.npmjs.com/signup). Then, login into your npm account using CLI.

```shell
npm login
```

### **Step 2** - Update `package.json`

Update `package.json` with your NPM package information. Please make sure to update the following fields:

File: `package.json`

```json
{
"name": "react-library-x",
"author": "your-username",
"version": "1.0.0"
}
```

**Tip:** _[Do a Quick Search](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=isMyUniquePkgNameAvailable) to find a package name that's unique and available._

### **Step 3** - Build & Deploy

Use the following command to build your components into `dist` folder, that is automatically created in build process.

```shell
npm run build
```

Once, you're done building, you can deploy your package to [NPM Registry](https://www.npmjs.com/) by running the following command in CLI.

```shell
npm publish
```

### **Step 4** - Update

To update the NPM Package, increase the version number in `package.json`.

```json
{
"version": "1.0.1"
}
```

And run the following command in CLI to publish an update for your NPM package.

```shell
npm publish
```

### **Step 5** - Install new Component Library.

Once, the package is published, you can run the following command in CLI to install the package to any React project:

```shell
npm i react-library-x

- OR -

yarn add react-library-x
```

Replace `react-library-x` with the name of your NPM package.

### **Step 6** - Use the new Component Library.

Once, you have installed the new React component library, you can use it in your project by importing it in your `App.js` or any `.js` / `.jsx` files.

```diff
+ import { Box } from "react-library-x";
import "./App.css";

function App() {
return (


+ A Component from my new React Library

);
}

export default App;
```
