- Easy-to-use CLI
- Handles all modern JS features
- Bundles
cjs
andes
module formats - create-react-app for example usage and local dev
- Rollup for bundling
- Babel for transpiling
- Jest for testing
- Supports complicated peer-dependencies
- Supports CSS modules
- Optional support for TypeScript
- Sourcemap creation
- Hundreds of public modules created
- Thorough documentation 😍
This package requires node >= 4
, but we recommend node >= 8
.

create-react-library
Answer some basic prompts about your module, and then the CLI will perform the following steps:
- copy over the template
- install dependencies via yarn or npm
- link packages together for local development
- initialize local git repo
At this point, your new module should resemble this screenshot and is all setup for local development.
Local development is broken into two parts (ideally using two tabs).
First, run rollup to watch your src/
module and automatically recompile it into dist/
whenever you make changes.
npm start # runs rollup with watch flag
The second part will be running the example/
create-react-app that's linked to the local version of your module.
# (in another tab)
cd example
npm start # runs create-react-app dev server
Now, anytime you make a change to your library in src/
or to the example app's example/src
, create-react-app
will live-reload your local dev server so you can iterate on your component in real-time.
npm publish
This builds cjs
and es
versions of your module to dist/
and then publishes your module to npm
.
Make sure that any npm modules you want as peer dependencies are properly marked as peerDependencies
in package.json
. The rollup config will automatically recognize them as peers and not try to bundle them in your module.
npm run deploy
This creates a production build of the example create-react-app
that showcases your library and then runs gh-pages
to deploy the resulting bundle.
