Scripts used to publish a transpiled version of Skyscanner's Backpack design-system components.
Support
This is not an official Skyscanner project. It is provided "as-is", with no guarantee of support.
Why?
Skyscanner's web components (for React) are published untranspiled. This is fine internally because we have a custom set of react-scripts that handle ES6 syntax and SASS files, but projects outside Skyscanner might not want to use backpack-react-scripts or set up custom bundler rules.
So this is a transpiled version of the components that uses vanilla JS and CSS.
This is shipped as one big package - but modern tree-shaking techniques should mean that your bundle size is not adversely affected.
Documentation
For component documentation, see https://backpack.github.io/.
Using in a create-react-app
Simply import the components you want to use, and render them.
import BpkButton from 'backpack-transpiled/bpk-component-button';
...
return (<BpkButton>Test</BpkButton>);
Using in Next.js
To use this in Next.js there are a couple of additional steps needed.
Install css-loader, mini-css-extract-plugin, next-transpile-modules and webpack.
(If your next project is using webpack 4, make sure you install a version of webpack 4).
Download next.config.js and place it at the top of your project:
Installing and using backpack-transpiled should now work as it would in a vanilla create-react-app.
